A few years ago we added two marine portholes to the side of our Tote N Tarry, and now I've got this wild idea of adding a sunroof/skylight to the roof. I don't like the little crank open vent that is there now, and was wondering if I could install a sliding window, but on the ceiling? That way I could slide it open like a sunroof, or maybe even get a hatch type window which would be removable so we could see the stars while in bed. I know they have emergency exit windows for large RVs, so maybe that's an option. Ideas or photos, or am I just nuts? I was also thinking of installing a dome like window akin to a UFO which might be fun, but they don't open. Thanks again! Filbert (yes, like the nut).
The PlayPac I used to have had something like this. It was nice that it provided a little extra headroom in that spot. Downside was that it was nearly impossible to put a shade over so I tended not to like it in the morning when I wanted to sleep late.
Hey, that's my trailer before and after I added the portholes! I like the Superman shaped skylight, but I really want something that opens or can be removed. I checked out J.C. Whitney, but I guess they don't sell as many pop up sunroofs as they used to. I may have to resort to buying a used one on Ebay. Thanks for you input everyone.
A hatch for a boat is exactly what you want, it opens and is designed to be 'very' waterproof. Look at a place like jamestown distributors or Hamilton marine.

Okay, vintage shades for the portholes and a boat hatch as the skylight! We keep forgetting that marine supplies often can be used in travel trailer applications as well, and even add a bit of class a la the Howells on Gilligan's Island. The hatches are pretty cheap, and of course are waterproof. I know, no screens, but I'm not planning on traveling to any mosquito infested areas.
