INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SPECIFICATIONS
The Manufacturer gives only general guidelines for Generator
requirements. These Generator requirements come from
experiences consumers have with our equipment in field
applications. When sizing Generators, the total electrical
power consumption of the caravan must be considered. Keep
in mind that Generators lose power because of altitude
increase above sea level, high outside temperatures and lack
of maintenance.

B. CHOOSING PROPER LOCATION FOR THE
AIR CONDITIONER
This air conditioner is specifically designed for installa-
tion on the roof of a recreational vehicle (Caravan). When
determining your cooling requirements, the following
should be considered:
•
Size of Caravan;
•
Window area (increases heat gain);
•
Amount of insulation in walls and roof;
•
Geographical location where the Caravan will be
used;
•
Personal comfort level required.
1.
Normal Location-The air conditioner is designed to
fit over an existing roof vent opening. When the vent
is removed, it normally creates a 35.5 cm x 35.5 cm
opening. See FIG. 1.
FIG. 1
2.
Other Locations-When no roof vent is available or
another location is desired, the following is recom-
mended:
a.
For one unit installation :
The air conditioner should be mounted slightly
forward of the center (front to back ) and cen-
tered from side to side on the Caravan. See FIG.

b.
For two unit installations:
Install one air conditioner 1/3 and the other 2/3's
back from the front of the caravan and centered
from side to side. See FIG. 2.
D. Condensation
Note: The manufacturer of this air conditioner will not be
responsible for damage caused by condensed moisture on
ceilings or other surfaces. Air contains moisture and this
moisture tends to condense on cold surfaces. When air
enters the Caravan, condensed moisture may appear on the
ceiling, windows, metal parts, etc. The air conditioner re-
moves this moisture from the air during normal operation.
Keeping doors and windows closed when this air conditioner
is in operation will minimize condensed moisture on cold
surfaces.

DO NOT add any devices or accessories to this air
conditioner except those specifically authorized by
Dometic.
