Enjoy the trip. I have an Arroyo and love it, but it's probably 10 years old.

I have an older Marmot Arroyo as well, and it is at best good for 10* WARMER than the rating (30* bag-good to 40*). I have hung onto it. As long as I know what temp it will handle, I'm fine with it.
Marmot back then was notorious for stretching their ratings. My newer Helium is spot on.

Jan where are you going? Sounds kinda cold. Just saw the weather they say that we might get snow Sat.

Have a great and safe time.

I hope he sleeps in some warm clothing.
