Subject:      A  Inside Pop-Top Insulation
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

Volks,
O.k., A few weeks ago I inquired about "Pop-top Insulation" Most responses
referenced canvas insulation while camping. So I went on with my idea & used
a sheet of 1/4" x 4' x 8' Foamcore. I removed all front P-Top fittings, took
Measurements, cut it for the vent & Trimmed it a bit at the Back. I also
used some Radiant Barrier (don't ask I've had it for a long time) It's
basically like 2 sheets of aluminum foil with something in between that
doesn't transfer the heat. I put it in between the Pop-Top & the Foamcore.
It has not gotten that hot out here yet in So. CAL, But the van stays at
leased 20 degrees F Cooler than it used to be, Pop-Top down parked in the
driveway.(Why do we park in a driveway & drive on a parkway?) Anyway it
works Great & if you are a Photographer or just like to take pictures, it
works great for Bouncing light off of for a nice soft light Effect.

Enjoy,
Greg
