Mr Wiz, brass adapters are included with the fixture. They bring the spacing from 6 " to a little over 4", not quite 4". Then you pull original PEX pipes in the wall slightly wider to match the adapters. Here is the video that explains the install:
Thermostatic Shower Valve Install.
I don't know why you need access from the other side of the wall, maybe your plumbing is different.
He already had the "box" on the wall, many trailers don't, I know people had to cut the PEX pipes shorter and use Shrakbite fittings.
If I set water heater lower, I will need to mix more hot water in, and will run out of hot water sooner. Unless I misunderstood Time2roll.
