Washing/drying in RV

We just upgraded our 5th wheel to a new unit. For the first time we have the washer/dryer hookup. I would like to know what other folks opinions are on whether you like/dislike, brand, vented/ventless or info you have experienced.

  • Last year we spent about $10 a week on washing/drying at the campground. Mainly because we only washed once a week. But it is only the two of us and I can do one or two loads every day or three! $40 a month on laundry would pay to eat out and I like that even better!
  • Thank you so much for the rapid response! We are getting ready to leave on our annual 6-month journey and are trying to decide if we want to have one installed. Did you have yours installed at your RV dealer? We don't have to much faith in our dealer to accomplish a job such as this.
  • We have a splendide vented and love it. Do a small load every couple days and no dirty clothes
  • Love the ability to start a load and leave. Vented is the only way to go.
    Do they require small loads? You bet. But since we dont have to search out or waste a day washing clothes so what? We usually wash one or two loads a day every three days or so. Works for us. Others hate the convenience and dont have one.
    Splendid seems to be the most popular brand.
