Heki Skylight Shading
Forums all over the internet have justifiable complaints on how much sun and heat the Heki Skylight lets in. I camp in the desert southwest most of the time so I am constantly looking for a solution ...

egarant,
Does your Heki have the two interior shades on it? Ours has a screen (like a window screen) and a darkening shade that cuts out all the light. Similar to day/night shades, as the darkening shade is pulled across, it replaces the screen and vice-versa. Because we live in the desert, when the camper is not being used, we keep the majority of the darkening shade deployed, but make sure a few inches of the screen section is open to allow heat to escape.
Anyway, we really enjoy our Heki skylight and it sounds like they've been greatly improved from the earlier versions.
We have that same screen system, but you are not supposed to engage the screens when underway. THAT is the problem, all that heat generation while you drive, then you get to a stop and have to try to cool down an interior that has been baked for 5 hours.
