I can't afford a rab. I'm also leary of down bags if damp is involved. Down packs up smallest but goes into mush when wet and needs to be kept clean.
If you are using a trailer tent why not go for one of the 5 season fishing bags. More room to move, fleece liners, toasty but weigh about 5 kilos. The best ones have a sleep system where you can zip in or out a layer depending on what season.
Otherwise a good synthetic mummy like the snugpak Antarctica.

Thanks Ewan I'll take a look at fishing bags. Don't think I can stand mummy style in synthetic.
My wife is the same and also feels the cold. The cyprinus bags can be found quite cheap.

Dr Tinkle I have a couple of Rab Ascent bags and although not cheap, they are outstanding. They offer 4 in the range from the 900 down to the 300. I have a 700 for winter use and a 300 for summer and lightweight backpacking.
A 500 with a liner would probably meet your expectations.

We use fitted sheets and duvets in our Camplet, though there's not room for 8 pillows and 2 double duvets when it's folded up so the duvets don't stay packed inside all year round. With sleeping bags you'd be able to store those inside too.
