The caravans are hot in summer and very cold in winter. There is not much you can do about it, that's the nature of things and something you have to live with it if you choose to live is in a tin.
I know what I can to keep the temperature at a tolerable level - even an increase of five or ten degrees is a big problem if you wear thermal underwear to bed.
The first thing I did was to tape plastic over the windows and check the seal around the door. Then I replaced the light weight (from material bought at Wal-Mart) was curtains "with curtains of heavy fabric acrylic continue to block drafts and keep heat inside and cold.
My trailer has two ceiling fans, one in the bedroom and one in the bathroom. This is to let the summer heat very well, unfortunately, during the winter months, they leave a lot of heat and cold
I cut two pillows from a piece four inches thick beds of moss. They were cut slightly larger than the space for the openings, so they can be pushed and held in place by friction.
The ceiling of the old emergency room, I cut pieces big enough to hold the cushion on all sides, then carefully folded and glued the form on the pillow, blanket reflective. They are easy to remove, if necessary, and must keep the heat in and cold out there.
Residential doors are poorly insulated and single glass windows, so they are not very energy efficient. I recorded plastic on the windows. I hang a heavy blanket over the door locks in the cold.
I also along the walls inside cabinets, shelves and under my bed with a reflective type insulation. This is the first time I have this kind of equipment and I have not used any guarantee of performance, were the posts I have read positive.
