Could someone post a side by side comparision of general advantages of each: weight, ease of construction, properties, required planning, cost etc?
Thanks

Dee,
Built up walls take longer to build. Are they worth it? Depends on where and when you camp. If you're camping in the winter, you'll probably want insulated walls and roof. It helps keep heat in and the cold out!
The other reason to consider insulation is condensation. If it's cold outside, and warm inside, condensation can form on the inside walls. Using insulation can minimize or eliminate condensation.
So the question really is, are you a summer camper or a 4 seasons camper?
