Installing a Splendide

[Pete Masterson]

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.
