Title: Plumbed and Wired for Washer/Dryer
Post by: Jan & Richard on July 31, 2017, 11:35:38 am
I understand that my '99 U320 is plumbed and wired for a washer/dryer in one of the closets.  In the forward closet is a "bumped out" rectangular box in the lower half of the forward wall.  I suspect that inside this is where the connections are located.  Is that correct?  I want to add an AC outlet in the closet for my rechargeable vacuum cleaner and it would be nice before I start taking things apart to know that I am in the right area. 

Thanks

Yes, 120 plug is down below. The drain has a screw in plug that needs to be drilled out. Have installed at least 10 w/d's in FT's. Piece of cake. I did mine last winter.

Richard,
My 320 has the CAI floor plan.  The closet behind the potty room is divided into a top and bottom half.  The lower half is for the washer/dryer.  On the back wall is the water and drain connections.  Just remove the cover on the bump out wall to expose everything.  In my potty room is a closet behind the toilet.  In the lower section of the closet is a fake bottom.  Pull that up and my unit is plugged into an outlet there. You should be able to plug in your vacuum there also.  Don't know how large the vacuum is, you may be able to locate it in that closet which is suppose to be a clothes hamper area.  Hope this helps.
John M.

Thanks John for the response, however, my coach is the WTFE model so is more like Chris's than yours.  It was helpful that you included the attachment showing the two 36 foot models.  I will add WTFE to my signature.

Remove cover of bump out and remove plumbing and use the space for closet things.  Turn off two water lines remove hoses at manifold and cap them off.  Use electric outlet as you please, but be aware it will only be live with generator or shore, not inverter.  We ran #12 extension cord plugged into that outlet extended out into living area, for use by floor heaters and any loads we do not want to ever be on inverter.
