B. Choosing Proper Location For The Air
Conditioner
This air conditioner is specifically designed for installation on
the roof of a 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.
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 center
(front to back) and centered from side to side.
b. For two unit installations: Install one Air Condi-
tioner 1/3 and one Air Conditioner 2/3's from
front of Caravan and centered from side to side.
FIG. 2

It is preferred that the air conditioner be installed on a
relatively flat and level roof section measured with the
Caravan parked on a level surface.
Note: A 8° slant to either side is acceptable, but a Front to
Back slant is not acceptable.
