● Minimum of 1.5 inches and maximum of 6 inches distance between roof to ceiling of RV.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
A. Choosing Proper Location For Unit
This unit is specically designed for installation on the roof
of an RV. When determining your cooling requirements, the
following should be considered:
● Size of RV;
● Window area (increases heat gain);
● Amount of insulation in walls and roof;
● Geographical location where the RV will be
used;
● Personal comfort level required.
1. Normal locations-The unit is designed to t over
an existing roof vent opening.
4
2. Other locations-When no roof vent is available
or another location is desired, the following is
recommended:
a. For one unit installation: The unit should be
mounted slightly forward of center (front to
back) and centered from side to side.
b. For two unit installations: Install one unit 1/3
and one unit 2/3’s from front of RV and centered from side to side.
It is preferred that the unit be installed on a relatively at
and level roof section measured with the RV parked on a
level surface. See table for maximum acceptable tilt.
