I saw that on the qf4 but still bought the 3. I figured I can just cut a tarp to size and buy the steel rings you can put on tarps yourself and rig up a barrier.
That Silver insulating stuff
How do you guys think the Eskimo Fatfish 949i compares to the Eskimo Quick Fish 4? I know the Quick Fish has the insulated roof but I don't think the Fatfish does. I'm not sure if I'm right or not but any input from people who own either of these would be greatly appreciated.
The Eskimo Fatfish 949i and the Eskimo Quick Fish 4 are both insulated but the only difference I can find is the Quick Fish has an insulated roof where the Fatfish doesn't list the roof as being insulated. What I'd like to know is are they equally as good and does insulation on the roof make much of a difference. At this point if I get one I won't be running a heater in it and at most for now maybe a lantern. The reason I'm asking is the price difference.
You guys that dont have a insulated hub, do you get a lot of water driping from the roof? My flip over did untill I added reflex. Thinking of getting a hub for family. Wife hurts my leg after sitting on my lap a while just kidding honey! I think Insulated is the way to go
That tarp idea doesn't make sense to me.....if the purpose of insulation of the hub is to (1) prevent condensation on the roof & dripping water , and (2) keep it warmer inside, then what would the tarp do?? If it's outside the shelter wouldn't the condensation problem still exist???
Several people said it works well. I guess it would trap some air between the tarp and the roof of the popup creating a bit of air space for insulating purposes. I don't know how a person would anchor the tarp so it didn't blow away or do a lot of flapping in the wind.
