    its the same at times as sleeping outdoors...cant get one thats too warm. but if you are talking about your OWN truck...sheets,comforter, and a couple fleece blankets gives more options, ends up being a better idea imo. i gave the sleeping bag to my son the day i got out of trainer's truck into my own, and havent used one since.

    Mine was something like 20 - 40. If it got below 20, I left the truck on in order to prevent fuel gelling, and also because we used 15W40 oil.

    same as poker.
    sheets, comforter and my fleece blankies.:biggrin_2559:. easy to wash. have 2 sets of fitted sheets, which are over size by a bit, but work well.

    But, I also idle if it gets too cold or hot.
