Dishwasher drawer install on 2014 Journey 40 U

[parmelee81]

just wondering if anyone has actually removed the 2 drawers underneath the cooktop and installed the Fisher Packel dishwasher drawer??

I did this underneath our stovetop in our RV. Installed the Vesta dishwasher. Upgrading to the Fisher Paykel model next week though. Going to be a very snug fit for us because the furnace sits just beneath.

Following up on this effort please. I’d like to remove the drawers from the cabinet below the stovetop (2015 Phaeton) and install the fisher & paykel dishwasher. Do they come in different sizes? Is it a plug and play install? Is that spot in the phaeton for the optional dishwasher? Thanks

I don't know about your rig specifically. I know that I just drilled a hole through the floor way back behind our counter, then ran the standard power cord to the outlet in one of our bays outside. Then I caulked (with wire mesh to prevent mice) the hole that the cord runs through.

The water line has to be tapped into. We have PEX and used a sharkbite T to tap into our hot water line.

I think we cut into the PVC back there which was connected to the gray tank from both the bathroom sink and the kitchen sink. Put a T in that PVC, and turned it upwards, so that we could insert the U-shaped drain hose of the Vesta DW.

As far as plugging in the DW and running it, yes, it runs once plugged in. Just need to get the water situation sorted.

I believe the Fisher Paykel one is <1" taller than the Vesta and actually have it sitting in a friends garage in Tucson, ready to install when we get down there for the winter.
