I want to winter camp in ski resort parking lots and trailer parks near ski resorts. Are there any other hard wall pop up manufacturers other than Alaskan?

most on is list seem surprised at how long the propane lasts, I was. have been as cold as 9 ok, winterize but the hard side would be better.

Check out the "arctic pack" which is an insulation layer for the soft wall. I hear it insulates really well.
Once had 2007 Tundra TRD 4x4 5.7 SR5 w/ Firestone bags, Bilstein 5100s in front, Total Chaos shackles rear, 275/70/18 E rated Michelin LTX AT2

Well I probably wouldn't smear poop on the walls for insulation 
A long time ago someone here posted that they use thermarest pads as insulation for the soft walls. Apparently they fit almost perfectly, provide more insulation, and are far less expensive than the arctic pack.

The Therma rest is a great idea and I might use them in addition to getting an arctic pack. I am hoping to be in a position to buy an FWC in about 6 months from now.

I have two thermarests that I usually carry. If cold one can go over the side windows and the other goes across the front sliding window. If rebuilding a camper it would seem that a weather barrier like Tyvek might make sense?? Don't think they doing anysuch thing at FWC, any reason why it wouldn't help?
