Hail Damaged Skylight

I just pulled the skylight out of the Monaco box and it's dimensions are from flange to flange, 25- 5/8" by 33- 3/4". This is a insulated skylight that has the inner dome. Did not get to install as I sold the 32' Windsor. Anyway, just checking dimensions. I am assuming your skylight is a rectangle and not a neo-angled skylight by the pictures you posted. The skylight on the 32' Windsor was a rectangle where the skylight on my 01 Windsor is a neo-angled skylight. Not 100% sure from the pictures now after taking a second look!

It’s a Neo Angle skylight!

I sealed up the skylight opening so I can take my time to find a replacement. I would have liked to use a piece of aluminum, but I couldn’t find one wide enough locally. I used a piece of 5MM plywood, wrapped in the plastic, and screwed to the roof.

The skylight I removed had an outer skylight 1/16” thick and an inner skylight thinner than that. It looks like they were glued together at the factory. I have not seen any like that in my search.

Hi Dennis; Sorry about that. When I read the 16" I thought it was the dimension on both ends. Yours looks like mine on my 01 Windsor. I tried measuring my neo-angled on the 01 Windsor and it was hard to get an exact measurement as the edges of the skylight are covered with the sealant. The best I could get in measurements was the long legs of the skylight were 30.5 to 31.0" The 2 shortest legs were about 11.0" and the last leg was about 27". As I mentioned these are close guesstimates as I can't see the actual edge of the skylight on the roof. So far I have looked at a lot of manufactures of RV skylights and some come close to what I have, but not exactly. Will be interesting to see what you come up with as I know others here have great suggestions for suppliers. Nice temporary repair!

Ours is a similar style neo angle skylight. I replaced ours last year with an Icon brand. If they have one your size do not hesitate to purchase from them, very high quality and probably twice the thickness of the original skylight. Glad you dodged the storm...

I ordered two skylights from EZ Tops World Wide to make a double pane skylight. They will make sure they fit together. Should be here in about two weeks. I'll let you know how it goes.

Hi Dennis; Looking forward to find out how everything fits and what the actual dimensions are to your skylight.

The outside dimensions are 34" on the two long sides, the two shorts sides are 15 1/2" and the diagonal is 26".

Measuring just the "bubble", its 30" by 13" X 24".

I'm interested to see how well they fit together.

Still waiting on the skylight - they've had supply issues and it should be ready next week. Problem is we're leaving for Europe and will have them hold it until we get back.

Back home after three weeks in Greece - had a great time. The day before we headed home, I got the shipping notice for the skylight parts. I'll be glad to finish this repair.

I'm hoping you'll post pictures as you put the new covers back on.

The skylights are here! They are much thicker and heavier than the original. I’m a little concerned that they while the shorter skylight fits into the taller well enough, the flange isn’t exactly the same on both. You can see that in pic three. When the three square sides line up, the diagonals are a little different. The one which will go on top is a little wider. I’m wondering if that will make it harder to seal.

I didn't look long as the rain was still coming down, but I did patch the hole with gorilla tape. We also lost a couple clearance lights. I'll get up on top tomorrow and take some measurements so I can order a replacement.
