Thanks for the information on different A/C mounting methods. This kinda explains why I was only able to tighten the bolts on both of mine a whole 1/4 turn. Now I'm curious to know if lag bolts means there's some kind of wood structure up there. All I can see inside the ceiling is aluminum super structure. It looks like all this framework is fabricated in-house,.....mig welded.
My guess is that if I ever drive under a low bridge and hook a A/C unit it'll probably total my motorhome. Scary
The Newmar Lag bolts hit Aluminum. That it is IMPORTANT to never apply too much torque to those lag bolts. You can easily strip out the aluminum and then have to go to a large diameter lag bolt. Doug
