    Dishwasher install, New sink Faucet and a Maxxair Deluxe Fan

    It was a busy weekend. We have a 2019 384gk-r Solitude and we made a few upgrades on Sunday. My wife wanted a dishwasher so we ordered a Bosch 800 series 18inch compact dishwasher. It's so quiet that you have to put your ear to the door to even hear the water splashing. Thank god it has an LED light that shines on the ground when it's running. We went with the hidden controls for a cleaner look. The install was much easier than I expected, even with it being prepped. One item at Lowes so i was able to connect the drain to the plumbing and then having to cut down some of the shelving to fill the gap at the top of the dishwasher. It was originally 1 1/4 gap. If you look closely you can see two pieces of wood cut to fit then drilled together to cover the gap

    I was tired of the faucet feeling like it was going to break so we picked up a Delta Faucet that will change colors depending on the temps. Along with that I drilled through the counter and installed the soap dispenser that came with it.

    Last but not least, I wanted to replace the dinky 12v fan in the bathroom. I ordered the Maxxair Deluxe and swapped it in. The install was much easier than I expected, only took 30 minutes from start to finish. The worst was scraping off the old sealant on the roof

    Wow, very nice! I never envisioned anything other than a Fisher and Paykel drawer dishwasher in that space. You've got a real one. I am NOT showing this to my wife! Congrats on all the fine mods.

    Nice...I love that dishwasher..buy they are sure proud of it with a $900 price tag on it. If I have to start doing dishes it will be on my list of mods.

    What model Delta Faucet did you install?

    Had one similar in our last trailer and we liked it. It moves a ton of air, reversible flow and can set to auto for 78*. Plus its the larger unit so it sits like 8 inches tall on the roof when closed and 14 inches or so when open. Nice thing is it can be used during a rain storm without water coming in since the vent to the outside is tilted down

    It’s the Allentown model. It wasn’t my favorite on display, but I really like it once i got it installed.

    That dishwasher is a very cool modification. I'm going to look it up, but can you tell me what the required mounting depth is? My wife would love something like that. The small "RV" units just don't have the capacity. That looks truly useful. We'd have to give up some under-counter space, but it might be worth it.

    Im not sure the mounting depth, but the standard bosch 18" compact fit. It's right up against the back wall with the hoses, but i would say it fit perfectly.
