Choosing Proper Location
for the Air Conditioner
IMPORTANT: The roof must be
designed to support the weight of the
rooftop unit and the weight of 2 installers
standing on the roof.
There are two ways of installing the
rooftop air conditioner:
● Using the existing roof vent opening in
the vehicle roof.
● Making a new opening. In this case
the opening should be reinforced by
an appropriate frame as required.
Existing Roof Vent Opening
The air conditioner is designed to fit over
an existing 14” roof vent opening.
New Opening
When no roof vent is available or another
location is desired, the following is
recommended:
● For one unit installation - the air
conditioner should be mounted
slightly forward of center (front to
back) and centered from side to side.
● For two unit installations, install one
air conditioner one third from the front
of the RV and the other air conditioner
two thirds from the front of the RV,
aligned in the center.
5
It is preferred that the air conditioner be
installed on a relatively flat and horizontal
roof section measured when the RV is
parked on a level surface.
NOTE: A 15° slant to either side or front
to back is acceptable for all units. If the
roof exceeds 15° please use an exterior
leveling shim to make air conditioner
level.
After the Location Has Been
Selected:
● Check for obstructions in the area
where the air conditioner will be
installed.

Cleaning and Maintenance
A blocked filter will impair the cooling
and heating performance of the unit
significantly.
The filter must be cleaned periodically to
ensure that it does not become clogged
with dust and other particles. The state
of the filter can be ascertained from its
appearance. If it appears dirty or clogged
then it should be cleaned.
WARNING
Airborne particles can pose a health
risk, particularly to young children
and the elderly. Ensure that filters are
cleaned in a safe and well ventilated
area.
To Clean the Filter
The filter should be cleaned every four
weeks or more when in use. Prolonged
use, higher concentrations of airborne
particles and various other factors may
result in the filters needing to be cleaned
more often.
1. Remove the decoration plate from the
air conditioning system by pushing
the side tabs to release. (Fig. 22)
Fig. 22
2. Remove the filters by pushing the
tabs to release. (Fig. 23)
Fig. 23
3. The filter can be washed with warm
soapy water. Care must be taken to
avoid ripping the fabric.
4. Replace the filters and decoration
plate, by reversing the above process.
NOTE: The filter must be completely
dry before re-installation.
To Replace the Filter
Filter changes should be carried out
depending on the amount of use, it
is recommended to change at least
every 12 months. Never operate the air
conditioning system without a filter, since
this can decrease performance and
indoor air quality.
Replacement return air filters can be
ordered directly from Furrion.
