Doing the research to transition from p/t B-van to full-time Class A. I'm researching a 2000 Itasca Suncruiser 35U, and wondered if there is any where, possibly half of the wardrobe? where one could install a washer/dryer combo. Thanks for any input! Chris </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
Chris,
My wife and I have looked into this and it would be such a major undertaking that we decided to go without the washer.
In the closet accross from the bathroom you would have to remove the mirrored doors to allow for the washer taking up half the closet and then use a flexible drain and water feed coming from behind the side trim closest to the pantry and going under the fridge to the galley drain line etc. You would loose a good portion of the closet, have a drain prone to failure and add a bit of weight in the slide that may or may not lead to future problems.
At the foot of the bed you would have to modify the sliding bedroom doors, wardrobe cabinett, hamper and vanity counter to get one in but it will be tight and the bed may wedge against it when bringing in the slide.
The new 35T(?) gets the washer at the foot of the bed by making the bathroom a bit smaller using an angle shower, pushing the toilet foward and having the sink angled beside the toilet. It also slides the galley and entrance foward eliminating the table and chair behind to co-pilots seat.
