We have found a good way to keep flying bugs (like flies and mosquitoes) out of the camper in the summer, is to simply place a couple citronella candles out. One at each end of the camper, maybe one near the door. They don't have to be lit just set out. The scent alone will keep flying bugs away. So we always carry a few candles (in the little miniature buckets with the metal lids.) They take up so very little space and since they don't have to lit, are safe to use anywhere. Of course, you have to acquire an enjoyment for the citronella smell, but if you use the same candle over and over, the smell dissipates some too, and it not so strong after being left open a couple days. But it's enough to keep bugs out. Just another idea for the OP to help make his camping experience a bit more enjoyable.
