Installing a Splendide

[Don Bradner]

I've found that having/using a washer/dryer in an RV is somewhat controversial.
Just today, a gentleman I met said that, while his was plumbed for one, he would
never install one because his wife says "I don't go on vacations to do laundry!"

I suspect my wife would do laundry on a vacation, but we really don't consider
ourselves "vacationers." We spend roughly 6 months out of each year traveling,
and sometimes going home is the vacation! In any case, Joy says that a
washer/dryer is absolutely required. Our first SOB was plumbed, and we installed
ourselves with the biggest issue being just getting it in. Our second (most
recent) had a factory-installed W/D.

As we looked at PT Birds for several months it appeared that most had
washer/dryers, although the majority were unvented - unacceptable but an easy
swap-out. Some had them in a bay, which I was informed by SWMBO was also
unacceptable. Ultimately we settled on one that had never had a W/D, and I had
explicit instructions that this MUST be rectified in fairly short order.

Yesterday and today were spent on this task. I wasn't willing to tackle it
entirely on my own, so I engaged a local RV repair outfit, and they got the sale
of the Splendide 2000S as well. I have a good relationship with them, and they
are quite willing for me to work with them, which both reduces my bill and keeps
me completely in the loop.

I knew there were a lot of complications, primarily just getting one to fit. The
only possible location was the closet in the bathroom, seen on the left in this
picture: http://www.arcatapet.net/travel/images/9...3725-1.jpg with its
two sliding glass doors. In the back right-hand corner of the closet is a trace
containing the vent for the black tank. Behind the drawers, the drain from the
kitchen enters that vent line, so we felt comfortable adding the washer effluent
to the line as well. The main problem was clearance, both side-to-side, and
front to back. Side-to-side the door would not open far enough to clear the left
side of the W/D. The left side has to be clear, because the soap tray is flush
against that side and must have room to be pulled out. This problem was solved
by removing obstructions on the left door that stopped the right from fully
opening. A vertical piece of plywood (carpet covered), the "button pusher" for
the closet light, and the cover over the back of the latch. All peeled off with
lots of trepidation about breaking the glass.

Front to back clearance was not adequate because of the square trace around the
vent pipe. That was removed and cut off at the top of the W/D, at which point we
could just squeeze the unit in. We would have preferred the larger Splendide
2100, but the extra inch of depth was prohibitive.

A 16-inch square hole was cut in the floor of the closet to facilitate access to
the hot/cold water pipes, and braces were added below to support the cutout when
it was replaced. After that is was a pretty straightforward install of plumbing,
wiring, and dryer vent. I ended up with a cost, including Calif tax, of about
$1450 for the W/D, plumbing parts, and labor. I think I probably saved about
$500 by participating, and I know exactly how it is installed if anything goes
wrong.

I'm sure you will do well, just don't be in a hurry for the "dry" cycle to end.
It never does.MH

Mike,

When someone suggested that the dryer vent can only be opened with
air pressure up, I tried it. While the switch will move and the
warning light illuminate, it will not open and close without air
pressure.

So, I aired up , opened the vent and tried the w/d that way. Much
faster on the dry cycle but still lots longer than a home dryer.
However, given that we use the w/d occasionally for special loads,
this is much more satisfactory than when the vent was 'closed.'

Whoa ... that was quite a job. As for the un-vented dryer, I'm told
that (some) do have vents -- that it's behind the rear wheels on the
street side (if the floor plan has the washer more or less on the
driver's side). But, the vent uses coach air pressure to open --
which might explain the less than stellar performance when we tried
out the Splendide in our coach. (By the time we were using the washer/
dryer, the air was down.)

The next time it's convenient, we'll try another load or two -- with
the air up -- and see if there's any improvement. (I haven't had time
to try to poke around behind the wheels to see if there is a vent and/
or if it is clogged up in some way.)

Still, considering the miniscule washer load and even smaller dryer
load, using several washers/dryers at one time in a laundromat seems
more time effective -- but "the boss" will make her own determination.

Of course, "vacation" is one thing, but full or semi-full time living
is quite another.

Just some info about our Splendide/combo. It is vented on the curb side, does
not need bus air to operate, and the wife uses it every other day or so while on
the road. There are three children and the two of us. She hasn't grown anymore
gray hairs over the Splendide and to date has not visited a Laundromat. It seems
to work fine.

Could be - it certainly wouldn't dry with the vent closed!

That is part of what makes the choice controversial. Joy would do just about
anything to avoid sitting around a laundromat somewhere for an hour or two.
Loads run every day or nearly every day take very little time (for the person,
not for the W/D!) and just part of her routine. I know one full-timer who
particularly enjoys the social aspect of laundromats.

Agreed. No problem carrying clothes for a week or two and washing nothing.

Why not. We have found a secondary benefit because ours is plumbed into the
black tank.. We rarely have level readings that are incorrect.

Why not, indeed? I've seen some coaches (Prevost, mostly) with a
'compact' stacked washer and dryer. These seemed to be "apartment-
sized" models.

The downside is that they would take much more room (and probably use
more water -- but thats not a problem when you have shore connections).

A 220V dryer would require a minimum of 50A service. If you get a
gas dryer, you can make it work on propane with the appropriate
burner adjustments.

Why can't a small household washer/dryer be used in the coach?
I removed a propane furnace from the back closet and the LP line is still there
along with the exhaust vents. Plumbing can be connected thru the floor. I'm
considering a European style unit where it washes and dries in a single unit.
