3000RK Washing Machine Location
I have a 330RKBS Travel Trailer which is the same floor plan as the 3000RK 5th wheel. I want to install a flat screen TV where the current TV is located. I want to tear out the stereo from its location and relocate it above where the flat screen can be located. Has anyone done this before? Would you recommend trying this(I am no Ozz) or having the dealer install the unit. I know I don't have enough room for a stackable so it’s going to have to be the splendid combo unit.
Anyone been there done that have 2 cents worth?
Thanks
Phil

Sorry Okie, ain't been there, ain't done that. Are you wanting to put the W/D combo under the television? Our 3000RK has a W/D compartment next to the bedroom closet, maybe the RKBS doesn't??

Lonnie you are one of the lucky ones. My unit is a year too old for the w/d cabinet. In my unit ther is a the big space where the old style television is located. If I take out the tv and the stereo below it I think I can fit a w/d combo in this space. This would be the prime location because of the holding tanks. I also wouldn't have to run a couple miles of pipe to plumb the machine. The goal is to be able to open the machine in the water closet so I could insulate around the machine to keep the noise level down in the living area.
I think someone else put one of these things in their unit but I have looked at so many modifications I can't keep them all straight.

Okie,
I have done exactly what you describe. The link in Ozzie's post should take you to my website. Looks like I've had a lot of traffic lately and exceeded my bandwidth limits. I guess when its free you get what you pay for . I'll try to get a couple of pictures in my photbucket so that I can show a link.

bingo! This is exactly what I was looking for. I thoguht someone else had made this upgrade. My comode is on the opposite wall in the water closet but everything else looks compatable. Did you have anyone give you an estimate before you installed your unit? I don't think I want to start cutting into any tanks...chicken here.

I did not get any quotes to do mine, as I did it myself. I did not do any modification on the tanks. I had access to the water and drain lines via the cabinet in the bathroom. I installed a laundry connection box inside the old entertainment cabinet with the W/D. I used "T" and "Y" connectors on the drain and water lines. PEX connectors are available at your local RV repair center. The PVC is available at your local plumbing supply.
