We have a couple of those extension rods to hang towels. What I do is to take the towel and hang it from on extension rod to the the shower rod which blocks the sun light. Cost is an extention rod which is used and can be removed without defacing the camper.

DW cut a piece of insulated drapery backing she had and velcroed it in place. Works well as it still lets in light but blocks the heat.

If you are OK with blocking the light permanently, those skylights (at least mine) are in two layers. The thing allowed sunshine into the bedroom too early in the morning. I removed the bottom layer and installed a black plastic liner between the layers. The plastic I used was thin and it still allows a small amount of light through. If you want to totally block it you could use an aluminum foil liner.

I had a canvas shop come by and measure the sky lights and made some heavy duty covers that snap into place.

Another one: Cut a piece of this Plas-Tex 1/8" larger than both dimensions and push into place. You may want to attach a tab of tape, cloth, etc. for easy removal.
In fact, I have 35 sq. ft. of it. If you contact me through PM and can relay the size of your skylight opening, I'll cut the piece and send it along. That's all I can do for you, today, lol.

Thanks for the replies. I am going to pick up the 14x14 cushions from CW on the way down to the trailer this week for the three vents in the tt. Probably cut a sheet of the refectix to go on top of the pillow and shove it up into the vent.
CW doesn't show a pillow available for the skylight, and I don't remember what size those skylights are?
3" foam rubber 3" x 24" x 80" is $40 on ebay. I do have some foam around here but its real low density and would not likely stay in place at all.
