Splendide new installation tips?

I'm hoping to install a Splendide washer in my 96 model 295.  It's not real apparent where the plumbing and venting connections are, if they exist at all.  Can anyone give me tips on how to access these hidden hookups?  Thanks, Chuck

Chuck,
The plumbing is typically located in the bathroom's largest closet on a Unicoach your vintage and length.  You should be able to see evidence & clues as to its location.  There is likely a panel that has to be removed against the closet back wall (for the washer's drain hose).  Also, the hot & cold water spigots are located under some of the drawers (on my 34' Unicoach.  You'll have to "Colombo" it... ;)  to find the plumbing set up.

Chuck,

We installed a Splendide two months ago.  It is still fresh in my mind.  I will PM you my phone number and will answer any questions.  Our water bibs (hot and cold faucets) were under the raised floor of the sliding door closet next to the W/D. 
Good luck.
