Its a tarp. Cuts back on weight and cost.

looks great! do ya like camo?

Looks nice, have you camped out in it yet? That's a must to see if it will hold heat. Get the rolls of foil backed insulation and put on the ceiling and inside of walls. It works great and is cheap.

Yes, I do like camo! I will probably try camping out in it sometime since its actually pretty roomy inside. I don't need insulation either since the tarp makes it act like a greenhouse. The sun gets through the window and the heat can't get through the tarp. I was inside of it today when it was 20 degrees outside and it was 30 in.

if the tarp doesnt hold up you can replace it with Chloroplast.It is about $20 for 4x8 sheet but only weighs 4 lbs for the entire sheet. you can get it at Maine Plastic Supply I think is the name of supplier in Portland
