Roof Space on PT40

[Pete Masterson]

Looking at the roof of my 'bird (a '95), the centerline has (from the
front) the spotlight, a KingDome (after market) the front AC -- and
to the curb side is the "flying saucer" TV antenna. There is no clear
area of sufficient size in front of the first AC even if you removed
the King Dome.

Behind the first AC and in front of the second AC (approximately 1/2
way between) is the fan/vent cover. (Some 'birds have a skylight
here). So, your unit won't fit there.

Between the 2nd AC and the rear AC is a lengthy open space. There is
a plumbing vent pipe about 2/3 of the way back ... it looks like
there's at least 6 feet of clear space. To one side is a fantastic
fan vent, but on my coach, it's off center and may not interfere with
your needs. The location of the fantastic fan vent and the plumbing
vent pipe will vary on different 'birds by the bathroom layout -- but
usually they will be to one side or the other since the plumbing vent
pipe is positioned in relation to the toilet and holding tank and the
fantastic fan is usually located near the shower.

Finally, behind the third AC, there is, at least, 60" clear space ...
but I have a 42' model, so I don't know if that holds true for the PT40.
