Washer/Dryer combos

We didn't get the vented and I had read that we "should" but we only plan on keeping this unit for 2 years and then we'll upgrade to one with a real washer/dryer. So I guess it wasn't the money since I see used ones don't cost much but the venting...well changing a light bulb in this house (as DH would say "Do you do your own taxes?" is a challenge so Paying to have it vented wasn't a cost we wanted for just two years. We'll see what happens. We tried it in our bathroom and it was great.

I have the vented Splendide vented model. It was in when I bought. Almost never used, until me. Again, don't try to make it do your way, but master it's way of working. Much better serenity in life.

Hi. Definitely check CL for the Splendide 2100xc vented unit.
We just picked one up last month for $250 that was barely used.
We checked the serial number on it and it was manufactured in 2012.
You can go online and there is a cross reference there to find out the date.
Also, Splendide has a scratch and dent dept. You could call and check if
they have any. Some RV Surplus stores have them too.
The scary part is installing it. It is still sitting in the 5r living room because I am freaking out about cutting a 4" hole in the side of the fifth wheel! Plus we are waiting for the temperature here to drop below 100 degrees.
We bought the vent, tubing, and hold down brackets on Amazon.
Good luck

LOL, we hope to trade ours in in 2 1/2 years (but who is counting) No really we love it but I wanted a 1/2 bath, the bedroom is too small..you know how it goes. So now we are thinking on not spending a lot of money and getting these $200 units that will do the job for our little stuff.

We bought our fifth wheel used and it had the Splendide in it already. We are not full timers so really didn't want it. Friends said keep it a year and see if you use it. If not, take it out and sell it We just returned from a two week trip and it was really nice to have. Would I get one again? Not sure unless I was retired and on the road more often.

DW wanted the combo since that is what our coach has a space for. We gave up the storage to have it put in. As everyone knows, "If Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!" We are all happy here :) She absolutely loves not going to seek out the laundromat, schlepping all our clothes and supplies to and from, spending 2 or 3 hours in a hot, often dirty place in a bad part of town. I, of course, had to go with her so it's a win win situation. There was a brief learning curve and some wrinkled loads but now she has the system down and loves being able to do the laundry in her pajamas if she wants!

DW never wanted a W/D onboard. After 11 years we bought a coach that had stacked W/D already installed. After a bit of a learning curve I don't think we will ever be without again.

You want the vented 2100XC and recently there were three in the East for $375 to $600 on Cragslist. It would help if you added where you live to your SIG as this is the only one I found today. The other two were on Ebay and they must have sold as they are no longer listed.
Other than being fairly heavy it's something you can do yourself.

X-2, you'll be glad you have it.

We had one installed in our coach and love it. Of course you'll have to understand how to 'load' and 'use' it because you'll hear lots of people complain about wrinkles, the time it takes to do a load, etc. but once you've mastered the 'right sized load' and the 'right amount of time' it takes, you'll find you use it quite a bit. Don't expect it to be your front load you have at home, but think of it as a way to get fresh towels and swim suits while on the road...you'll find you love it too! Ours is the vented 2100XC Washer-Dryer combo. Great for the price but go on to Craigslist or eBay...someone is always looking to get rid of or upgrade theirs!
