Tartan and the others are right, I would just add one small idea. I am too old and arthritic to sleep on a cool ground. I spent less than $100 on an air bed that had its own pump to inflate itself, and I just buy new batteries occasionally. (Never store them with the batteries installed.) Mine is a Queen size, double layer, but a single layer would be just as insulating and possibly leave less bedding to dry each day?) We use a smallish two room tent, (dogs get the other room) and the Queen air bed fits fine. My family teases us about our "Taj Mahal" campsite, but we don't mind as comfort is more important than conformity. You could then use your wonderful thick wool quilt as an extra layer on top if needed...
