Hi Gde,
Thanks for the link.
I've already gone far beyond bubble wrap by having four layer Insul-Bright fabric covers made for the windows, skylights, vents, and side door. The covers are large enough for the metal frames and are held in place by industrial velcro. I also had a "blanket" made of the same material to cut off the cab of my class c from the heated living space. In total I have covered 204 square feet. They are a layer of cloth, a layer of silver Mylar, a layer of batting and some fabric that looks well with the OEM fabric in my rv.
Doing so has dropped the heating requirements from 146 watts down to 76 watts per delta T degree.
Cost including fabric and materials was about $900.00.
I have also ordered magic carpet which is a nanotech based carbon fabric material for 75% of the floor space in the RV. It heats to 40 c (103 f) and produces 85 btu's per square foot. I chose to get the indoor outdoor version which can even be pressure washed to clean it up. I'll be getting about 750 watts of on the floor heating.
