Cold draft from cab

Does anyone have any ideas on how to keep the cold air from the cab area from entering the living area.

we use a large heavy quilt on our class C tuck the top under the mattress, works like a charm. Also cut bubble foil insulation to fit the side windows and windshield a lot warmer and cooler in summer

We purchased some insulated window screens that keep out both heat and cold. Also, there is a curtain that came with our Melbourne 24L that attaches with Velcro around the cab area. Both of those have done wonders helping us control the temperature inside the living area of our MH.

Your vehicle should have come with a privacy curtain. But it's pretty thin. And uses Velcro to hold it up.

Like che57vy said, a nice thick blanket or quilt draped over the over-cab bunk and down to the floor does the trick.

We do this @ night to keep the cold out or in, depending on the weather outside.

If your not using the top bunk I pull the curtains across that opening also helps a bunch, I have also taken pipe insulation the type that snaps around a pipe, looks like a pool noodle and tuck around the slide out between it and the floor and lot of cold air sneaks under that slide

Times 2 on the large quilt. We use a Harbor Freight furniture blanket, while Jan works on a quilt, specifically designed for the location. We use a bar hung across the opening between coat racks. We got the coat racks at Bed Bath and Beyond and installed on each bulkhead, between the cab and the cabin of our Seneca. The bar and the quilt lives on the over cab berth, when we are going down the road. It is held in place by tucking under the over bunk cushions. Works great for both heat and cold, along with privacy. In very moderate temps, we use the light cloth cover provided with our Seneca.
