Thanks to you guys they got back to me:
"Hello Robert, the maximum distance between the CU-100 and the evaporator is 15'. We no not recommend or warranty anything over that length. You will need to get them closer together, the evaporators can be ordered with 7.5' and 15' line sets. 1 extension could be added to a 7.5' line set. P/N for 5' extension is C9617-RC4. I hope this will you.

I followed up with phone call and he was helpful in mainly suggesting moving it closer.  I get that moving it closer would be ideal BUT on my 2001 34c it has such a nice stock integrated location that doesn't interfere with anything else that relocating it just doesnt seem to be a smart option.  I will look, but I don't want to glass in a new shelf or mount it inside what is already limited storage space in aft cabin. 

This was first post in forum and you guys were a great help!  thanks again

YEA!!! I got a reply.  "I am out of office until June 8th" hahahaha.  Well I did get his email right so thank you for your assistance! I'm sure he will get back to me and this well all get done!

I got a call back from local distributor who said it was $300!??  For a 5 foot tube with couplers?  Sadly The email jacobprince@dometicusa.com came back undeliverable

Hummmmmmmm..... anyone know where to get this Extension Kit, or the part no.?  I called Dometic Co. (their web page has nada), they didn't have a part number list but gave me list of local distributors.  I called one of them and they asked for the part number......  Yea not getting anywhere fast ;)

Thank you very much for your reply and advice!!!!

received quote from local Marine AC company to replace stock unit with a Capri 50 condenser w/ 250b vertical evaporator/ digital thermostat + parts and labor+ $2,900.00

I've priced the adler barbour cu-100 condenser and vd-150 vert evap for total of about $1,300.00

I'm reasonably handy.  It would seem since it's just replacing the old to be a straightforward thing?  No rewiring of electrical required, just unbolt old condenser, bed new and re-attach wires for power.  Same goes for the evap.  Especially true with quick connectors that are pre-charged.   The majority of work would seem to be just running the tubing.  Has anyone done this?  Am I going to be in WAY over my head?  I am going to go measure the distance because the condenser is located on starboard side under cockpit lazaret.  I would hope its less than 15 feet but my calibrated eyeball says it might be close.
