Tools & Materials Required
for Installation
Required Materials
1. Silicone or any suitable roof sealant. Contact your local RV
dealer or RV store for a recommendation on a sealant to suit
your specific RV roof material.
2. Anti-galling lubricant to prevent "thread galling" of all
stainless steel fasteners exposed to outdoor environment. This
should be available at most hardware or auto-parts stores. If
anti-galling lubricant is not available, any standard lubricant
will minimize the occurrence of "thread galling".
3. If wiring distances are longer than 20 ft. length of wire
provided with the kit, extra stranded copper wire will be
required. Wires should be 12 AWG or thicker, single conductor,
Type UF (Underground Feeder - marked as sunlight resistant),
Type SE (Service Entrance) or Type USE/USE-2 (Underground
Service Entrance). Alternatively, the following may be ordered
for additional 20 ft. extension:
• Solar Panel Connecting WIres Kit "SCW-20-2"
• Solar Panel Multi Contact Connectors "MC4-2"
