NOTE: Refer to Installation Instructions, Information and Operation Guides regarding the model you have purchased.
The SKYMAXX Rooflight installs into a roof opening of 700 mm x 500 mm (27.56 in. x 19.70 in.).
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 97100iA & 97110iA Rooflight is designed for a minimum roof thickness 23 mm to 42 mm maximum. (1.0 inch to 1.65 inches).
The 97000iA & 97010iA Rooflight is designed for a minimum roof thickness 42 mm to 60 mm maximum. (1.65 inches to 2.36 inches).
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.
WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
a) Use this unit only in the manner intended by AIRXCEL, INC. If you have questions, contact the manufacturer.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
SKYMAXX Model
Roof Opening
00-97000iA, 00-97100iA
00-97010iA, 00-97110iA
700 mm x 500 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
5 cm (2 inches) entirely around the roof opening.
STEP 2
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 3
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 4
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 5 mm dia.) along the outside edge of the
flange all the way around the rooflight.
THIS COMPLETES THE ROOF TOP PORTION OF THE INSTALLATION

STEP 5
Using a small drill bit or probe, determine the thickness of the
roof by inserting probe in mounting holes, mark probe and
measure the depth of the insertion. Add 1.9mm to length
measured. (This allows for the thickness of the ceiling flange.)
This will be the length of screw needed. Refer to tables below
for length of screws in the hardware package.
NOTE: For curved roofs, measure the thickest part of the roof.

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 5, 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.
