Warning though, even though the camper stayed around 60 the beds were around 50. Expect a 10 degree drop.
Been doing it forever. The pugz and reflectix in the screens keep the heat the same as interior temps. If you have bed heaters its t-shirts and shorts in the middle of January camping. I tent camp to the neg digits, a entirely different ordeal. Toasty in bag, and frozen solid when you need to climb out the bag to pee. Overall enjoyment of backpack hunting trips in brutal conditions doesn't faze us after year 30 doing it.
