Sometimes we arrive at our RV campsite several hours later than we meant to. Although it’s never ideal, this means that you need to set up camp in the dark.
Obviously, you should do everything you can to arrive at your chosen campground/RV resort before nightfall. But a detour, a vehicle breakdown, or unexpected traffic can throw off your timing.

There’s no reason to take care of every little detail when you’re already tired and grouchy. So if you need advice on setting up an RV campsite in the dark, we’ve got a complete guide for you!
