There might be a solution to getting the bedroom dark, but the next problem to solve is the noisy neighbors camping next to you with kids, the idling diesel, and barking dogs at the break of dawn. 😞

Our TT came with day/night shades from the factory like these. The "day" shade is a translucent fabric like you mentioned, but there's a also a "night" shade that pulls down from above the day shade, so as you pull down the night shade the day shade collapses into its accordian pleats at the bottom. The night shade is DARK, you can pull those shades at noon and thinks it's 3am from inside the bedroom.

If you're at all even basically skilled at sewing, you can get black-out fabric at JoAnn's or one of the larger fabric stores - also check online - and just hem the edges and use Velcro to attach it to the wall. You may not even need to Velcro the entire edge, maybe just some 1" pieces several inches apart. Same thing will work for the door and in the daytime just take it down. Sticky back Velcro is your BFF for RVs....no damage to the walls, inexpensive and easy to use. If you decide at some point you want to remove it, it comes off pretty easily and any remaining residue is gone with just a bit of Goo Gone. I used it to put up our personal pictures and decorating pieces in our HTT and when time came to sell it, you'd never know anything had been on the walls.
Price-wise, I've never shopped for black-out fabric, but would imagine that black duck cloth would accomplish the same thing or even black fabric-backed vinyl.

If you want something temporary to block out the light which also will keep out the cold and sun too?
I use van sized windshield sun shades. They fix exactly in the windows of an RV and slide right up under the day night shades without having to tape or velcro them.
They come in all kinds of colors and designs so it doesn't look too tacky from the outside like the plain silver ones do. Walmart's carry a good selection of them.
I bought the ones with palm trees on them. I use them to block out the hot summer sun when in Florida. I slip them under the day/night shades on all the windows on the sun side. Works Great!

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
