Carl, yes, it’s common to install these under seating or cabinetry. The key is airflow - make sure you leave at least 1” clearance around the unit and don’t block the return air. The # DMC99MR also has removable knockout panels that let you add or change duct connections, so you can set up the airflow similar to your Suburban’s layout.
Do you have a jack-knife sofa, or is it more of a built-in frame? For others who’ve tucked these under furniture - how’s the noise level for you?
FYI, this furnace is also available with a Black Door # DMC64MR or a Doorless Setup # DMC74MR. Doorless would only be if you don't already have a service door on the outside of the RV for the furnace.
