Fabrication of the aluminum wrap panels is the easy part. The problem is that I haven't figured out how to attach the wrap to the outside easily. When the top is popped, the top of the tent is pretty high. I'm not sure if I want to climb up on the roof and then jump off it in the rain/snow. Seems kind of a pain in the rear to do this if it is raining at night. If you can get the instructions on how to install this, it would be awesome. 219 Euro is not too bad if the system is easy to set up. Even better, if you can close the top with that siding on, it would be great. However, I think that is unlikely.

I'm thinking of cutting foil bubblewrap into pieces that I can put inside the tent. Perhaps there is better heat reflection of the bubblewrap this way? Who is Robin? Are you getting the insulated layer yourself?

Send me more info! :-)
