Help looking for washer for full time use

Just starting out being F/T RVers as we both just retired. Never needed a washer before due to short trips, but now that we will be spending months at a time looking for help with types of washers that hold up my rig is set-up for a washer/dryer already.
Thanks for any help.
  • We have the Combo vented unit also from Splendid...Love it. Funny, I had to pull it out yesterday because on the drying cycle it would shut down. Had to de-lint the exhaust. On another note, if you don't mind a scratch and dent unit, you can get on their waiting list to pick up a fully warranted unit for roughly half price.

    We been about 2 years with the Splindide 2100XC. Like Ken said excellent machine and works well. We don't let laundry build like in the S&B house, do a load every few days while watching TV.

    We have a tension rod sets just over the shower enclosure, we hang sheets over night & perma press shirts to take wrinkles out. There customer service is beyond good. I called with and issue, they asked about flashing lights & told me exactly what the issue was. (Self installed & too long an exhaust hose) Never asked when I bought or serial number.
  • Has anyone ever used the Panda compact portable washing machine or any othere portable compact washing mahine?

    Have a Splendide since camper was new (about 4 years) worked fine till couple weeks ago it wouldn't finish the wash cycle and is throwing a h5 code I think. It worked good but I don't think I will replace it with another Splendide. I'm going to take it out and see if I can find a repair shop. If it's too expensive to fix I'm looking at another brand.


    Call them for tech support before you do to much. I can get you the contact info when I get home. OK, I got home. Call Westland Sales. Ask for Jake if he is still there. 800-356-0766. Have the serial number available.

  • Does that mean you'll be spending a lot of time in RV parks?
  • We've had a MayTag stacked washer dryer in our 5th wheel since 1996. It's still going strong. Also have a MayTag stacked set in our house. Both have provided years of trouble free service.

    They do a great job of cleaning and drying the clothes.
