BougeRV RV Skylight Vent Cover Review: A Simple Upgrade That Makes a Big Difference

If you’ve ever been woken up by the early morning sun shining through your RV bathroom skylight, you know how much heat and light can sneak into your camper. That’s why we decided to try the BougeRV RV Skylight Vent Cover, and it quickly became one of those inexpensive RV accessories we wish we’d purchased sooner.

What We Like

Blocks Heat and Sunlight

The BougeRV skylight cover is made from durable Oxford material that does an great job of blocking sunlight and reducing heat inside the RV. On hot summer camping trips, every little bit helps, and we noticed the bathroom stayed noticeably cooler after installing it.

Foldable Magnetic Design

One feature that really stands out is the patented foldable magnetic design. Unlike many skylight covers that are either completely open or completely closed, this one allows you to fold panels up or down depending on how much light you want. The magnets are surprisingly strong and hold the shade securely in place.

Easy Installation

Installation couldn’t be much simpler. The included hook-and-loop strips are pre-cut, so you simply peel, stick, and attach the cover. The entire process takes only a few minutes and requires no tools.

Added Privacy

Whether you’re parked at a campground or marina, the cover adds extra privacy by preventing people from seeing through the skylight. This is especially useful in RV bathrooms where privacy is important.

Universal Fit

Measuring 15.8” x 15.8”, this cover is designed to fit most standard 14” x 14” RV skylights. It’s also suitable for boats, campers, and even some home applications. As always, measure your skylight before ordering to ensure a proper fit.
