truck camper insulation?
I am building a removable truck camper and need a light weight insulation. It fits in the back of my 93 ford f150 and it has a portable shower and toilet in-closed bathroom. It will also be able to be set up off of the truck as a 5ft 6inch 2 person sleeper. I am making it so that it will come apart to fit inside of my truck bed under my bed topper to move it. It will be 7 ft tall and 6 ft 8 in long. I have not made the inside walls yet because it weighs about 600 pounds so far. the inside walls will weigh around 50 pounds but I need a light weight insulation for it. I will be using my truck bed topper for the roof when it is put together. any help would be great.
please remember that this is a take apart camper all walls and roof are made to come apart to fit in the bed of my truck for moving it. with the truck bed topper over the pieces. so it can not be like a spray in type.

* Radiant barrier sheet 1.5lb per 4' x 12' roll
To fasten to wood: stapler or staple gun
To fasten to hard surface : 2.5" inch wide - thin foil tape (12 bucks a roll but unlike cloth duct tape it won't fall off or creep when it gets hot)
Best wishes on your build J

You might also consider spray-in expanding polyurethane foam for enclosed places and to seal joints against water leaks. Great Stuff is one brand. If water gets into any fiber-type insulation like various boards or fiberglass, it stops being insulation at all.
