Mini-split in compartment
Hi all, I'm in the planning stages of a Class C boondocker, loaded with solar panels, a big 24v battery, all that. I'd like to install a mini-split up near the front of the vehicle, so when the sun...

The typical Onan QG4000 (aka KY series) generator used in many/most class C motorhomes is 30" (long) x 19" (wide) x 14" (tall). A typical built-in propane tank is very roughly the same height once you include a mounting bracket/cage for the generator. I think you'd have difficulty with the height in most cases, and probably not have enough ground clearance to comfortably hang the unit down in such spaces. (Personally, I would not remove the generator or propane system, either; both are quite valuable for boondocking.)
An underbed storage compartment is about the only one that would be sufficiently tall on most class C's. It might also be practical to work something out in the cabover section if you're willing to give up that interior space. Also, it may be possible to "take over" some space above the floor and inside/underneath a sofa or dinette to get the necessary height; that would be highly dependent on the exact layout of your RV.
