Installing a new cover ( really nice ), then tarps on the top to keep the Bird s*** off the new cover accidentally stepped on the rotty looking skylight over the shower! Yeah!

Anyone replace that? A new rubber roof was installed a yr ago, gee why didn't they replace that skylight then@#$#@! Superbowl time, giving up for now..

Measure the exact dimensions of the skylight and Google it. You'll find a number of resources for replacement skylights.

I believe other National owners have used Fox Lite. Here's their website.

Had to put on a new roof and replace all of the covers as they were sunburned. We took the skylight an replaced it with a piece of plexiglass. It as been perfect for the last year and no problems with leaking or yellowing and a lot cheaper.

I'd recommend using a skylight made for RV use instead of a piece of plexiglass. I'm sure the skylight is more resistant to UV and environmental exposure.

I replaced the outside dome with one purchased off-the-shelf at Lowe's. I think I paid about $20.

Make sure if you're ordering it to get the EXACT outside dimensions. Chances are you won't get to return it if it's wrong. There was a recent story here about measuring the the wrong part of the dome and then trying to return it.

I did notice the sites have pictures of where to measure. Looks like the original light is thin and its very yellow. Cracked like corn flakes. I like the idea of the Lexan model, I don't know how it will hold up to the sun..
