Roamer Insulated / XL Wide

It’s all about the mattress. Get a Nemo roamer xl sleeping pad and put a fitted sheet on it, and bring blankets and pillow from home.

Nah an air mattress is not the same sorry. This Nemo roamer and the megamat feels like your on foam, it’s so comfortable.

All through the summer I slept on my Nemo roamer XL wide on a cot out on the back porch because it was hot in the house and I like looking at the stars. It really is that comfortable.

Nemo Roamer wide sleeping pad. Camping is so much better with a comfy sleeping pad.

It's huge. I prefer using two Nemo Roamer XL singles (or one double if you are dead set on that format) buttoned together for the space savings and flexibility. They really are just as comfortable as the Expeds, high R value, tough, and come with a lifetime warranty. (For backpacking the bright green Expeds are my favorite.) Edit: Just noticed you posted the medium. The one I suggested is much larger. Yours should be great for what you want!

I just think $400 per item is a solid budget for really nice, comfy, quality stuff and people are recommending you essentially raid the camping aisle at Walmart. I’d check out Big Agnes Spicer 4 or 6 for a tent. I love the 6 but it can be a little large depending on where you’re putting it. I’d check out Hest for sleeping pads. That’s what I’d have if they were in my budget. So comfortable! I also love the Nemo roamer XL and some exped pads too. I’d stay away from air mattresses (cold, bulky, less comfortable) and backpacking pads (thinner, sometimes noisier, less comfy) too. For sleeping bags I’d consider going back to big Agnes. I don’t think you need to spend the $400 per item here since it’s just car camping but I honestly love my big Agnes echo park sleeping bag and use it a ton car camping. I can’t stand mummy bags so that’s a backpacking only thing for me. North face makes some other good options and so does Kelty in terms of car camping. I’d probably recommend a cotton liner so it’s really easy to take out and wash. These can be bought seperate from the sleeping bag. If I had a $400 budget to cook I’d totally get some sort of nice flat grill, probably a blackstone. Something that disassembles well and fits in the car would be sweet. I’ve also seen a couple of recommendations for jackery and that’s another good example of a budget brand where you probably don’t need to be buying the budget brand. Anker is far superior in quality and there are plenty of batter options in your budget. I’ve had TONS of camp chairs and really can’t find a better chair than the Kelty lowdown. Kelty isn’t necessarily known for their quality but they’ve got chairs figured out. I’ve had good luck with quite a few lanterns so it might be worth shopping around for features you like, but I liked the black diamond Apollo probably the best of any I’ve had.

I’m obsessed with my Nemo roamer and it’s not “small” by any stretch, but it’s more compact than quite a few options and maybe ideal for you situation

Ditto this answer. We bought Nemo XL wide roamer pads and use them this way with a queen sheet and it's heavenly. Some of the best sleep we've ever had camping.

I have a kid and a second on the way and looking for a solution for all 4 of us can use and snuggle into. This weekend I’m trying out two nemo roamer XL pads that interlock, but I am seriously considering returning them and doing two exped mega mats.
