AC seal for the curved roofs

I am going to install a 2nd AC in the current 14x14 vent in the back bedroom of my trailer. I just remembered, my trailer has one of those curved roofs. The vent is in the center of the trailer. Do I have to consider a special seal kit for this or will a standard seal kit work?


thanks

The OEM seal will be just fine.

The air conditioner does not sit on the roof. It sits on a square frame that protrudes from the roof from the 14 x 14 opening.

When I installed my Dometic Brisk II A/C there was only a 14x14 opening and no frame. Is this square protruding frame only on curved surfaces, probably for mounting a vent, etc.???

Use the standard seal. My roof is curved and all of the 3 units I have are mounted on the roof with no raised curb. No issues.
