Skylight
Skylight
(Work in progress)
The Skylight is designed for a 30mm RV roof thickness, so the 3D printed gasket needs to not only flatten out the roof curve, but also provide the thickness for the skylight to grip on to. I also CNC cut an aluminum ring to back the underside of the plastic gasket to give the skylight clamps something solid to grip on.

The heat pump was cumbersome and took too much prime floor space. My first choice would be to replace it with a mini-split, but budget required I go up top with a Velit 2000R Mini. It expects a 14" square hole, which on my Transit fits tightly between the C & D pillars.
I was anxious to cut my first hole in the roof. It was calming to use a trusty tool handed down to me from my folks ...
... and to measure the 14" square with my 1980s Commodore 14" ruler. Note the 3D printed gasket to provide a flat top surface on the curved transit roof.
Using a 1970s tool means there are four red buttons, none of which are for safety!

... and the back. Note that the support standoffs are not centered, so are marked for "D"river and "P"assenger side.

Until I add solar panels, I see no need to add a roof rack.
