* There are two options for routing the hoses: through the tunnel or within the side walls. The kit contains only the fittings for the tunnel option (which needs "Z" adapters for the condenser; for routing in the side walls, you need plain 90 degree adapters on the condenser). Specify which routing you want when ordering. Airflow will exchange the Z fittings for 90 degree ones on request however they are made to order and it takes several weeks. | * There are two options for routing the hoses: through the tunnel or within the side walls.

*Note: If you use the [https://www.aerosportproducts.com/product/rv-10-interior-panels-2/ Aerosport interior panels], keep in mind that the recessed area for maps / the cup holder occupies the space between the panel and the outer skin which is separated by U-profiles all around, where you would probably want to route the hoses through. There is room for one hose all the way on the top but a modification to the right side panel is need if you run the second hose underneath it. | |||

* Reduced barrier hoses, which are used for ACs, have a second liner on the inside of the hose to keep the gas from leaking. To protect the inner liner, the hose will go onto the fitting very easily, even with a bit of slack, this is normal. The hose sits tight on the center barb after the crimp. | |||
