Smile Splendide Washer/Dryer install on 38GK

We have had our 2016 38GK for about 8 months now and are full time. We decided we wanted to add the Splendide Stackable W&D. Our 38GK has the W&D closet next to front door. I'm pretty handy so I plan to do the install myself. All looks simple but I'm a bit nervous about cutting the vent hole for the dryer. Does anyone have any tips or advice? Are there pipes or wiring in that exterior wall?

I just talked to Jim on the phone. What he needs most is the measurements from inside the closet as to the location of the vent. His 38GK has the W/D on the curb side of the unit. Anyone on here have these for him?

We will be in the Redwood tomorrow and I would be happy to measure, however, in our 2015 38 GK, the washer/dryer are not near the door. The bathroom is between them. I haven't seen a '16 so I don't know if they changed location.

Wife and I installed the wash/dryer in our 2016 38rd a few weeks ago. Start to finish was about 3/4 of a day. Looking back on it, it was much easier than what I realized. As far as wiring, there could be some but most of the wires are ran in the basement or ceiling. The bigger challenge is going to be missing the studs in the wall.

Redwood did change the bathroom location in dome 2016 models. It came out when they offered the king slide in slide option.
