I was thinking of having the hot water plumbed to the pressure washer, the electric run to a separate outlet and the washer mounted in the basement.
That way, all I have to do is open the basement, pull out the hose and turn on the pressure washer. No hooking up necessary. No carrying a heavy pressure washer either.
I had this same idea three years ago when we purchase our present rig. I have the room and, tying it into the water system would be easy. All I'd have to do after that is, get a longer pressure hose for the nozzle.
But, I think you'll have a good thing when your done. I want it for rinsing off the coach in places like the back corner of a Walmart parking lot or, any other open, out of the way area because as all of us know, about 99.9999999% of the camp grounds out there do not allow for washing of coaches unless it's a business that details them and comes into the park. I've carried my little Karcher 1200 psi unit for about that long and have used it several times. The water pump keeps up with it just fine.
It will run off the inverter but, most of the time, when we're in the corner of parking lot or, even out at a rest stop where there's no one else for me to bother, I'll run the generator to power it up. It really works slick. I use maybe, 5-8 gallons of water for the whole coach.
So, OP, I think you've got a good plan. Not sure you need the hot water. The pressure side will work just fine for you. Your choice.
