I bought a 12000 grain unit from AffordableWater.us and it fits in the cabinet behind the water bay. I installed a 5' line from the city water to the softener and then to a sediment filter and installed a brass hose quick connect to the filter.
In the bay, I mounted the softener to the back wall with some long velcro straps that hold it in place when traveling and allow it to be pulled out for recharging.
We are 3 weeks into the trip and it's still delivering soft water (2 people).
The unit is 18" high and isn't as heavy as I thought it would be compared to our household unit!
Recharging involves 4# of table salt but it is looking like I might get 6 weeks between recharges.
