Site Preparation

To install on carpeted area you must install a metal or wood
panel under the water heater that extends at least 3 inches
beyond the width and depth of the unit. If water leakage can
result in damage to the adjacent area, install a drain pan that
can be drained to outside of the vehicle, under the water
heater.
Verify that a clearance of 1 inch will remain after installation
between the top surface of the water heater and any
combustible material. Zero inch clearance is acceptable for the
sides.
Make sure that the front edge of the opening is surrounded by
a solid frame to firmly anchor the water heater; if needed, build
an appropriate frame using 2" X 2" elements.
The rough opening for the F2GWH should be 13" X 13" with
right angle corners. The exterior wall opening must be the
same dimensions with no radius corners.
Ensure that electrical water and gas connections from the
vehicle are in place for installing the unit.
Allow sufficient length and flexibility in the electrical, water and
gas lines to reach the connections while the unit is partially
inserted into the opening.
