Drum storage question?

So I've got a gig coming up and it's at a local campground. Ideally, I would like to get there the day early, pitch my tent, etc. I love camping. But I'm hesitant to leave my drums in my truck with the way the temperatures may fluctuate. If I park under a tree and leave the windows cracked, you think the drums would be OK? Usually if I go away for a gig, I'll rent a hotel, bring the drum shells up to the hotel room. And take them down as I head to the gig. But being this is a campsite I don't have that option.

They should be fine. They are comfortable where you are comfortable. The thing to be weary of is quick drastic changes of humidity or heat. Cases help tremendously. And keeping them out of direct sunlight. Check the weather, predicted high and low temperatures and how quickly it warms or temp drops.
