Installing MaxxAir vent cover - question

I had MaxxAir covers installed by the dealer, but I ran into a different problem on my way to Alaska one summer. It never gets totally dark, and there's a vent directly over my rear bed. I stopped in Dawson Creek, BC at Canadian Tire (like Sears). They had stacks of black plastic "cardboard". A knife and some double sided Velcro kept the "Midnight Sun" out when sleeping, but still removable during the day. I still have them, in case I find a CG that leaves lights on at night.

We had similar problem boondocking in college parking lot for football games. We liked parking right next to the little islands that have light poles because it gave room to open the awning and tailgate. We never did anything to black out the vents/skylight, just "tailgated" hard enough during the we didn't notice the light at night :) :) :)
