No, the seal is visible from the outside only, but the bolts are on the inside.

1 inch square tubing. Screwed to the wall framing. While I wouldn't hold a barn dance up there, I watched factory service techs move around on it several times last week..

Furpod do you know the size of the aluminum framing on the roof I am curious to know how strong it might be? And how is the aluminum supporting the roof attached to the sides? I always wandered about that when I have been on the roof cleaning and maintaining the AC. David

FYI.. the top center section of the roof is framed in aluminum, just like the walls and floor. I specifically asked at the factory last week. The front and rear radius are not, but the flat area of the roof is. And the A/C area is boxed completely..

So you can see the seal from inside once the vent cover is off then. Gotcha. I watched the tech team tighten those 4 bolts but was outside the Pod and wasn't sure if this seal was internal or external. I can easily check it out then. Thanks again Tech!

You could hire yourself out to do r-pod work, Grant, if you ever run out of things to do!

I have cleaned the insides before but took the cover off to clean the coils on the roof because of the sand storms over the last three years that we had while camping in AZ. With the unit always running when the storms would come in I was surprised at how little dirt and dust there was under the cover. Blew everything out with the air hose but really did not even need to mess with it. The inside gets far dirtier that the outside. Goose
