Underelly alternative
Posted: Mon Aug 29, 2011 7:33 pm
Sorry read as many posts as I could and many get close but none answer why can't I use an alternative to the underbelly design.
Double wide fully wrapped with conventional siding and sitting on a concrete motared block foundation. AC has been moved to the crawl space and it seems that most if not All of the duct work is below belly. in north Ga where yes the dog bowl can freeze over night,but it would take a longer freeze to feeze it in the crawl space. The belly is a huge PIA. This one is original 1982 so it s not new and the cuts may have been properly paired by they don't last forever. We aren't in the house a lot of the time - 2nd home. We got the dead animal back in May and since June we have had it's fleas.
I would really like to cut out the belly and replace it with an alternative. Couldn't I cut out the belly and replace with typical batts or iscyonene spray foam? I could put that split foam wrap with the sticky seal on the supply lines and wrap the drains with that flexible foam wrap (several layers) or 3 1/2 " fibrglass batts and then wrap that to stay in place. Evything with the belly seems to be doomed to failure with the introduction of animals. while I like this house, it is the traditional parts of the mobile home that I don't like. I just feel that it'd I could get rid of this belly some way, I would be a lot happier. Please help me by warning me of the probes that I will encounter so I can figure solutions ahead of time.
