Traveling with a camper trailer or RV can cut down on travel costs and increase the adventure of the open road. Driving with a few mattresses installed in the back, your family can experience different sights during the day without spending money on hotels at night. To be sure everyone in your camper wakes refreshed and ready for the adventure ahead, follow the below recommendations.  

How to Improve Your Sleep in RVs & Camper Trailers

1. Find the Right Mattress

The mattress made for your bed at home is often more comfortable than the models that come in camper trailers and RVs. The hard bed frame under the thin foam cushioning could lead to sleepless nights. Try replacing the stock mattress, so you don’t wake up with aches and pains. With custom-fitted beds, you can be sure the firm, soft, pillow-top, or memory foam mattress you need is appropriately sized for the sleeping space in your camper or RV. 

2. Install Blackout Curtains

Depending on when and where you park to rest, sunlight peering in through windows or the harsh glare of campground security lights and passing car headlights could make it difficult to sleep. Creating a calm atmosphere helps your brain relax and allows sleep comes easier. Place blackout curtains on windows for a darker, more private space and be sure to close them before you lie down. 

3. Check the Air Conditioning Unit

Running an inefficient AC unit can drain your RV battery faster. Additionally, when the system can’t circulate air, it can get too muggy to sleep. If you’re having trouble regulating temperature, have a professional inspect the mechanical and electrical components of your heating and cooling systems. If you sleep with the power off, keep windows open a crack to let the cool night air filter inside.
