The “Wall”....For Those Who Camp in the Cold

This is one of those posts to ignore, if you don’t winter camp. For the select few of us that do....this “may” be of interest.
As we all know the van section of the Motorhome offers near zero insulating value. This area of huge heat losses causes your forced air heat to run more using more propane and “drawing-down” the batteries faster!
It’s merely a “bubble” foil insulation “Wall”,placed between the van cab and the Motorhome living quarters. The “Wall” consists of two sections of “bubble” foil insulation cut to width, and velcro’d together for floor to ceiling height.
The three photos show the separate pieces and the third the two velcro’d together. When placed between the van area and the living area, it should help on those “cold” nights. The only drawback is....when rolled-up oil is rather bulky, taking up space where storage is at a premium. The plus....it weighs nearly nothing!

You have a more effective fix than ours, but here's what we do:

Wool Blanket vertically across the opening between House and Van Nose. Another Blanket horizontally laid on the bunk, then rearward to the Wool Blanket.

Easy, stores easily, and helps a lot. In winter weather, we take the horizontal blanket off, and drape the Wool Blanket over the seat backs, closing the lower part of the cockpit off. Helps quite a bit, cutting cold draft from the cockpit.
