READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Refer to Installation Instructions, Information and Operation Guides regarding the model you have

purchased.

The SKYMAXX ROOFLIGHT installs into a standard caravan roof opening of 15.75 in. x 15.75 in.

(400 mm x 400 mm).

To determine if your roof opening is correctly sized, simply remove the interior ceiling garnish trim ring of

your existing roof vent and measure the ceiling opening or verify the opening is large enough by sliding

the Rooflight interior ceiling flange into the opening.

The Rooflight is designed for a minimum roof thickness 0.90 inches to 2.36 inches maximum

(23 mm to 60 mm).

The LED lighted Rooflight requires a minimum 12 Volt DC, 2 amp service. Confirm that the circuit you

intend to use will accommodate the additional load. Circuit must be fused and use appropriate gauge

stranded wire for electrical connections.

NOTE: Wall Control for LED lights must be provided by installer.

NOTE: THE ROOFLIGHT MUST BE CLOSED PRIOR TO TRANSPORTING OR MOVING THE CARAVAN.

WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS,

OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by AIRXCEL, INC. If you have questions, contact the

manufacturer.

b) Before servicing or cleaning the unit, switch power off at service panel and lock the service

disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service

disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a prominent warning device, such as a

tag, to the service panel.

15.75 in. x 15.75 in.

(400 mm x 400 mm)

Refer to the above table for roof size opening. If you are

replacing another type already installed, remove the old existing

roof vent. Remove all old roof sealant for a minimum of 2 inches

(5 cm) entirely around the roof opening.

STEP 2

Measure the thickness of the roof opening. NOTE: For curved

roofs, measure the thickest part of the roof.

STEP 3

Prior to installing the SKYMAXX ROOFLIGHT over the roof

opening, apply a continuous strip of a flexible non-hardening

sealing compound (e.g. SikaLastomer-710) to the underside of

the flange in the grooved space.

CAUTION! When installing your SKYMAXX ROOFLIGHT,

only use a caulking/sealant compatible with the flange (plastic

product) and the roof surface. DO NOT use materials

containing solvents such as or similar to Xylene, Toluene,

Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), Acetate or Acetone as they can

damage the flange. Also, Polysulfide (Thiokol) type sealants

must be avoided.

If in doubt, please contact the manufacturer of your caravan for

further information.

STEP 4

Insert the SKYMAXX ROOFLIGHT into the roof opening with the

hinged section facing the front of the vehicle with the ceiling

flange centered in the opening. Press down on the flange to

compress the sealant to seal to the roof.

STEP 5

After the SKYMAXX ROOFLIGHT has been installed, remove

the excess caulk that may have squeezed out. Using a sealer

such as Dicor self-leveling lap sealant or similar caulking, apply a

bead (approximately 0.25 in./5 mm dia.) along the outside edge

of the flange all the way around the Rooflight.

THIS COMPLETES THE ROOF TOP PORTION OF THE

INSTALLATION

Plus

STEP 6

Insert the ceiling flange into the opening, lining up the flanges.

STEP 7

Referring to the screw lengths in the table of STEP 2, use the

proper length screws depending on your roof thickness to secure

the ceiling flange to the rooftop flange, taking care not to

overtighten the screws to avoid cracking or deforming the ceiling

flange and rooftop flange.

STEP 8

Optional: Install the screws to secure the ceiling flange to the

caravan ceiling. If the ceiling flange does not lay flat to the

ceiling, you may want to install screws to prevent gapping.

STEP 9

To assemble the Interior Shroud to the Ceiling Flange, line up

the flanges with the channels on the Ceiling Flange. Secure in

place by pressing firmly on the Interior Shroud. This ensures that

the clips on the Interior Shroud will engage the channels on the

ceiling flange to lock it in place.

This completes the installation of the MAXXAIR

SKYMAXX ROOFLIGHT

the lid by using the handle. Raise the lid to the desired opening

using the slots in the sides of the rooftop flange to position the
