Your video just gave me a great idea. I have a 2021 320 MKS with an outdoor cooking compartment and no sink. I never use that small refrigerator and I just realized that the wall behind it is right under my counter next to my stove/oven. I could take that fridge out and flip the opening so it opens towards the kitchen then install the dishwasher there. Toughest part is the plumbing to the island in the kitchen.
Glad I could help spark an idea! For the hot / cold lines, the shark bite system is easy to work with. For the drain, the best I've seen is a residential PVC w/ the dishwasher drain plug, then cutting and adding in. Good luck!
We're also rockin' a 311BHS, and just discovered you today. Great stuff! We pulled our outside fridge out first thing, and I think we're going to do a similar thing, but with a clothes washing machine instead of a dishwasher.
My family and I have the exact same trailer and watching your videos gives us great ideas! We want to do exactly like you did in the outside kitchen. Can you please put links to the items you bought?
Thanks for the feedback! A few notes on the outside kitchen dishwasher: This is one I went with: smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B074PYH768/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 You could probably build the stand, but I wanted something with a rating since I plan to small fridge back under it after winter. www.lowes.com/pd/HoldRite-Universal-Steel-Water-Heater-Water-Heater-Stand/1000382089 I had some scrap pieces of Trex board that I put under the stand to prevent scratching the counter. Note that the fit is tight. I have to angle the washer very slightly to get the door to open. I like to be able to remove / move things around as I experiment, so I haven't secured down the washer itself. I just surround it with pool noodles when moving the camper to keep it from slamming into anything. Even if you don't do this mod, I highly recommend getting one of these if you have young or short people in your family. It allows my kids to use the sink and the wife to reach the top of the cabinets. Makes loading easier too, but wait for it to go on sale. This price seems higher than a few months ago. Some sites we've stayed at slope off at the back, making it hard for even me to reach without the platform: www.lowes.com/pd/Werner-1-7-ft-x-4-ft-x-16-in-375-lbs-Aluminum-Work-Platform/1000399287
Good morning Chris! We love the fridge. When we camp, we make a lot of our meals in camper so we pack a lot into it. Freezer is huge relative to what we need. I think the only quirk is that as you pack it for trips and need to access food on the way (where you don't push the slides out) you have to remember to pack that food on the RH side as only that door opens. Hopefully we'll all get back to camping soon...stay safe!

Awesome Idea! As my wife hates washing dishes. How are you liking the bigger gas/electric fridge?
