Options for replacing skylights

[dpandorf]

Just do the Maxim and you won't be sorry or have to worry any more. Did mine a couple years ago and would do it again if I had. And if I remember correctly, they were not that much more expensive than what RV Inland was selling if not about the same price.

"But I wonder if that's what caused those cracks? Maybe too tight?"

Jimmy,

Our Skylight was cracked right from the factory,(overtightened at every screw), along with the AC shroud and the Fantastic Vent covers and a very poor install of the black tank vent.
Going "up on the roof" should be a part of any Airstream purchase.

BTW.....Fantastic warranted the covers three years after the fact.

It's time to replace the skylight in our 2012 25 foot Flying Cloud. Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello from Maxim Skylights, I think we would be able to help those who are interested in a flat glazed option vs. the bubble dome. If anyone is considering this please send us an email at info@maximskylights.com.

Some important items to keep in mind; only tempered or laminated glass should be used. This will provide safety if the glass breaks by tempered glass breaking like a side window of a car and laminated like a car windscreen. Options could be monolithic, single pane, or even insulated glass, double pane, which would provide extreme protection against heat transfer.

We also could provide a single flat layer of polycarbonate And would just increase the thickness.

We have found success with the three layers, two domes and one flat innermost panel, as it helps with thermal performance and sound attenuation. But a single layer of any material will not provide the same level of protection.

We are always interested In providing not only the standard replacement but unique solutions to meet everyone’s needs.
