Many RV's have vent less units. The unit uses cold water to condense the hot humid air inside the drum during the dry cycle. That condensation is then pumped out the waste line, no moisture is released into the RV. If it is in an RV, best to have FHU's.
The real problem with them is the fact you wash, then dry, before you can wash a second load. Makes for a long wash day. Most RV'ers with them do small loads daily. Or, they do just what is needed, then take everything else to a laundry place and run multiple loads. Vented or vent less doesn't change much if you have an all in one unit an drying on 110v.
Can you in fact set the whole cycle, though, so that if you're gone all day long, they'll be dry when you return, rather than just sitting there and waiting to go into the dryer?
On our older Spendide you need to initiate the dry cycle separately from the wash cycle. However the unit the OP referenced (and the smaller RV size sold by Dometic) I believe the dryer can be automatic. As a practical matter my DW has found it beneficial to remove and shake the clothing after washing. Something about it not doing well while plastered to the inside of the drum after spinning.
