What was the total cost of the insulation project? I'm curious how economical it will be if I do try it.
Around 150 euros (about 160 USD) for the fabrics and another 50 euros or so for the special buttons to attach the fabric panels to the pop top roof plus about 10 Euros for the bag. So a total of roughly around 200 euros (220 USD) for the material. It took me about 2 or 3 days to plan, adjust, sew and install the fastening in the roof, but I can't count that because it's my free time.
Excellent, thanks for the breakdown. It really helps to have a benchmark for whether it's worth it to do a DIY or buy one ready made. There isn't one specific to my particular tent, as far as I know, but it's similar enough to basically every other clamshell out there that I'm confident I can rig a factory liner to work with my rtt.
