Best place to buy replacement skylights?

Question

Sure I can do an internet search for this, but I thought first I'd rely on the wisdom of the list: Is there a consensus on the "best" online place to buy replacement skylights for my trailer's shower room?

My 8-year-old skylight is cracked in many places and brittle, and I've caulked it so many times I can hardly see through it any more. And I'm just asking for a disaster; I'm amazed it seems to have survived this winter's heavy snow cover without disintegrating!

I have bought related items at PPL motor homes (Google). Delivery was quick and prices good. They carry skylights. You will need your measurements.

I bought from http://www.rvskylight.com/rvskylights.htm and was pleased. Here's some things to keep in mind:

1) Each skylight is custom made; delivery is several weeks.
2) You have to drill your own holes. This is not a big deal, but you are supposed to use either a special plastic drill bit or a modified regular bit.
3) Polycarbonate plastic should have a special sealant; Dicor or Proflex not recommended. One of the special sealants is Surebond SB140. My install required two tubes. I put butyl under the skylight lip.
