LOL. My wife doesn't see the need for one. Plastic silverware and paper plates and all.
Serious answer here - Before dishwasher we would run out of water when we dry Camped - DW, is not a Paper Plate Person - Wine must be served and be drunk from a glass - Red Solo Cup for Me!
So when we had the Coach build we spec'd a Fisher and Paykel - Now I can Shower in the evening after the dishes are done and still have water to clean up in the morning after unloading the dishwasher.
We are all different so get what works for you - We Boondock and we use plates and glasses - so it pays to have one.
JMHO - scbwrExplorer IIIf we had one, we'd use it. If we had room for one, I'd consider installing one. So, we will continue to have "quality time together" not only while cooking but while cleaning up afterwards. When on the road and even when spending longer amount of time escaping winter, doing dishes the old way doesn't seem to be an issue.

Well,
Everyone's got opinions on this. I myself, have never been a fan of dishwashers. I call them "dirty dish closets". Since they're capable of storing lots of dirty dishes, meal after meal, 'till they're full enough to run a cycle, the dishes just sit, like being in a closet.
The wife cooks about 80-90% of the time, and I cook the 10-20%. But, I do 100% of the dishes. And I like doing them right after we eat, within a given time frame. Besides, we don't have an on board dishwasher. To each his own.

We don’t have a MH, just a good size 5er, to me a waste of space! We have a nice double bowl sink. No need for a mechanical DW. - Sultan1966ExplorerHad our Contoure dishwasher (not dish drawer) installed when we had Furrion induction cooktop installed. Use both daily.
- DutchmenSportExplorerAbsolutely:
- JoeHExplorer IIIWe use it all the time....works great, doesn't use much water and is very quiet.

They run just fine even if not full.

It never completely emptied, when the rig was first plugged in it would cycle leaving water in it. The last time I thought it needed service I just had the stupid thing removed. Now I have a really big cabinet that holds all my pots and pans! There are only 2 of us so there aren't that many dishes.
- IvylogExplorer IIIConsider putting one in when I removed the oven/cooktop but DW (Dish Washer) decided storage for pots/pans more important.
- novi2someExplorerWe have one in our new to us Tiffin Phaeton. My wife did not want it. After staying in it this past winter in Florida, my wife loves it and uses it all the time. It is now on the required list.
