    We are half timers and would not be without our slow small W/D. We usually boondock five days/week and still do one load while off the grid.
  • We don't. Storage IS at a premium, we boondock 90% of the time therefore it would use up all our water (and not sure the dryer would run on a generator). I LOVE going to laundromat and having everything done in 2 hours.

    Here's food for thought.....are you planning to go to RV parks??? We've seen in the RULES of a couple of parks that we're not to use our washer/dryers (if we have them). I can imagine it takes a lot of electricity and the smaller parks may have septic problems if everyone used them. My guess...not sure why.
  • No laundry. We're full-time and needed the space. Plus most feedback we had prior to starting our journey led us this way. After 8 months, we still are happier using the laundry's rather than giving up the space. It's just one more thing you can do together (or not)??
  • We don't. Storage is such a premium. I would rather spend an hour or so at the laundrymat. And most campgrounds have laundry facilities so really not much of a hassle.
  • No laundry. Takes up too much space and weight. I can do four loads at a campground laundry in about an hour that would take hours and hours in a MH w/d. And, we don't spend enough time hooked up to water and electricity to make it worth while.
