I'm going to be replacing the drywall & insulation in my bathroom due to a leaky window. This is a 1984 Redmond doublewide. I need to know what size drywall I should get & what R-value insulation I should get. Thanks! :)

If you are doing the entire wall you can use any thickness, If you are only changing 1 panel you would need to match the thickness. Also in a bathroom you will want to use either green water resistant or the new golddens drywall .

For insulation, use whatever fits the wall, 4",6" etc. it does not give any added R value to pack it in to the wall space. Greg
