All woods accept the stain differently and some may need a few staining's to get close to the color you want. We would also find that your clear coat will also make the appearance change a bit as well as lighting and what you hold it next to. I used to install cabinets and a customer complained a pantry was not the same as the rest of her cabinets. We replaced doors . . . in the end she had a different wall color next to the wood and it did change the appearance. If you removed the door and held it against the other cabinets you could see it was the same. My point is look at the color in the camper next to the ones you have and you may be pleasantly surprised. The species of woods and the use of sanding sealer or not also make a difference. You experimenting is on the right path.
