Installing Operating Skylite In Winnebago Aspect

[dtomlinson]

I have a 2007 Winnebago 29H Aspect and I am thinking about a skylite in living area. I have noticed that Winnebago is installing a very nice operating skylite in the newer models. I am wondering if anyone has in stalled one in a 2005-2008 Aspect roof. I am not sure if they changed anything in the roof in 2009 and later. It looks like it should work. I have installed several Fantastic fans in various motorhomes. It is a little scary to cut a large hole in your roof.

Make sur there is no wiring in the area you have to cut.

As far as the insulation factor goes, I have had many skylites in the 8 rvs I have owned in past and never felt need for insulation in the skylites and we have done a lot of winter camping. The newer double skylites are like dual pane windows. I have also been a home builder and installed many skylites in homes with no problem.

I'm thinking, for next summer, to remove the inner skylight cover in the shower and see if a piece of reflectix will fit loosely between it and the roof dome cover. I don't want it pushing against the roof dome and risk creating a leak.

I would ask how many people put pillows or some other cover on their skylights to keep out the heat. Maybe in SD that is not an issue?

Why not contact Winney and see what you can find out. There is also a local dealer there that might have the info you need.

We noticed the sky light they install now. Thought it was pretty nice.
