No advice, but wow - that’s a beautiful trailer !!

Oh man! That totally stinks. We have a camper with a very similar floor plan (Jayco--the bathroom and the bunks are flip flopped from yours). Some differences/things that help us:

1) Those are some gorgeous windows, I can see why she wants to look out them! Is the curtain you tried a black-out curtain?
2) We have the same sound machine in the camper that we do at home (sounds like you have that covered).
3) Glow sticks (or I found a more eco-friendly battery operated "glow stick"/flashlight hybrid)--DD enjoys it, but who knows, it might make your situation worse, more to fiddle with.
4) Baby dolls from home.
5) Is she going to bed too late? Sounds like you've experimented with that too.
6) What does wind down time look like? We shower, jammas, Daniel Tiger, snack then bed. I hate that we're watching a show while camping but if it helps our sanity and her go to bed quicker...whatever.
7) What about an audio book? DD listened to Mercy Watson while falling asleep tonight.
8) Have you tried crawling in the bunk with her? We sometimes resort to that, as much as I prefer not to.
9) Which direction does she lay? DD lays with her head in first, feet by the edge. Would drive me nuts but she loves her little cave. I wonder if hanging a curtain on the outer edge (with command hooks) would be at all helpful to make her a little cubby/cave.

Sorry for the novel. Much you've already tried. This is exactly how DD acts while at hotels, which is exactly why we bought a camper so the novelty of the new place was not there. Gosh I hope something works soon for you!

wow awesome camper! sorry to hear about the sleeping - you got some good suggestions above... this makes me a little nervous, we're renting a 30ft RV for the first time in a few weeks and I hope my boys do OK sleeping in it!!!

my kids just plain won't go to sleep until well after dark when we're camping. it's useless for us to try. so we just put them in jammies, stay up way late and then all go to bed at the same time. so there is nothing else to do but sleep and then the kids don't feel like they're missing out.
