4. Installation Considerations

Important: An installation manual is not included with this product. Professional installation is highly recommended to ensure proper fitment, sealing, and functionality. Incorrect installation can lead to leaks, damage, or malfunction.

Key Considerations Before Installation:

• Cut Hole Size: The ordering size (700x500mm) refers to the required cut hole size in your vehicle's roof. Do not use the overall size for cutting.
• Corner Radius: The cut hole must have an arc-shaped corner radius of R70. Avoid right-angle cuts without this radius, as it can affect fitment and sealing.
• Wall Thickness: Ensure you select the correct fitting thickness for your vehicle's wall when ordering. The bolts are adjustable to accommodate varying wall thicknesses.
• Sealing: Proper sealing around the cut hole is crucial to prevent water ingress. Use appropriate sealants recommended for RV applications.
• Electrical Connection: The integrated LED light requires an electrical connection. Ensure wiring is done safely and according to vehicle electrical standards.
