Great Dryer For RV
I purchased this to be installed in my 5th wheel travel trailer. I have 30 amp service in my trailer and I was a bit skeptical about how this unit would work out. The other consideration with purchasing this unit was the fact that it would need to be vented outside in an RV application. I suppose that one could run the dryer inside without venting but this seemed a bad idea especially on a hot summers day, not to mention all the added humidity that reeks havoc on your RV's interior. Venting inside your home is a different story.
I found an installation location on the wall of my 5th wheel near a power source. The instructions were easy to understand. Additional thought regarding mounting in an RV situation is required. Every RV installation is different but I would definitely recommend a thought process for extra support above and beyond what the instructions suggest for home use. Traveling down the highway creates bumps and vibrations that typically don't happen with home use. I built a small shelving unit beneath the dryer for added support and storage of laundry supplies as well as additional wall attachment support to accomplish this.
Drilling a 4" vent hole for venting in the side of my 5th wheel seemed daunting but it turns out that it was not a huge deal at all. I measured and then triple checked the measurements again before drilling. Home depot had all the necessary adapters and outside venting components needed to complete the job.
The dryer runs on basically 2 heat settings. The lower heat setting takes longer to dry but the up side is that I can run my A/C unit while using the dryer. The higher heat setting works very well and on most days with an outside temp of 80 degree or less I can run the dryer and A/C together but I have to put my A/C on low speed or shut it off all together. Not a big deal for me.
We have taken 6 trips since installing this dryer and I am very pleased with quality of the unit. It is so nice not to have to use public washers and dryers when traveling. I paired this dryer with a small fully automatic washer from The Laundry Alternative.
