With winter around the corner, I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with trying an insulated thermal pack to keep the camper, and particularly the bed area warmer?
I made a DIY thermal pack a number of years ago using the same material as FWC and it has worked well, but as we spend more and more time out during the shoulder and winter season, I am wondering if I could do better with a thermal pack with actual insulation? Something like Warm Window Fabric or some other type of insulated fabric?
I am sure this is a little bit of a lost cause given how poorly insulated the rest of the camper is, but I do notice that with sleeping E-W, the furtherest forward sleeping spot is noticeably colder than the rest of the camper, and as a result this is where much of the condensation forms. If that area were warmer we could easily drop the thermostat a few more degrees over night.
I am also wondering if anyone has done anything to insulate behind the lift panels, or maybe even the lift panels themselves? It would also seem much brighter if the panels weren't black, so maybe there is some sort of stick on foam that would insulate and brighten the lift panels?
Eager to hear about anyone else's success or failure in trying this!
