I have bad news for you. The opening for the AC is 14 1/2"x 14 1/2" but the ceiling is 2 3/16" thick, in order to have a good overlap you need a 18"x18" skylight. The only Skylight in that size is either white or smoked, I wanted clear. The cost to have one custom made is between 250-300$ here, to much for me.
So I bought a clear cover for the fantastic fan, I build my own curb and put a latch on it so I can open it for cleaning. I also fit a flat piece of plexiglass wish is laying on top of the inner trim. It is kind of double glass.


Leave it marwayne. I don't think there has been a mod on his trailer that was a bolt on. He has some of the most fantastic custom mods on the forum. I wouild go as far to say the most fantastic custom mods.

Wow. Looks great.

What material did you use to make up the Curb?

I've decided to settle for the Smoke coloured Vent (hopefully it will be open most of the time anyway). Despite having some scrap pieces of carbon fibre around, I'm not sure I have the patience to build up the whole dome from scratch.  Found this one at etrailer for $35 and think it should work.

It's not nearly as cool as marwayne's mod but looks pretty straight forward. Thank-you for the great pictures.

I hate that old noisy AC but I love it on a hot, muggy July night!  Actually I had to use it in Florida some this winter to give the pups a break from the heat.....and yeah, I liked it for an afternoon nap too.
