We don't have a washer/dryer in our 5th wheel but it's prepped for them. We are wintering in Florida for the first time this year and I've asked many people at the resort we're at about their thoughts. It's about 50/50 love it or hate it. Those that love it either are older and don't want to be bothered using the resort laundry facility or they don't want the hassle and added expense of using pay machines (This I don't understand because you can buy a lot of loads of laundry for the cost of those machines). Those that dislike their washer/Dryer all say the same thing. They don't hold much and laundry has to be done just about every day. Because we sometimes boon dock and other times camp where we don't have water hookups and use our Fresh Water holding tank, we chose not to have them.
This is what we've found talking with other full-timers the past 4.5 years. We personally like to be able to walk over to the laundry and get everything done in 1-1/2 hours in larger commercial machines. The long-term expense of doing it this way has been negligible - especially compared to the cost of the Splendide units. We also have extra storage space without the W/D.
