RicoV said:I did this for many years when camped in a spot for more than a few days, it was an inexpensive approach to moderating both hot and cold temperatures. The only issue I ran into was getting the wrap to install in breezy weather. I kept it simple: one continuous roll of reflectix with slit-openings for the vinyl windows, and heavy duty velcro overlapped where the ends meet above the camper door. Did I mention the adverse effect of breezes?

Due to basic inertia that "test" Reflectix is still there. I THINK it helps but it is all very subjective...
Yep. The roof needs a gentle pull to bring it down for clipping but works well.Cpt Davenport said:I like this idea. Does the Reflectix stay the in when you “pop Down”?
That's a great idea. I have a layer of reflectix on the inside of the thermal pack which does help and acts as a little bit of blackout material to keep the light down in morning. I would like to also add a layer on the exterior. Perhaps I can use snaps/buttons the the exterior using any existing screws and snap it on. That might help with wind as well.ckent323 said:As has been observed, it is better to have this insulating layer and vapor barrier on the exterior of the vinyl pop up material as any moisture will tend to condense there rather than on the interior surface of the vinyl pop up siding. It may not eliminate it in all situations however.
