BECOMING SELF SUFFICIENT











My starship is real cool and had everything i needed - except a washer & dryer! I am not much of a laundromat kind of guy and wanted to feel competely self sufficient -so i took on installing a unit in my RV. There is a combo unit made by Splendide that seemed to be everybodies favorite as long as you got the vented model.

Installation was kind of a major production what with making space, installing a drain pan, adding a new electric circuit, creating a drain to gray water tank, and running hot and cold water lines! Oh and don't forget about cutting the hole in the side of the RV for the vent! I did learn about a new plumbing method called PEX that use lock rings that i think is pretty cool and will use again. Anyway, fourth picture is first load, with no leaks! Glad that is done!
