No additional insulation OE, just wall construction.

There is ¾" rigid styrofoam sheet underneath FRP (fiberglass sheet) against the sheetmetal bulkhead in front of the drive axle, and there is 1 ½" of the same sandwiched in the spaces between the inch an a half square tubing frame of the compartment divider walls with FRP on both sides. Same underneath and above. So actually fairly well insulated...

Thanks, that's what I need to know. When I tapped on the back wall it sounded as if there wasn't any insulation in the wall. I'm in the
possess of insulating in front of the wet bay doors. I need to have it so it will stand -10 F and nothing will freeze.

I insulated the wet bay doors.. Cut out engine bay insulation and glued in.. Took a while to make it look neat but it cost nearly nothing and would have to help a bit for the owners in cold climate. If there is any interest I will take a picture and post.

I'm fitting 2 inch Styrofoam in front of the doors. I'm also thinking of spraying urethane foam on the metal back wall after I
lengthen the drain line. It looks like I will have to remove the air bag in front of the drain to get at it.

I just use some of that 4" pink paper-backed house insulation cut to the size of the openings and stuff it in, then close the access doors.  Cheap and effective.

Is this for acoustics or temp control?

I stumbled on this. Could be of interest to all of us in our travels. Yes the site is shut down as an active seller. Take a few minutes skim it for ideas or just delet. Vr Mark

Done.  If for some reason the problem is that you don't see where to attach photos in a reply, try doing "preview" on the reply - that should open the advanced option menu.
