Installing a Splendide
When I got my 93 PT40, it had the Splendide already in it. I was
the third owner of the coach. The prior owner warned me that it
takes forever for things to dry.

We knew that the dryer vent exited into the passenger rear wheel
well, and with the coach aired up, you can hear the vent open and
close. If there is no air in the accessory tank, the vent valve
will not open.

Well we tried to dry towels and it did take forever. Then one day I
decided to clean the back of that closet that had the W/D in it. My
unit is on a slide out drawer, as I am sure other are the same. I
figured that this was just for service, and had not pulled the unit
out before. Then to my surprise I saw in the left back corner on
top, the drier vent filter screen (much like those on house dryers
in the door, or back of the dryer) I pulled this out, only to find
it completely plugged up. I don't think the prior owners EVER
cleaned out that filter. Now the dryer works much better (not as
good as the house)

It also does not hurt to pull out the W/D to check your water
fitting in the back of the unit. Vibration can cause these to
loosen over time.
