Worse comes to worse you could always attach high density foam board directly to the walls and mount the shelves over that. The green foam board interlocks for a good seal.

Thanks for keeping us updated. Looking good and functional.
I've added your name to the 'Steel Butt" Registry (those who have made a recovery or trip of more than 1000 miles in their MV).
When you redo your fluorescent paint do it white base first, wait a couple days till it is good and dry then the fluorescent. It will really show up and last a lot longer.By the way, you'll see my company name painted on the side and rear of the 109. I found 6" tall number/letter stencil kit at Home Depot in the garage sale product area near the 'for sale' and restroom signs. The stencil kit was <$10. I used some fluorescent orange spray paint, and it worked pretty good for a couple months, but the rain and weather has already faded it out to a pale yellow... I'll just refresh it when I get a chance.
Wow. Your rig is looking good! You have a thread on your truck? I guess i'll investigate... I'd love to see photos of the interior. As far as the 12v alternator, I'm still debating on that vs. a 24v to 12v converter... the good ones run about $1000. ...thats what the owner of Boyce Equipment told me about 2 months ago.Hi Jason,
Truck is looking good, I mounted a Harbor freight lift in the back of my truck, so I can lift heavy stuff, you could add one in your trailer if needed, and here is some pictures of my 12v alternator
Ya know, for $1000, you could probably find one of those rare 24v/12v alternators. has both outputs. Just a thought.Wow. Your rig is looking good! You have a thread on your truck?

Thanks Stampy. I already bought a roll of aluminum bubble wrap insulation, with plans of using that for insulation. However, the thought of driving around inside a jiffypop bag seems more and more unappealing. I don't see an easy or attractive way to paint or cover it either, since that aluminum layer is so thin. I just looked into the K flex sheets online, and that stuff seems perfect! I think I'll return the bubble wrap to the hardware store, and try to get my hands on some K flex instead.I bought a 40 watt solar panel and a jump pack and a small 400 watt inverter for my low power stuff like computers, phones, radar detector. They have a small 500 watt A/C unit Haier I think so you could run off your battery and an 1000 watt inverter. The 1000 watts would leave room for your misc gear. As far as insulating the cab. The metalized bubble wrap insulation could be glued to the underside of the cab then either styrafoam could be cut to fit (use silicone to glue together) or you could buy K flex insulation(about 2-3" thick black foam rubber really great stuff) it would insulate great and deaden sound
