My next project is installing a Pioneer 12K BTU, 120volt mini-split in my 2018 Grand Design Imagine 2800BH. I am going to remove the rooftop A/C unit so that I can install additional solar panels. But this isn't a question about solar, batteries, wiring, mounting, etc.
I have a white TPO roof. Do I simply frame in the opening, cover with plywood, and then glue down some TPO and then use Eternabond tape around the edges to seal it against the original roof? My roof is crowned, so trying to match the curve and flex the plywood with only a 14" piece is not going to be easy. Maybe I should use a couple of layers of luan plywood instead and flex each one individually?
I have no ideas for what to do with the opening inside the trailer. I don't want to put a vent in the hole because I already have plenty. I'm not worried about how the roof looks, but I do care how it looks inside.
My question for those who have removed their rooftop A/C is what did you do to cover over the 14" x 14" hole left behind?
Thanks in advance.
