Okay, we have always used a heavy weight quilt to hang on the cab over bed down to the floor of cab for cold weather camping (which we do a lot of). It isolated the living area from the driving area and gave us a smaller area to heat. I got rid of the one we had thinking it would be easy to replace. Well NOPE....they are all thin or want $130 to replace the twin quilt.
I really liked the quilt because we could flip it up on top of bed when we didn't want to use so no storage issue...it was always attached with sewn pocket/thin board between mattress.
What do you use? I spent about 1.5 hours shopping local and found nothing (I also want a darkER color because we have a dog and don't want to be hitting the laundromat too often). Spent 2+ hours online looking for heavy weight comforter/quilt with no results unless I wanted to spend $120 and still no guarantee it would be heavy just pricey.
So tell me what you use? It worked great by the way to make it a smaller area to heat in COLD weather.
"Thin" doesn't matter ... it's can the material used to close off the cab from the coach block air flow?
Our Winnebago Itasca Class C came stock with a thin snap-on cloth curtain that blocks air flow and traps air in the cab just fine.
Air is an excellent insulator so when this curtain traps the air in the cab area, this trapped air prevents warmth from the coach leaching into the cab and out through the cab walls and windows ... while at the same time preventing cold from the cab walls and windows leaching into the coach.
It surprises me that all Class C builders don't include a convenient cab isolation curtain and an attachment method for it. :h
