Your nuts. 30* with like a 30mph wind makes it like 5* outside. Couldn't even sit outside and enjoy a cold beer cause you were shivering so much. No thanks. I'll take the 103* and 99% humidity any day of the week. At least at night time I don't have to huddle 6" from a fire to stay warm. 
We had some guys TRY to sleep in their trucks that night and a very brisk Norther came thru. They didn't make it.
It wasn't that cold during the day. Pretty nice actually!

Not going to say it was toasty and comfortable in the bed, but I survived. I've slept in worse weather.

I know Rowland and Rob didn't make it thru the night.
They drove home at some point. I didn't remember if you stayed or how you worked out the temps and wind.And I remember "Romario" (I think that is his name) letting his truck run all night for heat..but he was coming into the camper at like 6am waking everybody up.

I can't promise you a couch. We generally let the, uhhhh..hmmm....ummm...more "Mature" guys with older bones claim those (ie. Charlie, Rowland).
But there is usually some space on the floor. Just bring a sleeping bag and maybe a mat. At least the space will be air conditioned (or heated) as needed for comfort.

Boy that middle pic sure shows the need for Traction Bars to help with spring wrap! If I decide to pull this time...at least my rear tire won't be 1/2'' from the front part of the fender.
