    How do I install stackable Ariston washer & dryer in our 2017 Solitude 300 GK??

    So, I thought I was pretty handy, but in my research about installing these units, I see that the unit is spec'd out at 24.4 or 24.5 inches wide, depending on which website you look at. But the door to the closet is just under that measurement. In fact the bedroom door and the closet door are too narrow. Does the door jamb molding have to come off of both doors? I already decided that the doors and handrail would come off. My concern is that in attempting to remove the door jamb and stop molding, it is gonna break. And even if it doesn't break, it's gonna look like hell upon reinstallation unless new material is used.
    So, how do your engineers expect that a tech actually install a washer and dryer? Plus the set is gonna be right up at the front of the closet and the closet door knob probably will hit and not allow the door to latch closed. I'm not convinced that since the back wall of the closet curves in on the right side, that the stacked units will even fit.

    So, which units did you design to fit in there? And how is installation achieved?
    I wanted the Ariston stackable washer and dryer.
    Any help is appreciated.

    If memory serves me, the RV compact machines are under 24 inches wide.

    I haven't installed one in a 300GK, so I can't offer anything om the height with the curved front cap.

    Scott & Glenda,
    I've been told my some of your fellow RVers they've used the Splendide brand, but there may be other brands out there that match these dimensions, because we do not install them here at the factory I unfortunately do not have information on the washers and dryers available.

    RamGunner yes I have read your write up before. Very informative. In fact that is s what got me thinking I could do the install myself. .
    But the clearance at the doors is tight. I just want to know if the door jamb has to come off in order toget unit in the closet.

    Has any one put a washer into a 2017 solitude 300GK?

    I can tell you the Splendide will fit but yes you will have to take off the door and molding. We had our w/d in our 369 and just moved it over to our 376. Like your 300 GK it was a very tight fit in the 376. We took off the door and the molding and gently scooted it back in. It does fit but tightly. Even though I watched--the hubs said it wasn't a big deal to take the door and molding off. Our problem was the depth! The vent of course was placed out the back of the dryer and the closet was not deep enough. Not being interested in buying new units, the hubs had to rework the dryer. He took the back off and re-routed the vent out the side of the dryer. Voila! It all finally fit.

    Sandi;
    I got my Ariston washer and dryer today. I see the issue with the dryer vent. I'd like to talk to your husband about how the vent move worked. But first do we have the same models?

    I bought the ARWXF129WNwasher and the TVM63XNA dryer.

    Are yours the same models? If so I'd like to call your husband and talk.
    I'll PM you my phnone #
