Hey all!
I have a 2021 320MKS. That unit has a 120V mini fridge in the outdoor kitchen compartment of the passenger side slider. On the inside of the coach, the back of that fridge is behind a wood panel next to my stove right across from the sink island. Since I never use that outdoor fridge, I'm thinking of using the space for a dishwasher. When it's done, you'd see the back of the dishwasher if you opened up the outdoor kitchen compartment and the front will come in through that aforementioned panel next to the stove. The physical dimensions are nearly perfect for a dishwasher like the Vesta DWV335BBS (If I can find one).
The problem is, while I have power in the slide, I don't have water or drain. So I was considering running those from the plumbing in the island (which is about 4-6 feet away with the slide open). I've never removed the underbelly of this thing to see how accessible everything would be for me in the kitchen sink island. Will I be able to see the floor under the island or will I have to remove a grey tank? I think I just need to be able to drill a hole from the bottom up through the floor into the island compartment under the sink to run my drain and supply lines.
Does anyone have any experience, gotcha's, tips, or warnings about this kind of thing? I'm pretty handy but this is the first major upgrade I've done on this unit and I'm a bit nervous. I especially don't want to buy the dishwasher unless I know I can plumb it.
