9 Some chores can’t be left behind, but getting laundry done on your terms is always convenient. As an NTP-STAG dealer, you have access to North America’s bestselling, best supported, and most reliable RV laundry brand: Splendide Laundry Centers. You can sell, install, service, and accessorize the pioneering brand that started it all and went from being an RV luxury back in 1984 to an RV essential. Why does my customer want to do laundry in their RV? Your customer understands the value of being able to do laundry in the privacy and security of their RV. When they travel with a Splendide, they’ll • never spend time in a run-down communal laundry room • never worry about where to find the next Laundromat • never plan a day around doing the laundry • never return to a pile of wet clothes removed by stranger • never use a machine where a stranger just washed pet bedding or some other unsanitary item • never have their favorite shirt damaged by industrial machines with harsh programs How do I know which Splendide model is right for my customer? With Splendide, you have the choice of either a combo washer-dryer or a stackable laundry pair. The combo is a washer and dryer in one, while the stackable set consists of a 24” washing machine and a separate 24” dryer. All Splendide units operate on 120V. For most of your customers, a combo washer-dryer will be the perfect fit. A Splendide combo has plenty of capacity and will conserve space and weight. Quiet and easy to use, it will wash laundry, dry it, or go from wash to dry automatically. It’s capable of gently but thoroughly cleaning and drying a range of fabrics - from heavily soiled cotton to delicate silk and wool. Splendide combos come with either a vented or ventless (condenser) drying system. The traditional, vented drying system is by far the most popular in RV’s and what people already use in their homes. However, for the customer who’s not interested in running a duct line to the outside of their coach, a condenser drying option is available. However, it’s important to mention that unlike a vented drying system, a condenser one does require cold water during the drying process. The Splendide stackable set is for those who have extra room and want to dry slightly bigger loads. While it consists of two separate units, power is still a consideration. Customers should know that a stackable laundry set will only be able to wash and dry at the same time when adequate power is available. Why choose Splendide? If your customer is new to RVing, they may not be familiar with the Splendide brand. While Splendide is North America’s bestselling RV laundry brand, it’s a name that’s only awarded to a select group of specialized appliances and accessories. Splendide laundry centers are sold exclusively in RV dealerships. Splendide’s parent company, Westland Sales, is a small, family-owned business located in Oregon and serving the RV industry for over 50 years. Today, two generations of family members and an experienced group of long-time employees continue the Westland Sales tradition of providing quality products and after-sales care to their RV customers. While other brands have come and gone, Splendide continues to stay ahead of the pack by offering high-quality products and outstanding customer support. When you choose Splendide you provide your customer with: • The unmatched performance and features that matter most in RVs, including space savings, weight savings, and energy savings • Strengthened internal components to withstand the rigors of RV travel • A product that meets stringent North American safety standards for safe use in close-fitting RV installations • A product made for RV travel from conception to production • An unmatched warranty and access to vast parts reserves with extensive service training and outstanding support for all dealer partners • A full line of specialized accessories designed to make RV installations safer, faster and easier Should I display a Splendide unit on my floor? A Splendide combo washer-dryer will occupy around two feet of space but will become a valuable and profitable conversation piece in return. Your customer will open its door, turn its knobs, press its buttons, and enjoy taking a closer look at all the cycles on its display. They’ll be curious about how it works and how it’s installed. When you feature a Splendide combo washer-dryer in your dealership, you’ll have the best chance at helping him or her make this critical buying decision. Don’t forget the add-ons For every Splendide laundry center sold at your dealership, you’ll have the opportunity to offer several accessories: • A Drain Pan for an extra layer of RV floor protection • Securefit Brackets to keep the unit and all its hookups in place • Vent Kits that make dryer vent installation easy • RV laundry powder that’s environmentally friendly, designed for RVs, and recommended by Splendide. Splendide laundry detergent is easy to display and a great way to encourage repeat business To learn more about how the Splendide line of RV laundry centers and accessories can benefit you and your customers, please contact your NTP-STAG representative today.
