ASSESS ROOF STRENGTH The roof members MUST be strong enough to support the weight of the unit without any roof deflection that will cause “pooling” of water around the unit. Contact your caravan manufacturer to confirm the max load the roof is able to handle. If the roof does not have an existing hole one must be cut. Cut through the roof then use the roof hole as a guide to cut through the ceiling.
