Pop Top Roof Mounted Dometic B1900S

The only pop top roof mounted air conditioner suits pop-tops up to 16’6”.
The B1900S Air Conditioner provides a genuine alternative to internal fitting for Pop Top Caravans. The ability to mount it on the pop top roof solves the problem of where to fit the unit whilst maintaining valuable cupboard space inside the van.

When looking at the installation of a pop top roof air conditioner B1900S the following issues should be kept in mind:

• Strength of the pop-top roof frame. It may need reinforcement.
• Availability of 240Volt power on pop-top roof. Some roofs have 12V power only.
• Location of the air conditioning unit. In some instances lights or other fittings may need relocation.
• Are the pop top roof supports strong enough to carry the weight? The need to upgrade gas struts or lifters are common.
