We've been trying to skull out a way to black out the skylight to make sure the BR remains dark during my required beauty recovery and rest hours.
We've been thinking maybe aluminum foil taped to the skylight from below, but not sure it will hold.
Any experiences, recommendations or ideas on turning the switch off on the sun in such situations???
(Cutting the skylight out with a chain saw and nailing surplus plywood over the hole has already been tendered as a suggestion and the DW rejected the suggestion- go figure??

This is also a good thing when camping in winter, to keep the cold out.

For the bedroom windows we bought some heavy black cloth and sewed an opening at the top to shirr onto a spring-tension rod. They were very easy to snap out during the day and in at night. Not pretty but then, you're sleeping.
We, too, need it very dark in order to sleep. Good luck!

Up here I have more trouble with the camping noise of other campers than the daylight.

LOL --Gotta have MY beauty rest---- and that skylight I think was developed by the Defense Department as a Laser Star War project that they put in our MH. Nice of them to put it next to the boudoir- the one place that should be dark in the MH.
That dad blamed thing is bright! I believe it makes light and has a nuke plant tied to it somewhere!

I am convinced now I can leave the chain saw in the garage and even better leave the used plywood covering hole in the floorboard of the 2nd hand pulpwood truck where it currently is being used. No need to pull that plywood out of the floorboard to cover a hole I would have cut in the roof of the MH to make it dark!
I'm leaning towards the foam rubber, but still think I need a way to secure it in a steamy shower. With the curvature of the skylight I wonder how its going to hold up in there.
