Splendide 2100XC washer combo

My wife and I recently purchased a Heartland Bighorn 3735 EL. We would like to put a washer and dryer in our rig. The dealer recommends the Splendide 2100XC.

I did a search on washers and dryers and found conflicting data and old post.

I guess what I want to know is; are the Splendides quality machines and worth the purchase price?

I have not Googled the wash and dry times yet, but I was told that I need a combo as the stackables will not fit.

Any opinions?

Thanks,
John
  • We have the vented model. Set it on "low spin". It shakes less and there are fewer wrinkles when done.

    I did just have to replace the brushes in the motor in ours. It's about 8 years old; and, we are fulltimers. So, it's been worked hard...

    From what I've read, the newer models have "brushless A/C motors."
  • If you have wrinkle problems get the dryer balls from Target, I think. About tennis ball size with little knobs all over them. Keeps the clothes separated and moving around I guess.
  • We are currently full timing. We have been for 14 months.
    Our splendide 2100xc runs about a load of laundry per day. Small loads are the key. After work we do a load each night. It finishes up before we go to bed.
    DW and I have a 2 and 4 year old. Our machine gets used hard.

    The dryer gave us a problem, but it was just dirty with lint.
    I now run the cleansing cycle about twice a month. Usually at night as the wash hardly moves at all without clothes in it.

    We do take blankets to the laundry mat.
  • I did purchase the Splendide and installed it myself. I love it. Yes it is slow, but no big deal for us. I can wash clothes anytime I want and as much as I want.

  • "Yes it is slow, but no big deal for us. I can wash clothes anytime I want and as much as I want."

    Exactly ! I am doing laundry right now, while catching up on mail, etc.

    Who says men can't multi-task ????
  • We have the separate Splendide pair and they work very well. The DW likes being able to dry a load while another is washing. Yes it takes up space but that has not been an issue. They were dealer installed when we took delivery of the camper and while pricey that's what she wanted so you know happy wife happy life.

    Are they quality? You bet they are. So far in 10 years I have had to replade one door handle. Thats it! Yes, they do take time. Expect 3 hours wash and dry. But so what? We start a load in the morning, go about our business and take dry clothes out when we get back. The key is small loads.


    X2, the door handle gave me some issues but I got it done. Broke after 12 years. I love to have it on board, I use it every day unless dry camping.
