How to Sleep Better in Your Motorhome: Tips from Full-Time Travellers
If you’ve ever woken up in your motorhome feeling more crumpled than your duvet, you’re not alone. Sleeping well on the road can feel impossible when your bed is too small, the bedding won’t stay put, and the early sunrise wakes you up before you’re ready. We asked full-time travellers and experienced motorhomers for their best sleep-improving tips, so you can get better rest on your next trip.
1️⃣ Level Your Sleeping Spot
It sounds obvious, but many travellers skip checking how level their parking spot is before setting up for the night. Even a slight tilt can lead to rolling, poor circulation, and restless sleep. Use a small spirit level app on your phone and levelling blocks to get your bed as flat as possible.
2️⃣ Block Out Light (and Noise)
Early sunrise? Campsite lights outside your window? Invest in blackout blinds or thermal window covers to keep your sleeping area dark. If you’re a light sleeper, earplugs or a small white noise machine can help block out campsite noise and passing traffic.
3️⃣ Keep Your Motorhome Ventilated
Condensation and stuffy air can lead to poor sleep quality. Crack open a window or roof vent to allow airflow overnight, balancing comfort with security using window locks or fly screens.
4️⃣ Choose the Right Bedding for Your Motorhome
Many motorhome owners struggle with standard duvets and sheets that slide off or bunch up in the night. Full-time travellers recommend using properly fitted motorhome bedding that is designed to stay in place, even as you move in your sleep or when your bed shape is non-standard.
At Tuck Me Under, we specialise in motorhome bedding that fits island, French, and corner beds perfectly, using our patented design that keeps your duvet in place and your sheets snug, so you can sleep comfortably wherever you park.
5️⃣ Stick to a Wind-Down Routine
It’s tempting to stay up late while on holiday, but keeping a simple routine—like reading before bed, dimming the lights, and avoiding screens—can help you fall asleep more easily in your motorhome, just like at home.
