Yes, it looks like a nice install. Have the same idea on my project list. DW is not so certain because she keeps hearing comments from people who used them years ago (meaning older units). Am obviously apprehensive about cutting the hole; and also carrying more weight. I finally creeped over 11 mpg after 25K total miles on the truck, and I know the more weight, the more power required. As the previous post mentioned, would like to see the outside vent if you would take the time to post. Also, many previous posters on the subject of Splendide washers have noted, they get good results from the combo unit. Would also like to hear your wash results as well. Additionally, did you install a weep drain tube to drain from the bottom pan, or do you simply expect to see residual water and soak it out?? thanx, gebills.
