Coleman's spring pad package fixes that. The high-density open-cell foam keeps steady tension on the mounting bolts so the AC stays put and stays sealed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Coleman spring pad package is a small part that solves a specific, annoying problem on rooftop RV air conditioner installs. Some coach roofs are just plain slick. The membrane is smooth, the mounting surface has almost no grip, and even after you torque the AC down with normal gasket tension the whole unit can still shift position on the roof. This high-density open-cell foam pad rides under the unit and keeps steady spring tension on the mounting bolts so the air conditioner settles in and stays where you put it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll want it on any install where the roof surface is extremely smooth. That's usually a newer coach with a clean single-ply membrane, or a roof that's been recently recoated. On those roofs the standard gasket compresses and then relaxes a hair as the RV heats, cools, and flexes down the highway. That tiny bit of relaxation is enough to let the unit walk over time. The spring pad takes up that slack. It stays compressed and springy, feeding constant pressure back into the bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstall is straightforward and happens during the AC mounting, not after. The foam goes between the unit and the roof so it works with the gasket, not against it. You set the air conditioner down, run the bolts, and bring them to the tension Coleman calls for. The pad does the rest, holding that tension through the seasons instead of letting it bleed off. If you're pulling an old unit and dropping in a replacement, it's a smart cheap add while you've already got the roof open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho's this for? Anyone mounting or remounting a Coleman rooftop air conditioner on a smooth roof, or anyone chasing a unit that won't stay seated. It's not a gasket and it's not a replacement for one. Think of it as insurance against a shifting AC and a leak down the road. If you're not sure whether your roof needs it, a very smooth or freshly coated surface is the tell. When in doubt, add it. It's cheap peace of mind for a part that's a pain to get back to once the trip starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"nvn-features\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-density open-cell foam that stays compressed and springy for long-term tension\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKeeps steady pressure on the AC mounting bolts so the unit won't shift\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuilt for installs on extremely smooth or freshly coated RV roofs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWorks with the existing roof gasket, not as a replacement for it\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInstalls during the air conditioner mounting, between the unit and the roof\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGenuine Coleman part sized for rooftop RV air conditioner installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-trust\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from NVN Marine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eAuthorized Coleman reseller, full manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNMEA member and ABYC certified, advice from real boat techs\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSame-day shipping before 3 PM ET on in-stock items\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eNY headquarters and Fort Lauderdale flagship retail store\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"nvn-faq\"\u003e\n  \u003cdetails\u003e\n    \u003csummary\u003eWhat does this spring pad actually do?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eIt keeps steady tension on the air conditioner's mounting bolts.
