Hey Peter, I'll open the hatch on Dixie and measure the hole for you as soon as the downpour stops.?




There's a veritable LAKE surrounding the house right now!? I feel like Winnie the Pooh......

I know this is probably in the archives, but I can't get the search to work (keeps timing out) and I need some info




on installing a skylight as I am doing a retrofit into my '81 westy. I bought the kit from bus depot and it didn't come


with assembly instructions - not too much of an issue because it looks pretty simple. My issue is: where do I put


the rubber seal it came with (on the dome or on the van?) and how much do I cut out of the skylight location. It would


be nice if the kit came with a template for the opening and bolt holes and included directions on the best way to cut


the hole. I would like to tackle this as soon as the weather is nice again in a couple of days. Any pictures anyone


has of the process would be greatly appreciated, and measurements of the opening. I got a couple of pictures from


online of installed skylights, but they don't tell me much about how big the hole is or if it is shaped any differently than


a big square (I assume it's not). Thanks for any help!
