Abstract
An improved insulation system for vehicles and method of making and using the same are disclosed. The insulation system comprises one or more layers of insulative material sealed within a case which is impermeable to liquids while being at least in part moisture vapor permeable. When installed within a sealed vehicle where moisture vapor build-up is a problem, the insulation of the present invention serves to isolate condensed moisture from causing damage to the vehicle's contents or its shell. When moisture levels decrease within the vehicle, moisture is free to evaporate from the insulation and dissipate from the vehicle, thus reducing the vehicle's weight and the costs inherent in excessive moisture retention within a vehicle.
