I would think the insulation is as good or better than the typical.
How do you figure they don't have as much insulation? - downtheroadExplorerArctic Fox is putting a nice front cap on their newer models...
They also have applied or sprayed a protective on the lower half....something very similar to the LineX bed liner material...
This isn't our trailer or model, but we have the same front cap on ours. - camp-n-familyExplorerNo real benefit other than it's easier to shape for esthetics and aerodynamics. Nothing but air between it and the inside wall.

Jerry - coolbreeze01ExplorerSure looks better than the pressed cardboard Filon stuff that too many have.
Done properly, the FG should hold up better.
