After studying the instructions for installing the Aero-Flow cover I climbed up to the roof of the T@B400 and found there was already a set of attachment points for a cover. Unfortunately they do not line up where the need to be for the Aero-Flow. Ugh. I sat and thought for a bit about this. I realized I had what I needed to make this work. The result is quite satisfactory and did not require any modifications to the T@B at all.


First off the mount points (tabs) on the T@B don't match the slots in the base of the Aero-Flow, so the base needs to be set off center of the Dometic cover. I chose to set mine to the inside of the outside edge tabs (door side of camper), and outside of the opposite tabs. 




In both cases there is a large gap between the mount and the base of the Aero-Flow. I could not use the clips and hardware which came it. To take up the space I used some spacers left over from mounting a large screen TV to a wall in my home.



On the door side I used a self tapping roofing screw with a spacer to secure the Aero-Flow.

    We ran into the same issue when we installed a non-Dometic cover on our old 320, trying to save some money. We'll buy the Dometic cover when we get around to this mod with our 400. :)

    The presence of the tabs on 320 CS was the reason we went with the Dometic although the Aero-flo has a nicer profile. Finding the particular model was a challenge.  Once found the installation was the easiest thing ever!

    @Slackers I thought about that, but like the nicer profile and the black.
