Gee, on our '84 Westy the skylight improved ventilation remarkably by
giving hot air a place to go.  It was some help on the road as well,
allowing a good-sized low resistance outlet (or inlet - it seems to
be mounted in a neutral pressure zone on the roof).  But it really
shone when camping, and made a huge difference when we left the van
in the sun with the front windows open a couple inches.  It let a bit
of light into the interior as well, though I didn't think that was a big deal.

Yours,
David
