After getting the bus home and resting for a day I decided to pick up some insulation for the roof line and the walls to help cut down the Texas heat from radiating into the inside from the exterior. This will of course also help retain the cool or warm air inside the bus when I get a a/c-heater unit mounted on the roof. I have opted to use the solid 1" foam board insulation for a few reasons. The first being it's so easy to work with. The R-value 5 should go along way in making the internal temperature easier to manage in the long run and it is much better at sound control than most the other options. The ceiling in this Amtran body is perforated metal and does already have some insulation in it so this should make for a good cozy setup. With a trip to home Depot and a bit of cash I have 10 sheets to start with. I will need to do a little more measuring and planing on the installation but that will have to wait for tomorrow as it's time to get to work.
