Model 377FL, Access to Washer/Dryer Valves

Good day,

I have a 2020 Montana 377FL with a combo washer/dryer located in the bedroom. However, the compartment area where it is mounted is very tight and I cant reach the water valves located in the rear of the compartment. In order to reach the valves to turn them on/off, I have to unmount the washer/dryer, partially remove it and tilt it backwards in order to reach the valves. I must be part meat eater dinosaur because my arms just aren't long enough to reach the valves. I think you have to be part orangutan to reach them. Any ideas out there? Do they make a reach rod for these valves?

I just installed a combo and experienced the same issue. I had to move the electrical plug to be able to plug it in. On my unit the water lines run through a storage compartment. I'm going to splice into them and install shut of valves.

I removed the top panel on the front and created a shelf for storage. The shelf comes out to reach all the valves.

Love the shelf idea! I also cut and spliced valves in our basement for our W/D hookups. Mostly so that I could shut off water in the winter since I haven't put in a stackable set yet.

I’m looking at a W/D combo or stackable to put in my 2020 377FL right now, what models do y’all have or recommend?
