What R-value insulation to use under floor, in Maine

Hi all! I live in Maine and need to replace an area of insulation in the underbelly of our 2004 double wide, the area is about 8'x3'. I need to know what R-value the insulation should be? It looks to be about 7" thick. I cannot find anywhere in the house a chart that lists the R-values. I looked in the fuse box panel and there is a sheet in there where I think it should be listed, but its no. I also looked under the cabinet at the kitchen sink and near the hot water heater. Although rare, it can get as cold as -40F here in Maine.

Hi,

Since I am in the south with mild winters compared to yours, I'll defer this to others.


Post this in the mobile home repair forum, several there live up there in your area.


You can also call Mark at 605-229-2627, he is in South Dakota with similar temps.




Thanks,
Robert
