I'm hoping maybe some of you may have suggestions on what I can use to eliminte the excess heat. Summer is fast approaching and the heat in Florida can be overwhelming.
My first summer in Florida sent me running to the store to find 'anything' to cover the huge skylight in my RV to keep the blazing heat from coming in! :B
After several attempts here is what works!
"Removable" Limo Tint.
Key word here is 'removable'. Make sure you read the box carefully to make sure you are buying the 'removable' one.
Found at Walmart.
1. Cut to fit. Depending on the size of your skylight Yes you might have some seams but it doesn't matter.
2.Get a small spray bottle and mix dawn and water in it.
3.Spray the inside of the skylight 'liberally' with the soapy mixture.
4.Put tint up and squeegee it REAL good. To get out ALL the bubbles.
This unbelievably cut down on the heat coming in thru that gaping skylight!
I liked the results so much I added it to my big windows in the front of the coach. Again, it dropped the temps by 20 degrees inside!
I take the skylight tint down come cooler weather but I've left it on my coach windows. Going on 4 years now. Looks like a professional tint but with the option to take it off when ever you want. It just peels right off!
I also did the windows on my toad. What a difference it made. Dogs were really appreciative that I tinted the windows. That removable tint is going on 8 years now and it looks like the day I put it on.
