Please share your experience as you progress.

I have not ordered yet but am in the process. Asked a RV repair shop for an estimate and other details before placing my order.

We will most likely be behind you as we want to install the 9500 BTU unit which is out of stock… So, look forward to reading your experience.

Thank you! 31" should be enough. The total length of the RecPro AC is 39.5" and The portion on the vent is 13.5-14". The remainder is well short of 31"...

Many thanks for resolving this concern...

Looks very good. Am I right in understanding that the AC would be installed on top of the raised while vent and there are 39" following that?

Have you looked at this... A bit pricey - like 3x the Houghton 9500 cost. Slightly noisier - max 60 dBa vs 56 dBa for Houghton. On the plus side, lighter and supposedly runs on 12v and is intended...
