Roof Support?

I was wondering if anyone knew if the front vent on a 34 foot a FlagStaff would support adding a second AC unit there? I was looking into upgrading to 50amp service and add a second non-ducted unit in the front bedroom.
  • I ended up going to Lowes today and buying this stuff and putting it on all the back windows of the RV.

    If its not braced then it wont support the weight of an AC. Bracing on most manufacturers are only optional of 50amp service 5th Wheels and are labaled as Braced openings. There is no way to tell if there is appropriate bracing unless you strip the ceiling. You should consider rigging up a in room AC.


    I was thinking that. But there's not a lot of room in the front room for one to sit. I wonder if it would over heat.
