They use the silver or aluminium coloured bubble pack material used for home insulation of water heaters and other such places. The material comes in 48" wide rolls, single bubble layer or double layer, one reflective side or two reflective sides. I think the most common practice among these folks is to use the single layer bubble, reflective one side material. The material is cut to fit the canvass area and held in place at the rear with a bungie cord. See the plans for cutting the material at >> <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/fkc43/graphics/vanagon/misc/insulation.jpg">Westy poptop insulation jpg</A>. When the insulation material is not in use it is rolled up and stored behind the front upper bed mattress. The "Partie arriere" is the rear part which is just placed at the rear of the poptop canvass loose and held there by the bungie cord which is attached to the two "Oeillets" (metal grommets) in the ends of the big piece.
