Vibrating 5er when doing laundry

How much vibrations should we be experiencing when the wash machine is on? The spin cycle makes the whole 5er vibrate and Hubby is concerned. We have the washer dryer combo. I like the unit because you put in your laundry and 3 hours later it's done. Unfortunately that is death on permanent press but I am learning how to pull things out early.

    Ours vibrates the trailer all the time on spin cycle. Personally, I wouldn't worry about it unless your tires are bouncing off the ground. :)

    If the washer/dryer tub is unevenly balanced, the washing machine will shake and vibrate. In a stick and brick house, they can cause an entire floor to vibrate and shake. RV's don't have a chance. Figure out why your washer/dryer is unbalanced and that's probably best solution.

    If you run a cycle through the machine with nothing in it, does it still shake the camper? If so, something is wrong with the washer/dryer.
