Here in Alaska, keeping warm (even on cool summer nights) is an issue. I found that a fake feather comforter on the bed did wonders. We also often have our heater going during the night (yes, even in summer) and that seemed a big waste of expensive propane. I bought a small ceramic heater that has a built in thermostat, and we use that at night. Now our furnace never comes on in summer and doesn't work nearly as hard in fall.
Keeping the light out is more of a problem here than being able to see around the campsite in summer. We will never need solar lights or lights on our awning! However, we do like to sleep in a relatively dark room. Since we only want to temporarily darken the room, by husband took an old high density foam sleeping pad and cut it to fit our bedroom windows and overhead vent. We tuck them in (they stay because they are sized slightly larger than the opening) and sleep like babies, then remove them in the morning when we want to see our precious sunlight.
