Align the outdoor RV air conditioner over the 14 ¾ inch roof opening and gasket. Lift and place it carefully without sliding to prevent gasket damage and air or water leaks. How is an RV air conditioner ALIGNED on the roof? Place the outdoor AC unit over the roof opening and gasket, making sure the four mounting bolts align with the corners of the 14 ¾ × 14 ¾-inch hole. Set it down gently without sliding to avoid damaging the gasket or causing air and water leaks. Positioning the Rooftop Unit Before setting the unit in place, double-check that the gasket lies flat and makes full contact with the roof surface. Aligning the Opening Lift and adjust the outdoor unit until the bolt holes align with the 14 ¾ × 14 ¾ inch (360 × 360 mm) opening. Avoid pushing or dragging the unit across the gasket, as this can cause misalignment or seal failure. From inside the RV, verify that all four corners sit evenly against the opening to confirm a proper seal . Corky Lorenz November 4, 2025

Fittonia nerve plants are considered non toxic to cats according to the ASPCA. Learn what this means for cat owners, what mild reactions are possible, and when to use trusted plant toxicity resources. Is Fittonia toxic to cats? Fittonia (also called nerve plant) is not toxic to cats according to the ASPCA’s plant toxicity database. It’s considered non-toxic, but ingestion may still cause mild stomach upset if your cat chews on it. Your cat isn’t going to be poisoned by Fittonia. I have two cats, and I’ve owned this plant before; it has never caused issues in my home. The ASPCA lists Fittonia as non-toxic to both cats and dogs, which is the most widely accepted and cited authority for pet-safe plant information. Even with non-toxic plants, cats may occasionally vomit or have mild irritation just from chewing foliage, so placing the plant out of reach is still helpful if your cat likes to graze. If you want a reliable external reference for checking other plants, the ASPCA Plant Toxicity list is one of the best resources for pet owners looking up safe and unsafe species.
