Transfer it all, even the tent too. Keep everything at least the first year with your new camper. You'll be surprised how much of the "old stuff" you will use with the new camper ... including outside camp stoves if you have one. And bring the old tent along. It makes a great outside extra room for storing stuff after setting up the camper. And if the mother-in-law ever comes along ... she has her own bedroom! :)
We have a hybrid and want to know if we need get some sleeping bags as they are lighter and will dry faster if they get wet over a comforter. Moisture will get every where just need to make it not as bad.
I don't think you'll have that problem with a trailer, even a hybrid. You're going to be much, much drier than in a tent. Consider using sheets and blankets, and at best, a sleeping bag that can open up and become a blanket. When we moved from our tent, we kept our sleeping bags. We found, even in our pop-up, they were just so hot, we started using blankets. Never went back to sleeping bags. By the time we got our first trailer, we'd already given those sleeping bags away. ... Consider blankets and sheets, just like in your house.
And by the way ... electric blankets are absolutely wonderful!
