Darren,
I suspect that someone at Suburban would be able to tell you why they included what might appear to be unnecessary extra length in the housing there; I suspect that they didn't do it just for the fun of it as everything in RVs involves small spaces and most anyone would favor purchasing the smallest available unit.
When
Escape had to accomodate a different model (brand?) heater in our model 21 a few years back, they basically moved the heater to different location in the trailer to accommodate the changed dimensions.
If a different location is not an option, then I strongly suspect that adding a "collar" or whatever it takes to make up the extra inch and a half is going to be the safe answer.
But, that's just my suspicions; talk to Suburban.
