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.

There is a HUGE difference between a Hardside camper with Filon and structure vs a tent in a box. People, get real here. It's not all about a mutual admiration society!
The guy wants the truth.
Seriously? There's a huge difference between a Palamino and an Outfitter/Hallmark. Our outfitter juno 10 has been in single digits with windchils well below zero. We kept it 67 inside, used water and plumbing as we would during the summer. Furnace cycles just slightly more often than it did in our hardside. It's possible to be warm and comfortable in a popup in the winter, just maybe not in a Palamino.
A Palomino works too. Haven't done any below zero stuff, but I'm not adverse to it. One thing I do do is I cut Reflectix bubble-foil-bubble sheets to fit the upper tent area. Works real good at keeping it toasty inside. My plumbing probsably would not be an issue either. It's all inside the heated space. The black and grey dumps might be an issue. I had heated tanks on my Lance and had the dump valves freeze in the winter before.
Actually, the only time my inside head gets used is when the wife is along. I do my 'business' outside. The DW has to have privacy.;)
