    Washer and dryer

    Good morning, just about ready to order a new 280 rk solitude fifth wheel, is it possible to have factory install a washer and separate dryer or is this a job for dealer to install? Thank you

    It will be a dealer installed item or DIY, no factory.

    One more question for 280 rk owners, has anyone ordered the dual pane windows if so how do you like them, also when installing a washer and dryer in the 280 rk, where does the dryer vent installed on outside?

    Just food for thought. Adding DP windows and washer/dryer will take in the neighborhood of 700 lbs. from your 2700 lbs. cargo weight. I find myself constantly looking for ways to keep under GVWR.

    According to Grand Design before we ordered, dual pane on our 310 added 200-250lbs.

    If that is true then that would mean the washer + dryer would weigh about 250 lbs. each ? do not know if I want to believe those numbers.

    So where is the other 230lbs. But whatever the extra weight will be, only you can decide if pulling the extra weight is worth the improvement you add and stay under your GVWR.

    I'm not sure what 230lbs you are referring to. Someone else posted the 700lb guestimate for combined dual pane/washer/dryer which I also believe is too high. My DP/washer/dryer added weight is probably under 450lbs.

    For the OP, the dual panes are definitely worth it IMHO.
