Tub Liner/Insulation

If you've ever been out ice fishing in a flip shelter and it's really cold out, you'll know the tub can frost up pretty bad even if the shelter itself is toasty warm. A mat in the bottom can go a long way towards reducing that. It also helps retain heat in the shelter the same way foam tiles help when laid on the ice. Canadian Tire stocks this foam mat which was a perfect drop in for my Otter Resort, and also fit nicely in the Eskape with a bit of trimming. I'll get to the other accessories in a bit, but you can see in these pictures how the accessories on the ends hold the mat in place. The trimmed bolts from the runners also act like little nibs on floormats, which is why you want to trim them down with a grinder. I can barely feel the ones in mine under the mat now.
