Westend- sounds like you went to some extremes. Apparently my Arctic Fox is pretty well insulated..... that being said, apparently fiberglass insulation is good down to about 35F, and foam is better for temps below. What did you use for your insulation? I'd love to get some foam in the floors in the "basement" but I am not sure I am up for THAT project this late in the fall season.
Are you aware, Low E is used to keep HEAT OUT is of less benefit to warm a space (as it mainly blocks heat from entering). That was my mistake building my house, I didn't know that fact and all my S facing glass is Low E. Where I live, summer warming isn't an issue (if you design your roof line correctly) and winter warming is huge. My bad. I guess in a travel trailer, the Low E would be the best benefit for that glass- a house not so much if it is designed correctly.
I'll check your pics out, as it seems as you and I are on the same page.
