I am just about finished installing in a Flame. I bet I have 60 hours in it. I built a shelf in the V area so I would still have some storage under the unit (6") for long items. I will take some pictures tonight.

Go to Domectic and download the install instructions. I pulled the water and power lines from the pump throught the far outside stringers.

Sorry it took so long. Picture of Water inlet. I installed it in the notch transom so it would not interfere with the trailer.

Here's how I put the filter and valve to the front of the engines so it could be serviced. The pump is under the batteries.

I installed three vents for supply. 1 in the V berth, a 4". Two 3" on each side of the seats. I used the cup holders to the cockpit side of the seats for holes. I used 3 & 4 inch flexible metal duct and wrapped it with a 1/4" foam insulation and aluminum wrap.

I installed the controls behind the passenger side seat in the cabin toward the V berth

I cut a hole in the V berth under the cushion to get the unit in. I took some 1/4" aluminum and made holders to keep the piece I cut as an access. 50 Hours total to install. It is tight as you know what in there,
