Insulated FlipPac Cover/Fly?

[getout]

We just got a FlipPac and used it over our "Spring" Break week which turned out to be cold and windy. I've decided one of the first things I need to do is build out the truck bed with some insulation but was thinking about a way to insulate the FlipPac tent itself.

Anyone ever thought about an insulated FlipPac fly or have any ideas as to how to do it? I'm not making anything soon but just wondering.

I really like these pop ups but it's the idea that I would be staying in a tent that bothers me. Now Ihave been in a tent at 40 Below and lower, but that diesel heater really worked and it really burned fuel! Realistically, I'll never be in that kind of weather again, I hope, but I would like to go say when it could easily be in the 20s, maybe dip lower on one night, November, December, January in the midwest.

I was wonder if blue board cut to size could be used inside. I also wondered about using several how water heater covers, insulation covered in plastic sheets and then snadwich that in a tent material with some snaps and roll it up and carry inside. If you really need windows, you could put in some heavy leaxan or clear plastic I guess....Don't know!

I also wondered why you couldn't build solid panels and fit them in and carry them on top.

If this were feasible, I would reconsider the popups. Hope to hear the feedback of those who use them.

I have taken 2 old sleeping bags and threw them over the flippac and then put the rainfly on and it made a huge difference. Open the front and rear windows just a touch where the rain fly vents are and you get very little condensation.

I was wondering if either a thick fleece would work or maybe bubble wrap?
