I just noticed your dryer is upside down..

No it's just a one off unit that people haven't seen

Has anybody had any experience with the Equator Appliances brand of RV washers and dryers. Camping world has a set of stackables on sale right now at the link below.
I am considering ordering them.

I bought a Danby Washer. It spins enough of the water out that just hanging the clothes in the shower at night they are dry in the morning. The key to any of these is small loads. If I have a pair of jeans that need washing, it might be a tee shirt with them but just as might be nothing. Very happy with the Danby, had it for two years and used about every FHP trip.

Everyone I know that has the Splendide combo likes it. I have read reviews that slam it. Has to do with the drier function leaving the clothes wrinkled. But the happy users seem to do smaller loads a little more frequently and have learned to deal with the wrinkling. When I got the Trail Aire Tri-glide pin box last year, it was with a promise to get my wife the combo. That'll be done this spring before we hit the roads. It WILL be vented. I would not want all the humid exhaust from the dryer inside the camper. Just my 2 pence worth.

We generally spend 3 to 4 months per year in our Excel, with a long trip being 5 to 6 weeks at a time. We tried to go without a washer for a while when we had the motorhome but the wife did not like the way some of the coin operated machines treated her clothes so we got a Splendide. It has become indispensable especially on our longer trips. She is not tied to a laundromat for however long that takes and can do other things while the washer does its thing. What I am trying to say is the need for one depends on how you use your rv and how you want to budget your time. I know some folks who like using the rv park's machines because they like meeting people. I guess it all depends on how you look at it.

I think it depends on how often you are going to use your RV's washer/dryer reference not being worth it.

The Splendid units are expensive but are well built and the company has a extremely good history of customer support.

If you are full time and traveling then it is probably worth the expense. If you are a part time seasonal camper then maybe not worth the initial outlay.
