Insulating the ramp door

Hello,

I'm writing tonight while camping in sub zero temps with our Desert Fox Toy Hauler. We dry camp 95% of the time.

The front of the camper stays quite warm.
Right now, im laying in the back, right up against the ramp door. It is absolutely freezing back here.

Has anyone come up with any crafty solutions for insulating the rear ramp door?

Thanks in advance!

A couple options come to mind, one would be some reflectex bubble insulation. Easy to roll up and easy to Velcro up and hang. Another option would be foam squares that interlock, they work really well on the floor to add insulation, again Velcro them on the ramp. Most cumbersome but probably the best insulation would be a couple sheets of styrofoam insulation with aluminum faced backing. Hard to store though. A couple of cheap Wally World sleeping bags hung up would probably even help a lot.

Anything would help. A thick moving blanket backed by mylar faced bubble insulation. What ever you use space it an inch away from the ramp surface. The added airspace is an insulating layer also.
