    Absolutely pure craziness to be so uncomfortable for so much money, and have to spend even more, when it probably will never be a great place to spend any long periods of time in. Especially when he has a warm/cool perfectly functioning camper. But, it’s his adventure to explore.

      He sure does… spends money on a RV, just to pay money at other campsites just to complain of the cost, then buys a topper just to redo over… he’s hilarious 😂😂😂 rinse and repeat

    For an additional $2,000, you could have had the company professionally insulated your Moonlander. Now the 2 year warranty is invalid since you did repairs on your own. You might want to get your eye checked for pink eye since it’s highly contagious.

      Man Anthony ahould just bought a truck camper, he would had more space along with other amenities, probably for a few hundred dollars more than what he paid for the truck topper.

    Be careful you don't end up with mould under the bed if it can't breathe. It's like sleeping with a mattress on the floor, after a couple of weeks mould will grow from lack of air

    Hi Anthony! You should look into getting something like the Froli bed system or slats that will allow for air under your mattress. If it sits directly on metal or the styrofoam without air gaps, mold can easily grow.

    If you have aches and pains sleeping on your side, a pillow between you knees really helps. I don’t really know why, but it was the only way I could sleep before I had my hip replaced last year. Now that I’m all healed up, I still do it as I grew used to it. Give it a shot Anthony, you never know.

    Anthony those foam mattress have instructions that tell you they have to sit for a while to open up and pop up. All foam pads have to "air out" to puff up. You cannot stick it under the mattress or that will not happen. It will look "deformed" until it sits out open to the air. Some of them say for 24 hours. Take it out from under the mattress. Hugs from NE Ohio.

    Again-- like I suggested before-- get a Mr Buddy Heater-- get the large one & you can put a grate on top of it & cook on it which will also help heat up the inside while you cook. All my extended camping family have used the Mr Buddy Heaters for many years. Also get a battery operated heating pad or blanket for your bed.

    If you put a sleeping bag on top of your mattress and then tuck a top sheet on that besides and then put a blanket then you should keep warmer but leave the sleeping bag zipped up just roll it out over your mattress

  • @deiadrajackson7645
    @deiadrajackson7645 11 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +2

    Anthony you should buy a piece of 1 inch ply wood to put under the foam, because the foam will start cracking and chipping after awhile, the plywood will keep it rigit

    Don't expect a big change in heat retention with the foam in place. While foam board can be effective insulation in truck toppers (I used it in mine), the thickness you used has very little R-value. 1-1.5" is necessary to really keep the heat in, and even then only if you use it on the ceiling, too--that's where 80% of the heat escapes. But, what you did is better than nothing and if you combine it with a Mr. Heater Buddy (as other commentors suggested) you'll probably be OK.

    Wondering if there are any cheap parking garages you can park in to give you an extra layer of warmth and protection. I’m worried about you as it’s getting colder and colder out there. Def get some flannel sheets, an electric blanket, insulate the ceiling so heat doesn’t escape, and insulate the floor. You’re such a trooper and doing great! Just wanna offer ideas to help you stay warm.

    Hmmm…styrofoam over a time period will begin to break down and break up. Why not use another form of insulation designed for such use? Maybe a custom place would give you some insight on what would be best to use.

    Anthony, if i were you, I'd get one of those tri-folding, foam lounge chairs... The ones that open up into a bed... I'd use it to sleep on the floor... During the day, you can fold it and use it as seating... I'd use the space where you have your bed now for a cooking, eating, and desk area...
    Also, tension rods with heavy fabric that's been cut to size would help if added to the perimeter. You could do velcro strips to hold the fabric against the walls better...
    A shaggy floor rug and a pair of fur-lined crocs that you only wear inside to keep dirt out.
    Might sound complicated, but my vision would look nice if I was there to help 😅

If you were in a city park you could secure the tank to the bumber with a bycycle lock.

    I have a comment and some questions.
    If you get moisture won't it get under the stuff your using for insulation and get wet and possibly mold ?
    If you put it under your bed is it strong enough to hold weight ?
    Why don't you but one of those nice comfortable pads you use on a camping cot ?
    As far as covering the bottom of the bed if it's not to wide use valances instead of curtains ?
    They are short.
    You should maybe get a camping cot.
    I would be afraid of mold honestly.
    It seems you would need some kind of sealer to prevent mold.
