2016 371REBH Vented Washer Dryer Install

Hey... Here's a few pictures from the install on the vented washer dryer combo. I used the driver side dryer sticker as a guide to drill the hole.

I'm using a combo because I don't want to lose the room of two appliances

2016 371REBH Vented Washer Dryer Install

Hey, I ordered the camper with the generator prep. Just installed one this year and that is where it goes. The vent is the fresh air intake for the generator.

I don't have a picture but I installed a Onan Microquiet 4K gas.

Denali15, if your gen is a gas onan not an LP unit, then how do you feed it? Been wondering how to do that. LP uses too much but a build in would be far better for us.

Hey, I'll post some pictures of the gen install tonight.

Basically I built a shelf on top of the gen and I sit a boat gas tank on top.

what washer/dryer combo did you decide on? I have been looking at them for several weeks and can't really decide on which unit would be the best value

Hey, we got the pinnacle vented washer dryer combo. I had a splendide non vented combo before. It washed great but didn't dry 100%.

This one is nice since you can select the dry mode only

Here are the pictures of the generator. We ordered our camper with the generator prep. It had the wiring and the control panel already installed.

How quiet is the onan? Do you know how long that tank lasts?

It's fairly quiet. I bought a used one online for 1k. I also added 2" insulation inside the enclosure. You barely hear it inside with nothing running.

I imagine the 6 gallon tank would last 10-14 hours under full load. Probably 20 or so if your not using the AC.

I could of gotten a bigger tank but this one was good enough for our needs.

Hey,

I purchased the Pinnacle 18-4000.

http://www.pinnaclecombos.com/?produ...-dryer-18-4000

I bought it used off Kijiji from someone that had it in their RV for 3 month or so. They sold their RV...

It works really good but still takes a bit longer to dry then a regular dryer.

Sorry. I meant the genset. Lol. I should have been a bit more specific.
