Nothing like a little rain in the desert (pic of course)...

to highlight a camper roof skylight leak in the wet bath.

Figured I'd check on the camper today after more than 24hrs of constant rain and flooding out here in Lost Wages. Sure enough I found where my bathroom skylight has cracked and is leaking down into the shower..notice the drop of water?

Well time to find a replacement....remember these are not the flat skylights these are the ones that have about a six inch bubble dome in them so you can stand at the shower. Bring $$...and now the search begins. Anybody have any vendor suggestions?

Here are more pics of the rain in the valley....CLICKY
  • Any trailer place will stock one as they are prone to cracking as they are usually over-torqued at the factory and crack. Then they just put dicor all around. After a while those small cracks migrate up and there is a leak.
  • I cracked one of those on a low branch..i used eternabond tape to fix the crack and spray painted the inner dome white so we coukdnt see the repair from inside. We used that rv for a few more years, I have since sold that rv and totally forgot about that fix until just now.
  • Check out the options at rvskylight.com they have a variety of shapes and sizes available. I bought one for my hail damaged one in my travel trailer and found that they had the best selection and pricing.
  • if you are going to replace it anyways. Henrys 208 wet roof patch from any hardware store will seal the leak even in the rain and stop further damage
  • Bummer. Might check with Dave Mann at Northwood, he's been responsive and timely when I request information. Any chance a dab of epoxy would fix it? If you go that route, you might want to consider stop drilling the crack so it doesn't travel any farther.
