Our camp has a mad man detail-ist onboard. Here's the rough village lay out map that has the direction of the prevailing winds and sunrise/set. If you compare where we are at Earth & 6:30 to where your camp is then you can kinda get sense for the right direction. Keep in mind the sunrise direction if you're a late nighter. The way my RV will be placed (another awesome map, btw) it looks like we'll be sleeping in the front bed of the RV due to the sunrise hitting the back of it.

(It's almost 700K so it may not be suitable for dialup.)

I take no credit for this the map or data but I know the man who did it is very precise in his planning.

Hope this helps and remember, Safety Third!

entrance door facing northish. winds are usually from the south. shade east side windows unless you like to wake up early and be hot.
