Roof Space on PT40

[Pete Masterson]

Looking at your photo, I note that your system appears to be mounted
to one side of the center line. (Your initial question asked about
the center line). If it can be mounted off center, you'll probably
find plenty of room between the 2nd and 3rd AC on most 'birds -- but
you should certainly verify that on any particular 'bird you're
considering. However, keep in mind that the "goat rails" to limit the
width, so you may not be able to fit between an AC and the edge --
but you might be able to install to one side of the vent/skylight in
the area between the first and second AC unit. (Worst case you might
need to install a modified (narrower) vent cover.)
