2017 311 BHS washer dryer mod

[phonemannn]

Hey all. As stated I have a 2017 311BHS which is the one with the rear bath/bedroom. It also has a outdoor kitchen. We wont use the outdoor kitchen, BUT am thinking of modifying the rear area to install a stacked washer dryer. I am confidant in my skills to do such work, has any one thought of this? And if so what washer dryer combo do you think or are using?
Thanks.

I am for sure going to do it. I will take lots of pictures, and detail what I can. We are going to Alaska on a long trip and the clothes issue might be pressing! (pun intended)

There is already hot/cold water and drain back there. Only need voltage for the dryer, 220 more then likely.

Might need a electric panel upgrade. Have to investigate.

All the RV dryers are 110 and use about 11A. Hooking up 220 will def require an electric panel upgrade not to mention you wont find 220 at any campground. The 50A rv shore power is 110 and utilizes 2 50A breakers that share a neutral so it is 100A total, but the two breakers are on opposite phases and is commonly referred to as a 50A connection.

Well, me being a retied electrician, if the plug is a 50 amp service, it is 220 volt. Just split into 2 110 volt legs. BUT you can still get 220v in the breaker panel in the RV. Just need the correct breaker. Nothing in the RV is 220v. The RV just has different things, like one AC on one leg, and the other on the other leg. But 220V is there. Thanks for info tho...
