We noticed that with the furnace as well. My solution was to buy a regular floor vent that can be closed. The problem is the furnace is 2' from that vent but 20' from the bedroom vent, and I seriously doubt they actually have HVAC techs designing their ducting. The same is true for the ducted air conditioning.
I considered replacing the window in the front door with clear glass instead of frosted for the reason you mention: no view to the campsite. Has anyone ever attempted that? What kind of material would you suggest? I've worked with Lexan, but I think it would be too easily damaged and end up looking terrible in a short period of time.
We used double sides tape velcro strips and affixed that to the skylight, and the other side to some blackout material, and velcro it up at night. They don't yet make a friction fit pillow for the skylights, so this works quite well and blocks about 95% of the light coming in there. The regular roof vents we have those friction fit insulating pillows you stuff up there that work well. I, too, like to sleep in while camping!
Agreed: this is a lot of camper at the price point, and all in all I'd recommend it (even with the issues I've had)
Thanks for those suggestions! And I can't help on window materials for the front door, sorry. I would just have to take it to dealer and pay them to put in whatever clear material they would suggest / is used in other camper doors.
