EXCLUSIVE: New Installation Eases Techs’ Work

A new hardware kit from Pinnacle is making life easier for RV technicians and appliance installers.

Pinnacle Product Designer Beverly Wirkler said the company’s new Front Stacking Kit enables Pinnacle dryers to ease stacking on Pinnacle washing machines.

“We have discussed this for a while, but I came up with this design in roughly August 2025,” Wirkler said. “These are specifically made for our machines. It will not fit anyone else’s.”

Wirkler said the first finished product arrived in late December.

“It was a nice Christmas gift for me,” Wirkler said. “Dealers can contact me now if they are interested, and distributors will have them around March, roughly.”

Installers inspired the new kit. Wirkler said installers told Pinnacle the installation process was too difficult and possibly dangerous.

“Our old design, you would have to put the washer and dryer together, and then pick up the 200-plus pounds, and put it in a cabinet or a closet or where it is going,” Wirkler said. “For the safety of the installers, and the techs at the dealerships, and the ease of it…this is what we designed and came up with.”

The stacking kit is free.

“This is a very practical solution,” Wirkler said, “to a real problem.”
