I can definitely help you determine if the Jensen RV Stereo # JWM60A will work well as a replacement for the existing Drive unit in your 2018 Livin Lite RV, however without knowing exactly what model Drive stereo you have I won't be able to definitively compare the two units. Trailer manufacturers unfortunately don't typically make this kind of information available.
I will say though that because Jensen and Drive are two different manufactures, it's not going to be a direct replacement in terms of wiring. You will need to make hardwire connections when installing the new stereo. I have attached an image of the Jensen wiring configuration that you can use for reference.
In terms of overall size and the required cutout space, you will just want to compare the dimensions of the Jensen to your current Drive. The Jensen RV Stereo has overall dimensions of 10-7/16" wide, 7" tall, and 6-1/2" deep. It requires a cutout of 9" wide, 6" tall, and 5-1/2" deep.
If you can tell me what specific model Drive stereo you have in your trailer, or let me know its dimensions if they differ from the Jensen model, I will be happy to try and verify if this will work well or recommend a better alternative. I have attached a couple short video demonstrations as well.
