- winnehondaExplorerThanks, everybody. Some good ideas.
- TinstarExplorerI cut a piece of Refletix, formed it into the dome (cutting wedges out) and taped it in with aluminum tape. Cooled it off by 15 - 20 degrees in there.
- Jones1ExplorerMy '99 Dutch Star has a folding shade(just like your day/night shade without the night feature)So I think you should be able to get one from shade manufacturer.
- LVJ58ExplorerI used Solar Screen that snaps on the skylight frame inside our coach, works just fine...
- NomadacExplorerI cut a pc. of 1" Styrofoam and place it inside and it works great. If we want it out for taking a shower we just remove it and replace it when we are done.
- louiskathyExploreri think bubble wrap might work from the inside ... if it were the right size. You could use velcro to keep it up there. It's pretty light weight. I'd be worried that the aluminum foil looking stuff would have a heat build up between it and the underside of the sky light.
Anyway, this would let some light come on into the shower. I'd miss the sunlight if it were blocked off completely. - Nutinelse2doExplorerI cut a piece of reflex- it ( the silver stuff ) fitted a piece of foam the size of the sky light
( it's rectangle), glued itnto the reflex, and put velco on the reflex.
Easy Peasy. Total cost... Zero, since I had all the materials already. - ridin_with_the_ExplorerI cut a piece of 3" thick foam slightly larger than the skylight. friction fit it in place and closed the "blind". If I want it real dark, I place a towel over the foam before putting it in place. Total cost around $4.00.
- Executive45Explorer IIIWe call it our solar shower and only use cold water.....:W....Dennis
- HalmfamilyExplorerI pulled my inside peice out and cut two layers of a insulated car window sun shade and sandwiched it between the inner and outer sections. I then replaced the inner section. It did cut out all of the light but it did not cut down on the heat load much.
I want to find something that can be placed over the skylight similar to the roof vents preventing the sun from even shining on it. Hopefully someone will have a great idea.
