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.

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.

1.5 –2.25 in. (40 –60 mm)
60 mm
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.

INSTALLATION

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
