Not all aftermarket skylights are the same, but the one I sell is comparable
in fit and quality to the original. So you can install it without worries.
However, like all of the aftermarket skylights, it is only single-pane
construction. Anyone familiar with insulation and energy efficiency will
tell you that dual pane construction roughly doubles the R value, so the OEM
one will do a better job keeping your camper nice and comfy inside.
Presently the OEM one is considerably pricier than the single-pane
aftermarket one, at $130.  But I have just started sourcing them directly
from Europe, and by cutting out the middleman I will be dropping my price
significantly.  In about 4-6 weeks they will be $99.95.  Still pricier than
the aftermarket one (which I will continue to sell), but well worth
considering at the new price.
