Removing the old vent typically leaves a 14-1/4 inch x 14-1/4 inch (&#xB1; 1/8 inch) opening.</p><p>If there is no roof vent, or if you need to install this product in a different position, follow these guidelines:</p><ul><li style="font-size: 16px;">When installing a single air conditioner, position it slightly ahead of the center point (as viewed from the front of the vehicle) and center it between the left and right sides.<img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/Q9r0k7BYaV2vg13y/hc/9JWjXVxG8m6DvMqm/2026072013-45dbc1d5-d023-4bc3-8131-2c5ca9d5dc7f-rv_rooftop_installation_one.png" style="width: 500px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-bordered"></li><li style="font-size: 16px;">When installing two air conditioners, position the units at the 1/3 and 2/3 marks from the front of the RV.

The installation gradient must not exceed 15 degrees.</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">Once you determine the installation position, check the designated area for obstacles. Ensure a minimum clearance of 1-1/2 feet (457 mm) between the back of the vehicle body and any other roof equipment.</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">The minimum center-to-center spacing for roof rafters and joists should be 15-3/4 inches (400 mm).&#xA0;</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">The roof thickness of the RV must be at least 1 inch (25 mm) and no more than 4 inches (102 mm). If the roof thickness exceeds 4 inches, an additional air duct connection is required.&#xA0;</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">When the RV is in motion, the roof must support a dynamic load of 135 pounds (61.2 kg). A static load design of 220 pounds (99.8 kg) is typically sufficient to meet this requirement.</li><li style="font-size: 16px;">Make sure no obstacles &#x2014; such as doors, partition frames, curtains, or ceiling fixtures &#x2014; will interfere with the installation of the air conditioner&apos;s indoor unit.</li></ul>

Insert and hand-tighten the four long bolts into these corresponding rivet nuts.</p><p>If the bolts are too loose, the roof may not seal adequately. Conversely, overtightening them can damage the air conditioner chassis or the fixing plate. Always tighten the bolts to the specified torque.</p><p>4. Once all bolts are in place, tighten them evenly and one at a time to a torque of 3.3&#x2013;4 ft-lb. This compresses the roof box foam to a thickness of approximately 1/2 inch (13 mm). Because these bolts are self-locking, do not over-tightening them.</p>
