Application · Premium motorhomes
The kitchen in the motorhome.
No room for compromise.
Every kilogram counts, every centimetre is accounted for — and your customers’ expectations rise with each model series. The DishDrawer™ washes at full capacity at half the niche height and opens to the side instead of into the aisle. In series production at Morelo and Concorde.

Why this matters
The dishwasher is part of what makes a motorhome feel like home.
Premium buyers expect the comfort of their home kitchen on the road. Anyone who wants to camp off-grid without washing up by hand asks about it during the sales conversation.
An appliance that respects installation space, payload and consumption yet still washes at full capacity becomes a feature worth listing in the brochure.
Challenge & solution
Six bottlenecks in motorhome building — and how the DishDrawer™ resolves them.
The points where a conventional 60 cm dishwasher fails in vehicle planning.
Build space
Every centimetre is accounted for
In a motorhome, galley, storage and technical equipment all compete for the same space. With an installation height of just 410 mm and a width of 599 mm the DishDrawer™ fits into a standard kitchen block and needs only half the niche height of a conventional dishwasher.
Floor plan
More freedom of movement in the galley.
In a compact vehicle galley every free centimetre counts. The DishDrawer™ opens like a drawer and reduces the movement space needed in front of the appliance. This keeps the galley more usable while loading and unloading – an advantage your customers experience on every trip.
Payload
Every kilogram counts.
Every additional component affects the available payload. With an appliance weight of just 31 kg the DishDrawer™ brings the comfort of a full dishwasher into the vehicle without needlessly eating into the weight reserve. That leaves room for equipment and luggage.
Noise
The evening should belong to the holiday.
In a motorhome the galley, seating area and sleeping area are often only a few steps apart. With an operating noise of just 43 dB(A) the DishDrawer™ runs pleasantly quietly. The wash cycle stays in the background – during a shared evening in the vehicle just as much as when the pitch has already fallen quiet.
Off-grid use
Water and energy are limited.
When travelling, fresh water and battery capacity are available only to a limited extent. The DishDrawer™ cleans up to six place settings per cycle and avoids the unnecessary consumption of a large machine. That saves water and energy – especially on longer stages without supply and disposal points.
Brand standard
Premium shows in the details.
A high-quality interior lives from a coherent overall picture. The DishDrawer™ is fully integrated behind the furniture front and blends harmoniously into the vehicle design. Visible controls are unnecessary thanks to the knock-to-pause function – the focus stays on the interior, not on the appliance.
On-board power & connection
The question that comes first in engineering.
The DishDrawer™ is a 230-volt appliance. In the motorhome it runs on shore power or on an inverter fed from the on-board system — both are implemented at our series partners in the liner segment.
When sizing the inverter, the inrush current of the heating phase is decisive. We handle this coordination on a per-project basis with your electrical engineering team.

Configurations
Three variants for three vehicle classes.
Dimensions in millimetres (height × width × depth), all variants for a customer-supplied furniture front.
| Model | Configuration | Dimensions H×W×D | Capacity | Typical vehicle class |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DD60SHI9 | Single | 410×599×571 | 6 place settings | Semi-integrated floor plans |
| DD60SHTI9 | Single, tall version | 454×599×571 | 6 place settings, plates 310 mm | Liner class |
| DD60DHI9 | Double | 820–880×599×571 | 12 place settings, 2×6 | Large liner |
In the double unit, both drawers run independently. Knock-to-Pause is available on all three variants.

Frequently asked engineering questions
What developers want to know first.
Whatever is not covered here, we clarify in conversation.
Does the DishDrawer™ fit a standard kitchen block?
Yes. With a standard width of 60 cm and a height of approx. 41 cm the single dish drawer fits perfectly into Euro kitchen grids. The installation depth of 57 cm fits common carcasses. Thanks to the drawer principle, valuable storage space for pots or pull-outs is retained underneath.
How is the appliance secured for driving?
The DishDrawer™ has an electronic lock that firmly closes the drawer when the wash programme starts. For driving in a motorhome, however, this function does not secure the appliance automatically. Here we strongly recommend integrating a mechanical push-lock catch or a magnetic transport lock into the kitchen front.
Is the on-board power enough, or is shore power needed?
With a pure sine wave inverter from 1,500 watts and a powerful lithium battery (LiFePO4), off-grid operation from the on-board electrical system is easily possible. One wash cycle uses only about 0.5 kWh. Shore power is therefore not strictly necessary, provided the solar system or charge booster recharges the battery during the day.
What does service look like for the end customer?
As the general importer we coordinate after-sales service through our own certified service network in Europe. End customers or motorhome workshops can report damage directly to coolHouse. Processing is fast – via qualified technicians on site or by supplying original spare parts from our central warehouse.
Can we get a sample unit?
Yes, coolHouse actively supports manufacturers and B2B partners with prototype construction. We are happy to provide you with a sample appliance on special terms. Simply send us your project data – we will check availability in our warehouse and arrange fast shipping.
Can larger series volumes be handled?
Yes. Thanks to our direct link to the Fisher & Paykel manufacturing plant and our own European warehouse logistics we can reliably supply large volumes as well. We agree tailored framework contracts and call-off quotas with you in order to secure the just-in-time supply of your series production.
