hi all
Thinking about a T25 Westfalia poptop - and wondering (like you do) what's it like camping in winter in one of those beauties, in particular sleeping in the roof? How good an insulator is that fabric in the pop-top?
Thanks for any reminiscences... and btw I've already read the keeping warm suggestions thread

buy a high-top mate! The canvas on the pop-top is neither wind nor rain-proof and bloody freezin' in winter
