I don't have the same trailer as you, but installed my washer and dryer myself.
Do a lot of careful measuring inside and outside as well. On mine I could measure from the window on both sides.
When you do drill, like you said a small hole first...... I had to move the center of the hole about 1/2" to have enough room to miss molding on outside of rv.
It's not as bad as it seems......
Then you can double check with the 4" hole saw before you use it to make sure all is good.
And like you, I do NOT trust dealers!!
Good Luck
The above is right on the money on what I finally did. Here's the interior of the finished product-
As you can see the first location didn't work as there was part of the aluminum structure in the way. I then lowered it and checked to make sure nothing else was in the way, measured again and had to move over a little to avoid hitting the trim on the exterior. Drilled a small hole through the exterior and double checked that vent would hit anything out there.
And the exterior -
The exterior dryer vent was white from Lowes and I had some Dark Rubbed Metallic Bronze spray paint that matches the Cougar's bottom skirt perfectly.
Also, I posted this on two other Forums with little to no responses. I even sent Keystone an email asking to clarify their instructions and they told me to take the unit to an authorized dealer to do the work and sent me a copy of their warranty. I didn't expect anything different.
