1989 Chieftain...what is this and where is it from??

I recently bought a 1989 Winnebago Chieftain. While going through it cleaning it and trying out things, we found this. We can't figure out where it belongs or what it is. We are sure it belongs to the Chieftain, because the color matches the upholstery, but we have no idea beyond that. Any helpful input would be greatly appreciated!

I'm thinking it's a skylight cover.

thanks for the quick reply......but....the skylights/vents aren't the same size...it's more of a rectangle shape... and the only other skylight that comes close is the skylight in the shower. I doubt they would use fabric for that. Anyone else have an idea???

We have our old 1986 Winny still on our property and that looks like one of the panels that were on the walls, I think by the living area chairs. I can't get to it tonight but I will look tomorrow for you.

unknown items

Hi, I took pics but can't get them to load because I'm not to knowledgeable
on the how to's. The panels go on the wall behind the swivel chairs behind the passenger side front seat. ( Chieftain 33 ) I will try to get some help to post pics.
Hope this helps.
P.S. What model Chieftain do you have?

If the length in the OP's profile is correct, it looks like it's a 33RQ (35'3" long).

The pictures make things kind of misleading---I took two pictures in order to show the front and the back, however, there is only ONE of these. I guess I'm curious as to why we would only have one when we have two reclining chairs....?
