Did mine this last winter, was not too bad. I did have a forklift to use to get mine to the roof. My main is a Dometic but I did a Coleman for the front because I'd heard they were more reliable and quieter. It was pretty straightforward, I bought the heat pump unit and the backup electric heat strip which was a bit tricky to install in the unit (manual was garbage), but otherwise wasn't an issue. I'd recommend a roll of HVAC tape to seal everything up when you're doing it.

It's hard to say because the bedroom is a lower ceiling than the living room, but I think so. I absolutely love the heat pump. We had a couple of cold snaps in May and early June and between the fireplace and heat pump we didn't need to run the furnace at all.

Yeah no problem. I bought everything from rvupgradestore. They were super easy to deal with and helped me match the parts I needed for the thermostat and electric heat. My main unit had concealed damage, they shipped me a new one that I got the next day in advance of me even sending the old one back.

Yeah they were really good to work with and had a great price when I ordered mine.
No heat options would greatly simplify the install. You'll still need to mount the control board inside the unit, but not having to hook up the electric heat will make it easier. Also with no heat it's a cheaper thermostat.2018 Reflection 28BH

I have the Mach 8 Plus and it's 15000 btu. I figured if my main unit died down the road I wanted it to have enough capacity to cool as well as the main until I got it replaced. I went with the 8 just to keep my height down as much as possible.
On my rig I had to shim the back of the unit some because the roof starts sloping down to the front at the bedroom skylight. I had some old rubber bumpers laying around I cut down and used.2018 Reflection 28BH
