with ground.
Be sure that 16” of supply wire is passed through the
framing. This ensures enough wire is available for an
easy connection in the junction box.

2. Seal all holes and seams with a weather resistant
sealant.
3. Measure the width and length of the vent opening.
If the opening doesn’t comply with the requirements
above, it must be resized.
If a preexisting opening will not be used, a new opening
will be cut through both the roof and ceiling of the RV.

members.
2. Do NOT cut structural roof members to create
opening for this air conditioner. Doing so may
cause damage to RV and air conditioner.
3. Do NOT create a low spot on the RV roof. Water
can pool and may leak through the opening.
The square opening must be boxed with framing
at least 3/4” thick to withstand the load from the
compression bolts.
Be sure to provide an access hole for RV wiring
toward the front of the 14 1/4 x 14 1/4” opening.
Roof and RV structure at point of install must be
strong enough to support air conditioner without any
deflection. Deflection will allow water to pool at the air
conditioner’s gasket, which may cause a leak.
D. PLACING UNIT ON ROOF
CAUTION

Ensure proper
lifting methods and controls are
used when lifting unit to the RV roof. Failure to do so

1. Remove unit from packaging and dispose of
packaging.

people, lift the unit and place over the prepared
opening. The front of the unit must face the RV’s
direction of travel. Damage to condenser fan and
coil will occur if this instruction is not followed.
WARNING
It is important that these installation
instructions are read and understood before
installation and use.
Failure to securely install the unit to the RV before
moving the RV may result in personal injury or death.
Do not operate the unit or recreational vehicle until the
unit is fully secured on roof.
3. Bring the ceiling assembly with all provided
mounting hardware into the RV. All work on the
exterior of the RV is now complete.
