We would like to tske out our washer/dryer unit that is in the kitchen and put in a dishwasher. Has anyone done that? Can you give us some advise.

How big is your grey water tank? In most cases the home ones use far too much water for RV use. And the ones designed for RV use (Fisher-Paykal come to mind) are not trouble free enough.
Personally I wouldn't do it.

We have a portable (wheels) Danby Dishwasher. We looked at most of the built in units and found problems with the limited dish size. Our holds platters and most RV sized pots and pans. We paid $225 more or less including shipping. Only challenge was finding the right faucet adapter at ACE hardware. Our Kitchen faucet is the pull out sprayer style.
It fits in the dinette slide and anchors to the table center post and the slide wall for travel. Wheel stops protect it from moving out of the slider. Weights about 65 lbs.

Look at the small stainless steel apartment size (3/4 size?) available at Sears. We installed one in a vacation cottage where under counter space was limited about a year ago. Uses less water than doing them by hand. Is a very good and quiet dishwasher. Should have installed years ago--- maybe it was not available then.
Would like to install it in MH where the clothes washer should be located, but DW says no.

We installed a Fisher-Paykel dishwasher in our 2008 Winnebago Tour and love it! I did the install myself (see Dishwasher Install for pictures) and was very pleased how it turned out.
We fulltime and for the past 14 months have used it virtually everyday -- absolutely no problems. The best part is that it really cleans the dishes and uses LESS water than doing them by hand (as little as 2.5 gallons per load). We have been at several rallies without hookups and routinely run the dishwasher to conserve water. Works great.
Feel free to PM me if you have questions.

Personally I wouldn't do it. Do you have a Fisher-Paykal in your motorhome?If not,how can you make the not trouble free enough comment.We have it with no problems,works great and we would never have another motorhome without one.This dishwasher is a drawer type and not just made for a motorhome.

I installed a Fischer-Paykel dishdrawer three years ago and the wife loves it. The dishdrawer dishwasher is the same size as a propane oven and not as large as a household washer, but it works well and uses very little water. Unfortunately, they are expensive.
Several newer top level motorhomes come with the Fisher-Paykel as standard equipment or as an option.
