Its getting a little confusing. Never dealt with these triangles or domes...
I think it might be too much for me with trying to get it covered quick. I'd hate to get in over my head and then feel lost.

I found out that soldering the seams wouldn't be too hard, just would need to prep well. Or a locktite product or even a bondo style material would work to smooth and waterproof the seams to make it look smooth.
I think with good overlap, and sealing it inside and out, it would hold up fine.
The aluminum material my camper has now is only durable in the sense that if you don't touch it it's fine. A simple tree branch can rip it open easily. Steel would definitely be stronger, and I could get away with a lighter gauge than aluminum.

Yeah, the last design I posted is what I want to do, but is there a template for it looking down from the top? Id like to try and get a more 3d plan of attack.

As for roof vents, Ill wait until the build is done to decide what to do. If I added a normal vent then added a vent cover like was posted would that be still kill my FE, cd ,AAA, a&e, and all that fun?

I think I'm going to attempt to reuse my old windows and just rebuild them.
