Try a product called Reflectix. I'm living in Alberta, Canada & it's freezing here. Not like the pussy Tenessee/Southern US freezing (you'd all perish here). My whole bus is fitted with this product which is amazing as its totally flexible, never rots and can be cut & made into any shape with simple sissors. Product is available at any Home Depot (yukkk)
