Ahh, someone like us, had to special order our 177 w/o A/C, got an extra vent on top to fill in the gap of the 'missing' a/c unit. But, how novel to put in a skylight! After you post, I may have to copy your idea, sounds pretty neat. We are a touch south of the 45th parallel, about 1 mile, so I know what you mean about being more concerned about heating than cooling. In fact it is about time to fire up the wood stove, getting snow right now but can't justify using it yet as the temps are still way to warm in the daytime, low to mid 40's

You will have a lot of jealous Podders messaging you once they see a skylight mod!

No I want to stay with the 2 twenty# bottles, I use one as a spare and use it for my propane heater in the R-dome. I will also take out the AC and put in a sky lite, we have never used it in over 3 years, I am more concerned with heating than cooling, I do live north of the 49th.

You could go with a single, 40 pound horizontal bottle.. around here they can be found pretty cheap, and are usually aluminum to boot.. You may need to change out the valving, depends on the prior application.. here it's usually from a fork lift.

Just as a note.. if you have it stripped, have you heard of, or used POR-15? That stuff is the bomb. We used it on Agnes (the Airstream) and it has held up fantastically.
