what have you guys done to keep the fiberglass top windows clear during cold weather? I got a single wall that has proven to be difficult to keep visible with the cold weather lately.

Convert a hair dryer to DC and use it as a defroster.

not very practical to use while driving alone though, Does anyone else have problems with this also? I have no carpet so Im sure that dosent help any, but it is bedlined so Im not sure if that helps at all

get some anti-fog and wipe on the all the windows. It isn't perfect, but it helps.

You could also look for a suburban rear heater or one of cigarette lighter plug-in types like they sell at places like JCWhittney.

Any kind of air circulation will help also, one of those old style 12v fans like you see on the dash boards of big trucks might work.

A coating of liquid dish washer soap works as a anti-fog too.

It's a moisture thing and very difficult to get rid of,
so get creative and let us know what's workin' for ya.

Mount it so as you just flip a switch.

I don't know if something like this would work or not, especially with a 40" minimum length.

Thanks 68, I think a 40X13 section would be enough coverage
