I don't know about the others Liz, but we only have a KA. Just take lots of fleece blankets in a compression sack.

I can get everything in our car and Matt can still see out of the back window, just takes planning.

Hi

Going to buy diablo 900 this weekend!  Looking forward to test trip soon, was having nighmares about how to fit it in the car.  Even bigger nightmares now, I thought sleeping bags and blow up beds would do us all but I dread being cold.  WHere will it all go?

A Thermarest, pillow, a good sleeping bag with liner and a just a pair of lightweight pj's do me whatever the time of year.

Much the same here, although I dont bother with the liner, no need.

I rarely take a pillow even, just use a fleece, or at take an empty pillow case and stuff it with some of your clothes.

It continues to amaze me the amount of gear people take and think they need to stay warm, when all it takes is the right sleeping bag and a mat to sleep on, thats it.

To be honest I only use the liner to keep my sleeping bag clean, it's plenty warm enough without. I got in it my bag at Easter on the chilliest night and had to unzip at 4am - I was boiling. Used it like a duvet the rest of the time - feet in the end and very cosy.

We put the pillows in a stuff sack, so they don't take up much room when packed.
