Washer/Dryer Combo Install

Have a 2008 Raptor 3712TS Toy Hauler and installed a Splendide Comb-0-Matic model unit in the garage. Ran 1/2 inch plastic pex tubing from the front storage compartment where all of the water related plumbing comes together. Ran those lines under the camper parallel to the frame and above the moisture barrier material. Fed the lines up into the garage area, installed a standard plastic hot/cold washer valve unit on the wall. This particular combo unit does not have an exterior dryer vent so no need to rig one up. Used 2 inch ABS plastic pipes for the stand-pipe and created an inside standpipe vent out of the same type of pipe. Rather than run a drain pipe all the way forward and plumb it into the grey-water tank, I installed the drainpipe under the garage and exited the 3 inch pipe behind the rear tire on the driver side. Attached a bayonet type end on the 3 inch pipe and used a standard matching type cover. Now we hook a Y-type connector into the campground sewer and run two hoses. One hose from the black-water/grey-water outlet and the other to the washer drainpipe. The only downside is we have to have a sewer hook-up in order to use the washer. Most places we stay have sewer hookup so it has not been a problem. Cost about $187.00 in parts to do the job and about 6 hours labor time. Saved about $220.00 by doing it myself. (See attached photos) (Note: Bottom of exterior drainage pipe is actually 13 inches above the ground as opposed to the way it looks from the angle in which the photo was taken)
