Skylight above shower

I made a skylight cover for my previous trailer.

Camco makes a reflective cover for entry door windows that was the same size as my skylight.

I bought a snap kit and replaced the interior skylight shroud screws with screw in male snaps at the corners and side center.

I put corresponding female snaps at the corners and sides of the Camco reflective door cover.

I took mine out. Hated that thing!

Perhaps the shower is not in a separate room?

We also used the foam method, however my seamstress wife was able to fit our 2" foam with a cover :C Keeps the early morning sunlight out of our bedroom.

See my previous post here:
Skylight cover
Go to my post dated 07/06/10. I described how I built it and show pictures. It blocks the light and heat. It looks a whole lot better than cramming a piece of foam in it or painting it black.

For guys like my skyscraper husband....lol!!! That's where his head fits.

Aftermarket idea

skylight shade

Painted it with White Krylon Plastic paint. Lets in the light, but not the heat. This is painting the outside(top) of the skylight after cleaning it.

The heat from sunlight was terrible during the summer months on ours. I removed the bottom half of the skylight , covered with aluminum foil and put it back. Made it darker, but easier for me to deal with than the heat.

I did this but used cling on window tint film between the 2
