Insulating the poptop on my front hinged westy pics.

Nicely done

 

nice one, i've not used mine since fitting the new canvas but it will make itss way back in for the rest of the year now the temps are dropping.

 

What about condensation? Getting all sweaty up there.

 

there is no condensation, it's not like it sits tight to the canvas, it makes a difference for sure, the only "slight" problem is in the rain the noise of the water hitting the plastic compared to the canvas.

 

I like these. I tried out the thermal window mats at the weekend and I reckon they work well so now i'm thinking about the DIY canvas cover. Am I right in thinking it is a one piece wrapped around ? Whats the tape needed for and how do you keep it fixed on ? Pressume it just pulls tight at the back with rope/string/bungy ? How do you stop it pulling through ?

 

the bubble wrap is only about 2ft wide you need 3 or 4 foot so you have to make it wider especially on the rear hinged one, all i do to fasten is cable tie the thinner end together through a hole i put in each end.

 

I've been considering doing this too, but I think I'm going to need about twice as much bubblewrap!

 

Gotcha. Thought it was one piece.

 

the downsides of an inferior conversion unfortunately.

 

and not just on the roof eh tiny?
