OK so I didn't realize that Vevor sells a "non-insulated" and "insulated" version of these tents! I first ordered a non-insulated version that is much bigger and cheaper but has no stove jack and is colder.
So that bigger version that is 90 inches square will be the protective cover for the insulated version.
Clearly having a stove jack and three layers of fabric with cotton insulation is the way to go to stay warm in the winter. But these tents can not handle any snow load - so hence the 2nd tent to protect the first one. Also they are not water proof despite saying so.
So this tent that is insulated will fit on my camping trailer wheel pallet floor while the bigger protection tent will fit around the pallet. Let's see what the height difference is. 78 inches tall on the pallet. It's the same height as the 90 inch tent - so this one will then go snug around the pallet frame - I can tuck it under the pallets since it is wider than the wheels-pallets (85" x 87")
a three-layer PU waterproof rubber coating and 300D high-density Oxford fabric to protect you from harsh weather during ice fishing.
So even though this tent is not insulated it has a stronger rubber coating on the top. I can then add the silicone boot for the stove jack through the 2nd tent.
Now as per code if you leave a tent up for more than six months it then becomes a structure and not a shelter. But since I have constructed a "camper trailer" on wheels then it keeps it as a shelter by definition of an RV shelter (the RV definition includes the trailer on wheels as a camper trailer).
So I just have to move it every six months on the wheels and then I can leave the tent set up for year round composting use!!

We advise using a double walled stove pipe, or some other kind of insulation, installing the jack far enough away from the stove, using a stove with a baffle plate so the flames don't shoot straight up the stove pipe, ...
OK so I ordered these fishbone tent stakes that will attach to the ends of the pallets by sliding in between the wood.
