And subsequently Evergreen went belly up @ 2016.

Seeing that Skyline sold out to Evergreen in 2014, who then went out of business in 2016, 7 years is about right. Evergreen took a mediocre product and morphed it into total junk. Fairly common course of action in the RV industry.
Sorry, I have to disagree. Our Skyline/Evergreen definitely isn’t total junk and has been relatively trouble free for over 6 years. It’s been cross country twice and up and down the East coast many times. We average several thousand miles a year. It lives outside on a mountain.
A lot of folks on here just love to trash RVs. Perhaps another form of recreation would make them happier.

Have a 2011 Skyline Nomad Joey 260. Been a pretty good trailer although starting to get some age related issues like awning fabric starting to rot and all the decals are peeling off. Probably upgrade in a year or two. I think Skyline went out of business a number years ago.

hi Mary...You've posted on a thread that started back in 2012 where members were looking for a Skyline forum so answers to your question may be very few.
Years ago I had a new 1984 Aljo by Skyline 26' 5th wheel trailer. The trailer had the usual dbl window in the overhead bdroom with a fiberglass protector cover. However the protector is generic with the industry so other brand TTs may have the same shield.
Many people may not respond to old threads like this one so it can work out better if you start a new thread for your question if no one responds on this old thread.
