Washer/dryers

We are planning on buying a washer and dryer. Where do you recommend we get it?
should we have the dealer install it or can someone else do it?
  • Try PPL motor home, I got mine for under $1000 and did the install myself. You want a vented washer dryer so the moisture goes out not inside the RV. I did the install on the road, I carried everything I needed except the 4" hole saw.

  • Love our combo Splendide. Works very well. Just be ready for the shaking of your rig during the spin cycles!

    I tried a tripod under the kingpin and it was a waste of $$$. Wound up giving the junk away as it was not worth the effort to set it up.

    On the ventless driers, they do not put moisture into the RV. They use a bit of fresh water to cool a condenser inside the drier. The moisture collects on the condenser and then the water goes to the waste tank. So if you do not wave water and sewer, you will use your fresh water and help fill the gray tank.

  • Been using a Whirlpool stack for many years. There is no vibration when running. Ours is installed in bath area roughly mid trailer. Can't vision not having one. Good luck.

    I bought an LG combo washer/dryer that is ventless. I have mixed feelings on it. As a washer it is second to none! The dryer takes some getting use to. When you take the clothes out they will "feel" like they are somewhat damp. But if you just let them sit for a few minutes they tend to evaporate the damp feeling.

    Let me get this straight...

    Take the clothes out of the dryer and then ignore them for some period of time?

    Many of us have been practicing this technique for decades.
