Place the Unit onto the Roof for Rooftop RV SystemsUpdated a day ago

Introduction

This article explains how to place the unit onto the roof for Full Inverter Rooftop RV Air Conditioner Heat Pumps

Variants of this machine can weigh up to 100 pounds. To prevent unintentional damage to the equipment, it is recommended to use a crane or lifting device to raise the system onto the roof of the RV. 

Do not drag the air conditioner, as it can damage the insulation at the bottom. This can cause water leakage due to improper sealing of the insulation. 

If any misalignment is found with the outdoor unit's positioning on the roof during panel installation, adjust the outdoor unit from inside through the mounting hole. Ensure that the bottom part's insulation on the roof is precisely aligned with the 14-1/4 inch x 14-1/4 inch square opening. 

Steps

  1. Remove the outdoor unit of the air conditioner from the carton. 
  2. Carefully place the outdoor unit on the roof of the RV. 
  3. Lift the equipment by using the box sponge of the air conditioner. Position the unit over the prepared opening, with the condenser coil facing the rear of the RV. 
  4. Install the panel assembly inside the RV. The panel assembly includes fasteners designed for securing the air conditioner, which will be used during installation.
