I was wondering....Does the material on the bunk ends block light. In
regular tents the sunlight comes right through the material.

It doesn't black it out if that's what your asking. Kinda like a room
darkening shade if you will.

My '98 Coleman Sea Pine has Sunbrella on the bunk ends. The roof sections
blocks light completely, but the side wall material allows some light to
pass through, which IMHO is a pain at night.

The new Fleetwoods that we saw use the same material on the sidewalls as the
roof sections on the bunk ends and are much better at blocking out light at
night than mine. Probably have a little better insulation value as well.

Another option would be to use a personal slumber blindfold. There are
blindfolds, and then there are 'blindfolds.' Sometimes, I just throw a
sort-of-rolled-up dish towel (clean one, of course) over my eyes. Not
to mention, it could be a good thing to have some degree of ambient
night/dawn/morning light. But then, this is a very subjective topic and
there are too many variables. Ultimately, it's all a matter of personal
preference.
