No insulation covering skylights or windows. These go all around the inside of the canvas.

I do have what they use to call an Arctic Pack which is slide in reflective panels like you put inside your windshield on hot days. I rarely use the furnace as I don't like the cycling on and off. Usually it's on medium and keeps it in the low 60's inside. Temps at night typically in single digits to teens through the winter. If we were to do actual winter camping, we'd get the insulated stuff that goes around the soft walls. Our furnace only kicks on a few times overnight in those conditions. I've only taken mine to the upper teens and we use warm bedding and set the thermostat around 60 at night. I am a little suspicious that the guy equating it to a tent has never actually used one in the cold. We'd keep it closed up all night the pop the vent in the late morning once it starts to warm up a bit outside. We had no condensation issues with 2 huge dogs and 3 people in the camper but we're also in CO where it's awful dry. When we put up reflectix the walls feel warmer than our old eagle cap, although the furnace does cycle slightly more often. Zero degrees and windy and we were able to keep it 67 inside the camper. Seconding outfitter/hallmark being next level insulation. I currently have a Northstar hard side- warmer, quieter, more room.Ģ011 Northstar Laredo, 300w solar, CR110 Built to BoondockĢ0 CTD 4x4 Quad Cab Short Box, Bilsteins, Firestone Ride-Rites, 285/70-17s, AFE 4" cat-back, bixenon HIDs The furnace kept up even below 0F but condensation can be an issue when it's below freezing. Outfitter also has a nicely insulated softwall. I had a Hallmark Milner for several years and their softwall is much better insulated than my buddy's Northstar.

Sold the TC, previous owner of 2 NorthStar pop-ups & 2 Northstar Arrows.still have the truck:Ģ005 Dodge 3500 SRW, Qcab long bed, NV-6500, diesel, 4WD, Helwig, 9000XL, Mornings would involve running the furnace a bit longer before hopping out of the sack.Ī big downside of the pop-ups in winter was that there was more condensation due to the less insulation- any nice days involved airing it out as much as possible and on the days when breaking camp, I would run the fan to air it out while packing away outside chairs, stoves, etc.Ī pop-up can provide for winter camping, but it is not the best in my opinion if you plan on doing it often. The smaller on with less space was easier to keep warm whereas the 1000 took more time to heat up.Įssentially, the furnace was a tool to "take the chill out." When inside, I was usually wearing a sweatshirt over flannel and had good arctic sleeping bags. I camped in winter conditions during hunting season first with a NorthStar T-800 then a NorthStar TS-1000.
