Washer/Dryer

[Kurt Horvath]

Just tiding up the coach, putting back in the rear wall of the washer
dryer closet and wondered dang it's still a bit musty. I just finished
vacuuming behind the Splende 2000 last week and had cleaned up
everything. I looked behind it once more. How did I miss that. The
drain from the washer goes into a pipe stand. There is no washer or
collar around it, it's just the washer drain tube stuck into a 1 ½"
black pipe. Lots of room to vent back into the closet. I found one
source of unpleasant odor. But that just lead to another question. When
was the last time anyone changed the water hoses for the washer? Near
as I can tell in my coach never. That would make them 13 years old.
Nearly triple the recommended service life. New stainless braided hoses
and a some sort of collar or vapor lock for the drain pipe. Now I need
to pull the machine out a bit just make sure the vent tube is OK,and to
install the new hoses. It did have some lint and was very dusty in
there. And the beat goes on, and the beat goes on. On and on.
