Adding washer and dryer to FW

Our FW is prepped for a washer and dryer so I am thinking of adding them. In shopping for RV specific (not sure what makes it RV specific) they are expensive. So I started looking at apartment style W/D at big box stores. I don't want stackable as the I think the weight distribution needs to be spread out. The outlets are for 120V.

Is there any reason why models like this wouldn't work?

For the vent it looks like I need this:

    What makes a washer or dryer "RV-specific?" They operate on 120VAC and will fit in the space you have. We have Whirlpool stackables (vented dryer) since our fiver has a dedicated W/D closet designed for that configuration (and it's on the opposite side from the heaviest slides).

    It might take two hours to dry a load, but it will do the job.

    If you spend much time in a dry climate you can get by sans dryer.
