Residential W/D?

Forgive me if this has been asked before, our FW is equipped with W/D hookups. It's spec'd for side by side but I imagine an all in one or stackable would work too. As we shop for them, does it have to be an RV specific set, or can residential units be modified to use? And how do they get them in the RV to install them? Going to be a pretty tight fit getting it in the door and up the hallway into the hookups in the bedroom closet.

    I think if you tried to use a residential it would be too heavy, the electrical set up in mine is for 110, not 220 so a residential electric dryer would not work, might have to take out a big window to get it in, at least that is what I was told about a fridge. And the footprint of the unit might be too big. I think you would have to do smaller loads so you have plenty of hot water and don't fill your black (or gray?) tank too quickly.
