After 3 years of saying we'd probably never want a washer/dryer in our rig, we installed a washer/dryer in our rig. We got the Splendide 2100XC (vented model). I put in a drain pan and used pex to run the drain line down the door side raceway to under our dresser where it does a 90 down through the floor and into the LP tank area. It is routed in there away from the LP tank. I still need to put something over the end of the line to prevent critters from making a home in it and also to put something around the hole where it exits from under our dresser (expanding foam?).
Vent hole drilled from inside.
Drilling the outside half. Blue painter's tape used to prevent chipping the fiberglass.
Vent complete. (All they had in stock was white, but it is paintable. Probably going to shoot it with either black or dark brown).
Test-fitting the pan and drain lines.
Drain line exit in LP tank area.
Finished installation and first cleaning run in progress.
Couple of notes. Even though this unit weighs around 140 lb., Val and I were able to get it up the outside steps using the flattened box as a ramp, then sliding it up the inside steps to the landing at the bedroom. Since it is only about 21" deep, turned sideways it will make it through the bedroom door and between the foot of the bed and the dresser. We only had to temporarily remove one door handle from our dresser door to make sure it would slide by.
Special thanks to Erika Dorsey who texted a bunch of tips and tricks to us based on their recent installation of the same unit in their former Elkridge.
