HOW TO INSTALL A FIAMMA ROOF VENT – PEUGEOT BOXER VAN BUILD
So today was the day I had been dreading. Installing the first of two Fiamma 40×40 roof vents to my Peugeot Boxer. I created a cardboard template as per the measurements, marked up the location and cut through the roof to expose the area. The area that I had cut was then treated and I used some Mastic Sealing strips around the area before fitting & sealing with some Sikaflex and some self taping screws to secure and hopefully watertight the whole area. Fingers crossed it’s all watertight now and I’ll make a wooden surround for when I get to the cladding of the ceiling part. Now just to await for the 352 watt solar panel to arrive, fit & secure that to the roof and then I can install the second roof vent to the rear of the vehicle. I’ll leave some links below to the items I used for fitting of the Fiamma Vent for you.

Good video but I'd honestly be a bit worried about that lasting more than a couple of seasons. Sealant on top of Butyl won't adhere and the amount of Butyl applied there isn't quite sufficient. I did a similar job with the same skylight and it gave out in January. It's really worth getting it right, once a leak gets in it's a disaster. All the surfaces should be meticulously cleaned with white spirit and meths. You also need to use the wider Butyl rubber strips and layer them up until you've got a perfect flat surface for the sky light flanges to contact when you place it on. Then when you screw down firm and you'll create a proper long lasting 'over pressure gasket'. Trim the excess that gets squeezed out (give it a 4-5 hours) Then you can finally trim the edges and point with a decent bead of Sikaflex 512. Done.
Interesting video, Come to our channel sometime.
Can not wait to see the final awesome van.
Great work. I’m always nervous whenever we talk about putting holes in our rig. You made that look easy!
Hi Rob i came across your channel a while back now as i was researching Citroen dispatch conversions , i would be interested in your opinions of the dispatch, i only want to use mine as a camper not to live in.
i have just subscribed and will be watching your new conversion, you have done some good work already i see, cant wait to see more of your adventures in the new van.
Looking good just have to wait for the rain to test it now.
Looks like it went in smoothly, did you not have to make a box or anything to screw in the inside part?
It's taking shape hun, love to you and Archie xx
You made that look so easy. Give Archie a big cuddle from me. Hopefully I'll meet you out on the road one day if you're back up my way and I can give him a cuddle myself
You looked fairly cool up there, when I fitted mine it was pretty stressful!
Well done bruv, van is looking good x
You should be resting , but I have to say your pretty good at this , just take it easy lots of love to both of you onward &Upwards xxx
