S6 VAN CONVERSION KIT
HOW TO INSTALL
Below we’ve documented all the information you’ll need to install your Fresair DIY style. You’ll find a digital copy of the owner’s manual, a parts list, recommended tools to use as well as step-by-step installation customized specifically for van conversions.
Please note the S8 unit installation process is identical to that of the S6 installation process, therefore, you may notice S6 unit content being used to illustrate the S8 installation process.
Please read the instructions thoroughly prior to installing the Fresair unit. We are not responsible for damages and/or improper installation due to user error.
Prep Tip: It is very important that the roof surface is clean to ensure a weather-tight seal between the base of the Fresair unit and your roof. Take time to determine where you wish to install your Fresair. Ensure that the unit is placed between roof support bars so you don’t compromise roof integrity. Plan how the internal harness will run to power and reservoir.
