The foil and foam backed stuff doesn't collect moisture, so it's just like having a heat reflective panel, it's worked so far and was cheap to. I don't intend to sleep in the pop top so if it's cold it stays down to stop losing the heat through the canvas

As all the above, insulation not really required given the amount of holes/gaps etc. Sound proofing while driving is a yes though. But also as above you dont need to do the whole panel as its just to stop vibration. I read this page or two and it made perfect sense and wont weigh
your bus down.
When you say you don't have to do the whole panel, do you just mean to criss cross is enough? (like a union jack)
