   I used Panasonic FV-04VE1 in my tiny house. Works great. Quiet. Efficient. Good value.

   Panasonic does not advise (and at least one user here has had electrical problems) installing the FV-04VE1 in a moist environment (like a bathroom). Corbet did "hack" one, installing a 3" hole so the fresh air supply could be routed outside the unit, and you could likely do the same for return air. The core is not efficient on that ERV though...in the 50% range when temps approach freezing.

   You should watch this tiny house series from Corbett Lunsford on Youtube. He built one as a test lab and toured the country with it.

   I would also read this article on tiny house design and build mistakes.

   I was recently in a secondary suite where the owner had installed a pair of Lunos E2 ventilators, I was a little surprised by how much noise they produce. The steady hum could drive me crazy, I would be installing them in a closet or other isolated area if it were me.

   As to Lunos ventilators, watch this video from Corbett Lunsford (somebody should interview him for this site).
