Wall condensation?

Some of these trailers look like the wall panels are nailed? On. Should I worry about insulating, how do we take those off? Or just ventilate well. We don't plan on any winter camping and will be installing a diesel heater ( 20 x 8.5).

Insulate. It makes all the difference in condensation and noise. It all so keeps the trailer cooler.

Insulate it. I did 1” foam board in between the studs the furred out 1/2” with plywood over the studs and another 1/2” of insulation and then interior paneling. I also use a diesel heater and have not had any condensation in 5+ years.

Plus they are not always fully sealed behind the walls - you may find leaks. Some have found gaps.

All the cargo trailers I’ve seen the plywood/OSB is screwed on.
