I had a quick look on Peter Gunzl's site and his are 152 Euro plus post so £140 or there abouts to actually get one delivered. Mine was an all round wrap but there are no gaurantee's the ones he sells now are the same.
You could ring him....he does speak pretty good English.
Thats if you are set on one of his.

It just occured to me that this might even be a better option than a thermal wrap:

About the same kind of money but possibly better?

As an owner of a wasser stopper from GW I can tell you from first hand expirence. I don't think that it a good replacement for some kind of insulation wrap as the thread describes. Maybe in addition to a wrap would be a better solution? This company makes an inside the pop top insulation, Getting it inside may keep the van warmer than one on the outside.
