yeah Profile might be the biggest problem....the dry showers are tight against the side of the coach and have the severest curve in the roof above them.....

I wonder how much a custom vacuum formed UV resistant smoke tint Polycarbonate part would be if I provided the fully prepared mould and did all the trimming required.......
raw sheet cost would be less than $100....for 3/16 thick.
I would have to make small dummy section of roof, a few inches bigger all around (to give generous flange) and then add skylight profile on top of that.

No reason you can't except the placement of the roof ribs. If you can get between the spars, it shouldn't be any more difficult than putting in a Fantastic Fan. I wouldn't want to cut a rib unless I could do some aluminum framing to reinforce the structure...just like cutting a rafter.

The PROBLEM however is probably going to be finding a skylight with the correct curve to match our roof arch. Most all new coaches have flat roofs.
