I live in a "mobile home" in NYS. With zero degrees outside, I've got
icicles hanging down the sides of my trailer. Lost heat.

The roof domes up a little bit, in the center. Hmm. Airspace? Is it

possible
to get a DIY cellulose blower, and pump in a couple bags of fluff to
insulate the roof?

I did a google search, but coulnd't find anything on the matter.


You can rent the blower at Big Box when you get the cellulose.

On one small job we used an electric leaf blower!
Hand-fed the stuff right into the blower impeller!
Worked great.

In a mobile, generally not enough air space to matter, and could cause more
problems than it solves, by trapping condensed moisture that now dries out
or has a place to drain. I'd recommend one of the double-roof systems,
where they glue foam to outside skin, and cover with preformed panels. Not
pretty, admittedly, but gives a much better R value.
