2020 Northstar Liberty - Expedition Truck Camper Build!

[wyse]

montypower, did any of your videos go over how you patched the hole in the roof where they had originally installed that skylight/vent in the factory AC opening? I also need to pull the original, jet engine sounding factory AC unit and seal that opening which will free up space for some additional solar panels... Debating on how to go about patching the hole. I may just buy a 16x16 aluminum sheet and caulk it down and then eternabond over the top and put insullation on the inside. But some of your later vids of the roof show a really nice smooth looking patch job.

Any suggestions or tips for what you did would be appreciated.

That's essentially how it was patched. We framed in the opening. Cut plywood for the hole (same as roof). Block foam insulation. Thin Plywood inside with vent surround to finish (painted white to match). Piece of TPO or aluminum would work great and seal down on top. We covered with the flexible solar panel as well.

You can see more on the roof when we replaced the TPO completely (one of the videos from spring this year).
