220V circuit for electric dryer

[Crespro]

Hello,

I have been looking at Class A coaches and a number of the new RVs have a stacked washer and dryer. The Ariston are fine with the 110V outlet, but if there were a 220V circuit, the apartment models (Samsung and others) would be an option.

For our electrical gurus -- is there a reason the RV builders do not include a 220V outlet with 50 amp service? Is this technically possible?

Thanks,

Crespro

High end units such as Newell have 220 Vac for the dryer and also for the stove. Been doing this since the 90's.

Yes, it is possible. Hi end Class A diesel builder's sometimes include a 220 circuit for a dryer. The 50 amp panel has the 2 separate 120 phase inputs to run the 220 circuit. You just have to run the wiring from the breaker panel to the Washer/Dryer closet. The reason the Builders do not include is COST. Lack of really needing a 220 dryer is the other. Doug
