The ceiling does have a built in dome for rain runoff. Something to consider.

I don't want to use electrical lighting. Nothing compares to natural light.

Suggestions?

why cut up a perfect tight one piece aluminum roof? i did it on our MDT and installed two of them POS camping vents : that vent rattles at night in the wind and always opened itself and broke/lost the lid.
i would never do it again
why dont you install lots of windows in the side?
we got all our windows on ebay
if you take your time and dont realy care about the actual size/shape (no existing hole to fit) you can get some great deals.
all our windows are nice tinted "Heers" with inside trim and we got them from $ 9.50 each (new original KW K900 sleeper replacement windows) to $ 60 each ( new, big 2'x 3' slider windows)
to let the heat out of the box or for some light ventilation i installed two of the original Pete sleeper vents in the roof. you can buy them new here; Vent

"bombproof" design and easy to install/seal with that wide flange
