Fleetwood Neon

THe hard side sounds sweet Ram, You got pics of it posted anywhere yet?

[Dave]

Nice little neon. The reflectix will help keep in the warmth on the bunk and the windows. You may also want to look into the popup gizmo...it goes over the slide out top. Helps to keep it warm or cool , depending on the situation. You can actually make your own out of a sportsmans emergency blanket. Not one of the thin foil ones, but the thick sportsmans one.
Plus if you have the ability to use land power you can use a ceramic heater to take the chill off.
We're still waiting to take our new to us 91 rockwood hard side out.

You've been peeking into my Cabela's bag! I picked up a sportsman's blanket this week and plan on giving it a try on the roof of the bunk.

Nice trailer! I've been looking at these,, out here they sell in the mid 3k range, but the heater is extra. The salesperson I talked to suggested along with the heater was getting a heated bed from I think it was rockwood popup? their beds have an electric blanket built in..
Good luck and take more pics!

Sorry Dave, don't mean to hijack your thread

We had a chance to test out the changes I made to the camper and I can say they definitely helped. As I said earlier, I swapped in a digital thermostat, added a layer of Reflectix insulation under the mattress, and used a Sportsman blanket with the shiny side down over the roof of the bunk.

On Friday night, the temps dropped just below freezing. We set the thermostat on 60 and stayed comfortable all night. The digital thermostat was much better at regulating the temperature and we did not notice the drastic swings in temps that we did last weekend. There was also noticeable less cold air coming in from under the mattress...plus we had pillows this time.

On Saturday, I made some Reflectix cutouts to put in the windows of the bunk. The outside temps did not get as low as Friday night, but we kept the thermostat at 60. I can definitely say we noticed a difference with the cutouts in the windows. There were a couple times when I thought I was going to have to get up to kick down the thermostat.

$40 for a big roll, I'd say this Reflectix stuff is worth it and the $20 digital thermostat was also worth it.

No more outings planned until May.

Sounds like a good shake-down outing. I need to make the inserts for mine , too. Plus I am going to try some of the 1/8" insulation board under the bunk ends.
And I think I
ll have to look into the digital thermostate too...sounds like a good mod.....

I had posted a message about Fleetwood trailers, and that i was looking into the Evolution series for my growing family.
What do you guys think of the quality of the Fleetwood compared to other pop-ups?

Adam Blaster,Have you looked over on RV.net in the Folding Trailer forum ? There are a few people with them.
