    I looked around and discovered flannel interiors are back after -I don't know- decades.

    Coleman - Sleeping Bag Pilbara C-3 - Sleeping Bag Pilbara C-3

    Nylon - that swishy noise
    Flannel - snuggy

    Cotton flannel may not last as long as nylon.. no probs, if it lasts 3 years I'd be very happy and buy another.

    Snugpac Sleeping Bags

    I've got two bags I use for work. I've got a Snugpac Softy 12. It's quite old now (19 years) but packs really small. Good in cold weather down to -9*c but I have felt a little chilly on the odd cold night on Salisbury Plain UK. Fine for Australia though. Good points. Warm, packs small, light. Bad points. A bit snug, can feel a bit clostrophobic.
    My second bag is also a Snugpac. I think it's called the Extream. It's not the Softy range but it's a great bag. I've never had a cold night in it. It's well cut so it's a little bigger than the Softy. Good points, Warm, a lot more room. Bad points. Bulky.

    Perhaps I should buy a D4.

    For me, the bad points are good for me.
    I don't care about what size it packs down to. It will be sitting on the inner spring mattress in the camper.

    Can I ask why you don't use a doona in the camper? We have a doona in ours and it's like home from home.

    The recommendation of looking at bogong.com.au is a good one. They sell quality gear and i should know as im a camping gear tragic. Most of my camping gear i use is of the lightweight hiking variety. Great when hiking but also has the added benefit of keeping weight and load space needed down when four wheel driving. Or you can just take more water/fuel/luxuries etc

    For what its worth you may want to look at a duck/goose down sleeping bag. They will be half the weight and size of an equivalent synthetic bag.

    I can 2nd the Mont zodiac bags recommendation , there are 3 models
    Zodiac 350 rated to 5C
    Zodiac 500 rated to 0C
    Zodiac 750 rated to -5C

    I have a 500 model and have used it to -5C sleeping out in the open just on a stretcher.
    They have continuous baffles so you can shift down from the top layer to underneath you if its too hot or from underneath to the top layer to make it warmer. In doing so enables you to use the bag in a wider range temperatures
