I don't know how to translate thermal conductivity to R-value.

Yes if I stock up on baked beans for camping it would take care of my heating needs too.... LOL Just kidding but that's what I am looking for is super insulated. I built a house and super insulated it and was very happy with how comfortable that house was when it was 20 F outside or 110 in the summer. I had to have small vents (1 cubic inch) in each room for fresh air because the house was so tight.
Anyway I travel a lot in RV's for work and pleasure and I know how thin walls and single pane windows don't keep a RV warm unless you keep the heat blasting most of the time. The same with cooling. There is a reason full-time RV's leave Arizona in the summer time. Air conditioners won't keep you cool with those thin walls either. You will cook like a rat in a black box !
Thanks for your input :-)
