Eugarps...
It’s not just a sock or house slipper problem even though I characterized it that way.
After using my laser thermometer to examine my truck camper during these extremely cold January days I was able to identify the real problems.
To start with I want to explain what the truck campers “tub” is... it is area that sits between the walls of the pickup trucks bedand below the wings or overhang just above the sides of the truck bed.
Well, the un insulated tub in my camper measured as much as 30 degrees colder than the insulated walls above them. That’s about 20 inches in height of very cold walls that require a lot of energy to heat and not very well at that.
It turns out that when traveling for weeks or months at a time there are some normal activities that are very uncomfortable... like sitting on the commode... all the way up to your knees are in the cold zone.... Another is coming out of the shower.
The inside of the “tub” is about the size of a large refrigerator lying on its back and feels like that we are standing in it.
Socks are nice... I wear them all the time at home where the walls are insulated... but they come up short here.
And so... my need at this point is to insulate the tub and still have plenty of room to load the truck camper between the wheel wells.
Thanks
Chet
