What brands/models of pop-ups are insulated to do well in cooooold temps?
I want to buy a pop-up to put on my 2000 Tundra.
Intended use: road tripping for mountain biking, rafting/kayaking, and skiing during the winter.
I've seen some Hallmarks that say they are insulated. Is this true of all their models- young, and old?
*I'm looking for something pretty basic- queen size bed for me and my honey, outside shower, as light as possible for something like this.
Thanks!!

The secret is that (noisy to some) little propane heater. It's amazing how toasty it can get in the camper when it's 10F outside. You can also insulate things yerself. Check Barko's threads for extensive use of "reflectix" to boost the cold weather capabilities of the FWC.
good luck in yer search!

Just about any of the pop-ups on the market only have an insulation R-value of about 6. It's really not much. Then if you factor in the soft section and that the R-value there might only be around 2, there really is no good pop-up on the market for cold weather. The only exception would be the Alaskan camper. It is fully hard side and has decent (although somewhat outdated) insulation. I had similare desires as you for my Nissan Titan, but could'nt find anything that met my expectations so am building my own (very well insulated) camper to fit my truck. See the thread titled "Someone stop me, oops too late".Yes! the research continues.
