Installing washer and dryer
I need information about how to install stackable washer and dryer in a Momentum 395M. There is a small bathroom in the garage. The rear side of the bathroom has plumbing for washer. On the left side wall there is a sticker that says “center line for dryer vent”. How do you install the dryer in the small space with the vent hose sticking out the back. Also, can someone recommend stackable units.

I can't address the momentum as I have a solitude, but it sounds like you have the same problem I did; vent in the side wall but it comes out the back of the dryer. There was no room to run the vent out the back and around the side... Just wasn't gonna happen.
So after much reading and even a call to GD when they said, "I don't know. We don't install washer/dryers." I got creative.
I cut a hole in the side of the dryer and ran the vent out the side. Everything was still so tight, I had the make all the connections through the hole from outside the RV. If you go that route, I would suggest measuring everything about ten times, sleep on it and measure again. It is very hard to get good reference locations inside and outside at the same time. One thing that was very helpful was that GD sent me production drawings for that section of wall, so I had a better understanding of what I was about to cut through. It was a monster of a job, but it got through it and it has worked out well... One other thing. Test your washer drain line before you install it. My drain was not hooked up inside the wall, so I flooded my bedroom and overhang the first time I test ran it. (Thanks GD 🤬.
We have the Splendide stackable. It's not what you are used to at home, but it works. It seems to be the most popular one out there if that means anything.
Hope all this helps and let me know if I can help further.

Thank you for the information. I cringe thinking about drilling a vent hole on the side of my new Momentum. Have you heard of something called a bucket vent. Not sure how it might work. Thanks again.

If you are referring to a "ventless" or some way of not venting to the outside, I would strongly advise against that. The idea is to get the high moisture air out of the living space. In an RV, this is even more important as we have a moisture/humidity problem already. (Unless you're in the desert)
I feel your pain of not wanting to drill a four inch hole in the perfect wall...

When I put my Washer dryer in, I installed the vent in the floor. Vents under the rig, you cannot see it from the outside...
