of the roof which is both flat and level when the
caravan is parked on a level surface; otherwise,
a sideways pitch or forward pitch up to 8° can be

accepted. See FIG. 3.

d. The roof must be designed to support 60 Kg.
when the Caravan is in motion. Normally a 90
Kg. static load design will meet this require-
ment. See FIG. 7.
It is the responsibility of the installer of this
air conditioner system to ensure structural in-
tegrity of the Caravan roof. Never create a low
spot on the roof where water will collect. Wa-
ter standing around the air conditioner may
leak into the interior causing damage to the
product and the Caravan.
