Pop Up Soft Side Campers in the Winter
Could anyone who has owned one of these tell me how well they stay warm in the wintertime.

Now, I don't want to be camping in my Palomino Backpack I(which has Filon sides btw) and about 2 feet of tent above it, in 2 feet of snow because I usually motel it in the winter anyway, but I've cold weather camped in it (last fall / early winter with no issues at all. I did run through some propane (it has 2 tanks) and I dry camped because I wasn't about to deal with frozen pipes but other than a heat on the cooktop PTA bath in the evening, it was pretty comfortable.
Not a motel by a long shot, but I want to stay on my property up north to 'commune with nature'....lol
My opinion is, cold weather camping in a pop up has some limitations and certainly brings out your 'pioneering skills', but it's very doable.
If I'm not out west hunting this fall and early winter, I'll be camping again in Northern Michigan in my popup.
I don't need any 'admiration' from anyone. I just go do it and I'm pushing 70 so I'm no spring chicken.
If you use your head for something other than spacing your ears apart and exercise some common sense (a rare commodity today), colder weather camping is very doable in a pop up truck camper or even a pop up pull behind tent camper.
Many decades ago, when I was an Eagle Scout, I slept many a night on the ground in my tent in the middle of nowhere in snow storms and never gave it a thought because I was always prepared (like a good scout) and like a still good scout, I'm prepared now too.
