Dometic CF-50 fits easily in V berth with filler cushion removed. Height almost same as bunk height and refrig will support our weight as we enter/depart berth. We have never used this area for the head. It is kept on deck during day and placed just inside cabin door at night.

Contents of frig easy to access. Lid can be quickly removed and turned to open from either side. It is so quiet when running it does not disturb our sleep at all. I plan to run the unit on 12v DC and have installed a 35a converter to keep house batt charged while not underway when AC is available from either shore power or gen.

Original window was removed and could be reinstalled at any time. No screw holes were placed in either the enterior or exterior walls; the screws go into a 3/4in plywood panel cut to fit in the window opening not occupied by the AC to hold the interior panel in place. The exterior panel is glued to that 3/4in plywood and thus the interior and exterior panels are pulled together by tightening the screws.

Exterior view of AC. Exterior panel above AC is cut to the same size as the original window and painted white. A cover for the AC will be made in the future. View of the shelter, constructed for a previously owned pontoon boat did not allow enough overhead clearance to consider a roof top AC.

The extended run setup requires the fuel to be drawn only 28in, well within the 36in possible lift according to other posts. With the gen in eco mode, the RPM raises very little when the AC kicks on. The gen is very quiet! The original Honda fuel cap was modified by screwing a 1/4in m-f 90 degree fitting into the cap in place of the vent. Atwood sprayless connectors are used on both ends of fuel line and on both tanks. These connectors seal both the tanks and the fuel line when line is removed. The tie down strap is slightly loosened when the gen is running to allow the engine feet to better cushion the gen.
