That's a good point, thx.
A crawlspace is above the frost line though, and the surface soil temp differences may only occur when it's hot outside.
You probably are right.

I know that is very true about basements from experience. A friend had water literally dripping from the joists and walls in his cold basement which was open to the hallway/garage upstairs.
-He put batt insulation up under the floorboards and it was rotten within a year.
-In those situations, I had heard it was best to insulate the walls and rim joist and circulate air to make it part of the "warm zone".
