We are looking to make a 'practice' run this Spring, making a cross country trip for 6-8 weeks. It could very easily lead to a full-time period, depending on how it (and some work items) works out. ...
We have used both laundry in town and at campgrounds. There always seem to be more units in town, so it does not take nearly as long to do. I could not imagine buying new clothes or sending them home to be done. It seems that the units in town also work a lot better. JMO
