DIY RV Bathroom Skylight Blockers

Written by Douglas Robichaud | April 30, 2015

This creative solution will prevent unwanted light from shining through your RV’s bathroom skylight.

One of our followers and proud RV owner, Sharon from Pennsylvania shared her stylistic solution for blocking unwanted light from an RV’s bathroom skylight. 

First of all, why would you want to block your RV’s bathroom skylight?

You may find that the light shining through your RV’s bathroom skylight can cause a significant increase or decrease in temperature in your bathroom depending on the climate of your camping location. During a hot summer day, the light shining through your skylight can transform your bathroom into a stuffy sauna. On a cool fall day, your skylight can leak in cool air transforming your bathroom into a freezer. In addition, your RV’s bathroom skylight may leak unwanted light into your bedroom in the morning when you’re trying to sleep. This is where Sharon’s DIY skylight blockers save the day!

Sharon blocks her RV’s bathroom skylight with her timeless quilt squares she hand sewed in the comfort of her own home. Sharon said she also uses her quilt squares to block her RV's vents from leaking warm or cool air into her RV. 

“The quilt pattern is an eight pointed star,” said Sharon. “It’s a pattern I love to use a lot on all my quilts. My quilt squares keep out unwanted light, heat during the summer and cool air during the fall.”
