Washer Dryer recommendations
Hello again, another newbie question for all y’all pros out there.
I would like to put a washer dryer combo in my 2010 Montana, it has all the necessary hookups.
What should I get to get the most bang for the buck?
I will be traveling alone with my dog, he doesn’t wash his clothes very often!
Thanks

The most common install is a Vented Splendide Combo Washer/Dryer. Stackables are an option if you have the room (I don't recall where the washer goes in a 3455SA)

We used a Splendide combo vented for 14 years and never a problem with it.

Same here, Splendid stackable, vented. We DID have problems with ours initially. It kept throwing error codes. Splendid wasn't much help. Then all of a sudden, it just stopped doing that and we've not had any more issues. We never did figure out what we were doing wrong. But, all is well for over 4 years now! We figure, it was just a learning curve, or electrical interference for some reason based on the error codes. They are a lot more touchy than a house hold washing machine, it seems.

Don’t make the same mistake I made and get an unvented unit. Take the advice from the above post and get a vented unit.

We have the vented splendid washer n dryer. Have it it about a year now no problems at all. Just remember when using open your gray tank valve.

We have the Splendide stackables and they work perfect. They do hold quite a bit of laundry.

I have the Splendide combo vented. I didn't want to take up the whole space for the stackable.

Stackables take up more space, but do a much better job. We've had two single units and one stackable....and would never go back to the single.

Took single vented unit out after one season as we stay in RV parks and needed more storage space.
So, have a very good unit for sale in CO. PM if interested.

Where do you vent the dryer? I don’t see a place to do it.
Thanks

Vent goes out a side wall. Large hole saw to cut a round hole the size of the vent tube. I have read that some have the vent location marked on the wall in the washer/dryer closet. If not you would need to locate that yourself. Or have an installer do it.

Here is a screen shot showing a dryer vent on the exterior.
In the second screen shot (as an example) - there will be some aluminum framing studs in the wall (shown in blue). You can get a stud finder and locate the studs. Use a hole saw to cut the hole for the vent.
