Hi Frank Mike Collum bought one of the 1st ones I put out. They are slightly different in fit and finish, Now, but work Great. I will not Camp without it in Chili weather EVER. I did copy the one on your website but found it to be off a bit in the angles. I may have the proper angles somewhere in my prototype stuff. Pain in the behind to install outside in a snow/ice/rain storm. BUT works. Went to the inside since there was no way I was going to pull that stunt again freezing wet and cold. Inside is the way to go. We do make a Econo Version for you guys that only need a R-4 insulation and not a R-8. I do have to make a batch of R-8 here in the next week. If you want one let me know and I will build it up for you fairly quick so you do not have to wait the full 3-4 week completion time.
