I have a 2008 Palomino Bronco B1500, I would like to know if I need to do anything special to add a Coleman Polar Cub 9000 BTU air conditioner? All the info I could find says the unit is "Roof Air Ready", so I would think I would be good to go, just want to be sure I don't need to add any bracing to the roof?
Thanks

The PC is about 90#s and will go over a standard 14" vent hatch. The key is your power source. I had a Sunlite PU that a guy put a huge 13.5 btu unit on and ran the power alone the ceiling down to a receptacle he installed in the refer outside box access. That unit was very heavy and you always had to keep a hand on the ceiling when raising and lowering. Otherwise, the lift was too strenuous for the small gear and was a potential strip failure and when lowering, the ceiling would crash down on your head. I guess that's the "extra bracing" - your head.
I have the same camper and was told by my dealer that a 9000 btu would be a good choice - the rearward vent is pre-wired with AC (pun intended) power so it should be an easy install. (I do not have A/c)
