I'm looking for photos of the AC openings underneath my 2001 MADPs Penguins.
Definitely a long shot, but anyone ever removed an AC unit and snapped a pic?

Far as I know all RV's are set up the same - as wa8yxm says 14 x 14 square - same dimensions as your other roof vents.

Newmars have a proprietary ductwork system. It's not just the standard 14 x 14-inch opening.

I received photos from Newmar tech support and a Yahoo Groups forum member.
The pics are on the Yahoo newmarowners group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/newmar...75472/pic/list
The short story is that you need a special gasket on the bottom of the AC to separate and direct the AC in and out flows.
Most other RVs cut a 14x14-inch hole entirely through the ceiling. Newmar doesn't do this -- it directs and pulls air from 2 ceiling channels w/o going thru the ceiling.
Tx all!

Techwriter-just had a new A/c installed last summer and again last fall (first installation bought the farm due to faulty compressor). Watch both installations being done and a standard roof gasket was used. the A/C did have provisions built in for the split duct tho.

Thanks TechWriter would like to add your link to Quick Tips with other AC information If you do not mind.
The view of the ducts look pretty shallow must be angle of picture.
Thanks again.
