Washer/dryer

I can only relate personal experience.
We lived full-time in a fifth wheel in which there was a Splendide combination vented washer/dryer. That thing did 2 loads of clothes nearly every day for over two years, with no trouble at all!
Each load consisted of one set of clothes; that is, underwear, socks, shirt, trousers. Keeping the load light like that pretty much eliminated wrinkles, even though the loads did not always get removed from the drum in a timely manner.
We were well pleased with the vented Splendide combo unit.

We installed the Splendide 2100xc combo in our Alpine last year. The dw likes not having to lug clothes to the laundromat. The only issue I have is the clothes tend to come out wrinkled. A good investment if you are on the road for weeks at a time.

We purchased the Splendide 2100XC washer/dryer combo several years ago. Seeing as how it is just the wife and myself. We found this combo more than enough for our needs. Works great, never had an issue with it and would recommend it as an alternative to the stackables should you want or need to go that route. Doesn't hold as big of a load and takes a little longer to wash and dry, but again, just the two of us and it has met our needs.

I too had been told to steer clear of the Majestic brand when I was debating on what washer/dryer combo to put in my 5er..Got most of my information searching on internet and of course from the people on this forum..........experience speaks volumes:)

I'm in the process of installing the Splendide stackables right now. I bought the Splendides after a lot of research because they are built for RV/Marine use. What that means to me is that they probably put some thought to pounding in rough seas and pounding on rough roads when they designed the units. Apartments don't experience this activity, so I discounted the apartment type units made by Whirlpool and others. I'm sure they are fine machines as I have sworn by Whirlpool all my life for my bolted to the ground type homes.
I completed my washer installation last weekend and we ran it through one wash. Wow! I will be able to sleep while it is running. I can't believe how quiet it is! I'll finish the dryer this weekend.

Sigh. One post in and already eating my feet.

I used the search function on Majestic RV's and read a few slams on them so when I came across this in the search engine I just read the last post and immediately began "defending" them. Your point is well taken. I have nothing to contribute to the Majestic clothes washing equipment lol.

I apologize for jumping the gun.

Had Splendide in our old fiver, got side by side Whirlpools in this one. Wife likes the Whirlpools better because she can wash and dry more clothes faster.

Majestic is not a brand. It is a model, owned exclusively by Cruise America. The brand is Fourwinds, or Thor, and they make excellent RV's, some of the best. You were probably "swayed" away from Majestic by someone who thinks buying a rental is bad news. I am here to say this is NOT TRUE. If you dont put a ton of miles on (ie are like most working families whose RV sits most of the year and you maybe put 2000 miles a year on) then it is very, very hard to beat the value of the Majestic line.

P.S. Fourwinds has special manufacturing processes for RV's that C.A. orders. The units are a little simpler in design, but there are many areas throughout that are actually built stronger than the average RV. Full tongue and groove floors are one example. Solid wood construction on all cabinet doors are another. They are not built like you average unit on the lot, but rather to withstand the extra use they will get. Ours is a perfect example on how the "extra use" did not seem to affect it. We are very happy with it!

I know you just joined yesterday, but you might want to make a habit of READING the post before you comment. Majestic is a brand of appliances made by Majestic Appliances in Vancouver Washington and they don't make RVs, they aren't owned by Thor, they were never rentals, all they do is wash clothes which is what this topic is about.

I guess you will hear cheers from everyone's brand they selected, because overall I think they all do the job. The exception may be Majestic. Don't want to knock them if folks have good luck with them, and I've never owned that brand, but I was steered away from them at Camping World.

We have stackable Whirlpools...wouldn't ever give them up!
