Life Expectancy of a Skylight?

[Adam1219]

From the outside my skylight feels like a thin piece of plastic that's about to break open. Hard to describe but aren't they supposed to be pretty tough?

2013 model........ 4 years life for skylight?

Ours is a 2012 and replaced earlier this year because it cracked. New is much thicker and different material.

The cover for our fan in the bathroom didn't last a year before it was falling apart.

Ours is 8 years old and still no leaks. Looked fine in the spring when I checked it prior to 4 month trip. I guess I will keep a close eye on it moving forward.

A lot will depend on how much exposure to the elements it has, especially UV. Ours is 11 years old & is still fine. Ours was covered by an RV cover 6+ months out of the year 1st 4 years & for the last 7 it has been parked under an RV port.

Fourteen years and counting, they are still fine.

Thanks for all of the replies.

Skylight was replaced.

Ours was cracked when we got the MH. I thought they were pretty flimsy too and replaced it with one I made from fiberglass cloth and resin using the old skylight as a mold. Cost was about $50.00. It's been in place two years and should last many more.

14 years and counting ours are all good still but starting to look close to replacement needed.

[SteveOGilroy]

9 years and still good but the skylight on our 2008 Astoria may have been made better.

[Adam1219]

The new one is a lot thicker and appears better quality.

The one in our '02 DSDP was still in good shape after 13 years. I did spray it with 303 a couple times a year though.

[SteveOGilroy]

Using 303 is good. I spray 303 on all my plastic and rubber and not problem after 9 years
