Roof Vent transfers too much light...

I have standard roof vents currently. When that sun goes in early AM, it shines on that white cover and it is way too bright in the cabin. What does everyone do to combat this? Are the vent covers the only good solution? I'd like to sleep past 5am when camping.

We bought a couple of Vent Cushions. Works well for blocking light and heat.

It doesn't block the air conditioning vents though


We rarely run AC.

Lowes and Home Depot have DARK/SUN BLOCK screen material...
Make a snug fitting frame with dark screen and put it in the vent frame opening
Is it time for your medication or mine?

Put something in the vent. I use a piece of cardboard cut to 14"x14" with the corners rounded off. They sell foam squares that get stuffed up there too. You can paint the vent cover. You can Velcro a piece of fabric.

There are multitudes of options, from free to cheap to expensive.
