washer/dryer

What is the best brand of stackable washer/dryer to use in a 34 ft. 5th wheel?? Do they wash & dry well?? Only the 2 of us!!
  • Our Splendide Aristons are 11 years old now. I will clarify we are not full timers, so the use may not be as high as others. 11 years of winterizing and beach towels and king bed sheets, and transfer to 3 different fifth wheels and they work perfectly.

    We originally decided on the RV type because they use less water, spin faster to help the 110VAC dryer, and ours even have retractable buttons so the cabinet doors can close. Snap to winterize.

    The only time I've had to replace a part was moving it into the last rig and I broke one of the plastic water solenoid valves. About $166 smacks through PPL motorhomes for the part, but it was up and running in a few days.

    We full time and go to the laundry mat ever 2 weeks. I would not mess with a washer/dryer. They are very heavy, and don't work well.


    You can do an awfull lot of laundry on the quarters you save by not purchasing a washer dryer for your RV! Big plus, two less things to go wrong!

    Ya, and you can can do an awfull lot of staying in a Marriott on the money you save by not purchasing a camper and a big truck to move it! What was your point :B
  • To each his own. Some folks wouldn't have a coach without an auto leveling system. (Mine doesn't ) others could say for that expense you can buy a lot of 2x8's. Just depends. In our case we prefer having the washer and dryer for convenience. Definitely not a 'must have' or we don't go. Just a nice convenience.

  • We are fulltimers go to LM every 10 days. We like the room, we have a 39 foot RV so extra closet space is great but each to his own.If we ever changed our mind would for sure get a stackable.We had one ordered but wife said lets try it without one, and if we don't like going to LM we can go buy them don't cost any more to wait.
    Good luck
