Keeping the cab dry in winter
AZDEL panel walls and double-pane windows in our Minnie Winnie create a warm (or cool) coach, but the heat loss/gain from the cab is a real challenge, especially during a cold northern winter.

I have zipped two winter sleeping bags together to isolate the bunk and the rest of the coach from the cold of the cab.... window reflectors and a lighter curtain are usually sufficient in the summer. Conversely, if you can reduce heat loss into the cold cab, you don't have to deal with the insane frost and wetting on windshield, cab doors and windows.

The sleeping bags keep out the cold but they aren't really air-tight. There's still a bit of heat and humidity lost to the cab, so I also leave the cab windows open a crack in winter, with a little USB fan running on the dash to move some air through, and reduce condensation.

A reasonably airtight divider keeps water and frost off the windshield, makes the coach more comfortable, and saves propane.
