Stand alone portable dishwasher?

"Thunder Mountain".....I know adding a built-in like the FisherPaykel may seem daunting, but it's pretty easy. The only difficult work would be the wood work. I was asked to install one in a Newmar that didn't have one. I started thinking about the fittings, especially for the drain and it seemed nightmarish until I looked at mine. There is actually a drain pipe piece that replaces your current under sink elbow that directly connects the drain on the Fisher. The water is already there and they use a 110 volt out for power.

So the only work would be to frame out the new one.

We really love our F/P. We add dishes and plates for about three days and then run it in the evening. It is sooooo quiet, you can't hear it run. It actually uses less water than washing by hand. We're not lazy, but often dishes sat in the sink until after dinner. Now they go directly into the washer until it's full.

Since your coach is new, also think about Winnebago just making you any wood work you might need, like a frame or cabinet door.

Thanks for the reply. I installed a Vesta in our '07 Endeavor. It was a snap. The wood working was the easiest part. We loved having squeaky clean plates.

The sink in our 2016 Journey is stationary. There is no way to put a dishwasher under the stove in the full wall slide. I can't get the drain line to the gray line. In the other kitchen slide, I would loose all our under cabinet space. The drain and water line would also be a challenge. We have a small cart we use for the coffee maker. The foot print of the stand alone dishwasher is not all that much bigger, and we can put the coffee maker on top of it.
