Living area skylight

Our TT came with what is called a sunroom option. A skylight in the kitchen (living) area, 2 skylights over the dinette and a large window by the dinette. I love them and my wife hates them. She never wants them open (they have shades over them). I like all the natural light. The only negative is they do let in a lot of heat.

Skylights are sweet, but I would add brighter bulbs before cutting into my roof. You can get some good LED lamps that draw very little. I stuck with the factory lumen output when I put LED lamps in and am OK with the light. I could had gone brighter at the expense of more money. Check out Brightleds.com Their warm white lights give a very good warm color.

If you know basic construction it is easy to do. If you remove the trim from your bathroom vent you will see how they use dimensional lumber to box between the trusses. You will need to have a stud finder to locate trusses... mark the size and location on the inside ceiling and cut the opening there first. Then create the "box" as was done for the vent. Drill a hole at all 4 corners thru the roof....then from the outside cut the roof membrane in an "X" forming 4 triangles to be folded back...CAUTION at this point do NOT remove any membrane. Mark cut lines on the plywood from hole to hole forming the box and cut and remove. Fold the membrane into the opening and staple down and trim excess. Now follow the instructions included with the skylight to complete the install. Be sure to buy a skylight that works with the curve of your particular rig as some are NOT going to conform to a high center point curved roof.

My living area has a 14 x 14 vent hatch that allows some extra light in. It's about 7 feet forward of the A/C unit.

You'd have to cut through the rubber membrane and then reseal around the skylight. Obvious need to avoid structural members, electrical and A/C duct banks. I never open my skylight in the living area to let in air, but I appreciate the light it lets in, so I'm glad it was included in my floorplan.

If you don't want to go the skylight route, you can install a dimmer switch for the LED ceiling lighting and use that to bring some light into the area without paying a fortune for electricity.

Our trailer has a skylight over the kitchen area, so it can be done. Parts seem available
