So I am getting ready to install our Splendide washer dryer set soon. I was scoping out where the Dryer vent goes on our 2023 Beacon 42RKB and noticed the location marked inside has the dryer vent going through the front cap!!!
I would have thought that it would go through the side as that is a flat surface. I have concerns that the vent will not lay flat if I use the indicated location by the sticker. Does anyone else have the dryer vent going out the front cap?
With all the curves, angles and slopes I am surprised that the location is marked on the front end.
I just looked and I do not have a sticker for where that vent goes inside the closet. There is significant distance between the closet wall and the front of the endcap. I would cut the place where you have the sticker and then do a 90 degree turn to the right and put the vent on the flat section of the exterior wall. When I have questions like these I call Tiffin and have them send me a diagram or explain where it goes. Also, you can ask the local tiffin dealing where that should go. Good luck and post what you find out.
We have a 2020 39FBB that has the front bathroom with the W/D installed. The dryer vent is on the side. The front cap would be a bad location IMO for the reason you mentioned.
I’d investigate going through the sidewall instead as it’d be much easier to get through that 2" or so of wall compared to the empty space behind the front cap.
Your closet and prep area are set up similar to what mine is (in a much smaller unit) and I had the sticker showing venting in the direction of the cap (not to go out the cap but the cap space). Mine was installed at the factory but goes out that small space and then curves over to exit in the cap area but curb side. The space provided for the unit backs up against the wall so my vent of the dryer is actually popped through that hole cut in.
This picture is from the factory right after they installed my vent.
Confirmed.
Tiffin sent me this photo today of the side panel installation of the vent. So all threads are consistent. Those photos of the cut away are awesome bytheway!!!
Here is a picture of the outside when installed on the side panel…
