Skylight Protection

I have to store my Flagstaff T21QBHW in the "down" condition. Does anyone have a suggestion about how to protect the skylights from damage from tree debris, etc???

Tree debris... as in branches or limbs or sap and dirt?

A RV cover would help with sap and dirt.

A 'Carolina Carport' type structure or pole building for limbs and branches.
If it is parked where you believe limbs and branches may fall on the camper you might want to think about parking it elsewhere.

In all honesty, the roof and skylights are subject to damage whether the roof is in the up position or in the down position if stored under falling debris.

It is easy enough to build boxed that can be placed on top to protect the bubble windows.

We have had a limb hit our camper near the bubble window and made a quarter sized puncture hole so it's not just the window that needs protection... just my 2 cents.

I use towels over the windows to prevent scratching. Then we put a tarp on. And finally we cover with a purchased RV cover. It has kept everything in good condition and the windows have held up great!
