What do you use on nights out, I use a 13.5 tog king size quilt warped round me carnt get on with sleeping bags also never need to have night heater on once in bed
Depends, if its only a night out here and there I use my Sleeping bag (nice wide one bought it from a Truck stop) but if I’m full time tramping then Duvet and sheet without a doubt.
Sheet and duvet
Never been able to get on with a sleeping bag
No question sheet and a quilt for me easier to wash as well oh and a double memory foam matrass is a must too and 3 pillows
Sleeping bag.
When I lived in a lorry I liked 4 wooden carved posts at each corner. And I had my morning coffee on a teasmaid.
Nah, it’s was a rubbish sheet and duvet that had moved in and out of the wagon so many times of a weekend into my vauxhall nova boot, it would’ve been cleaner to sleep on the cat walk. I was a “Das Boot” stylee - smell of diesel and covered in oil all week - type of truck driver. I picked that up off my Dad. If I did it these days I’d be a ■■■■ sight cleaner and lady friendly
A mattress topper in place of a sheet and a quilt for me, it all comes home every time I come back off a trip and gets washed.
I carry a sleeping bag too, but that’s only extra protection for emergencies, it gets pretty cold where I go as you can see from this pic I took yesterday…
Bottom sheet then quilt then me then another quilt.
Order is flexible depending on the temp!

Ditto .
The sleeping bag has to leave in the morning, so i can crack on with a days work
Does anybody else find night heaters are so loud they keep you awake? They sound like a 747 spooling up its engines to me.

Guess you’d better not do fridge work then
Sleeping bag as i only do nights out every so often, probably would have to be duvet etc if i was a 4-5 night a week tramper.
Never done tramping, but on the occasional night out I use a double duvet folded in half so bottom half makes the bunk a bit softer. I don’t hear the night heater over the fridge, but either way, I find a constant background noise makes it easier to sleep.
On one occasion when I wasn’t expecting a night out I slept under a hi viz and a load of blue roll that we keep in the cab for cleaning. Even managed to make a pillow out of it. It was a crap night.
I am greedy, I have my own truck (not own my own its the companies ) anyway I have two pillows and a quilt and a sleeping bag, the bag is a carp fishing sleeping bag that is huge and not mummy shaped with zips both sides so it can be opened in summer to ultra coolness
Quilt, sleeping bag broke up with me last year…
This time of the year its got to be a thick double duvet, half underneath me & the rest wrapped over the top of me, nice & snug I find night heaters give me a cold by morning so I don’t bother using them.
summer time I use a sleeping bag, though I don’t zip it up , I wriggle about too much & get jammed up in it
Don’t do nights out anymore, too old for that lark but when I did it was as many togs as possible, I like togs!!
Where the hell were you newmercman when you took that pic, don’t think I’d survive -30c
