Like many others, I just have a duffel bag with me that I use for laundry. Have no problem packing for 3-4 week trips without doing laundry along the way. I like to hang whatever is deemed "dirty" overnight to air out prior to placing it in the duffel. The duffel is stored up on the overhead bunk with other miscellaneous storage (sleep in rear corner bed) - and I don't have to worry about whether the shower floor is dry when I want to store it.
I've looked at the portable and manual washers, but haven't needed one yet. I've had people ask about getting an RV with a washer/dryer and I always respond that it depends on the type of camping you do. I prefer to boondock and have as small a rig as will meet my needs - both of these factors make any RV sized washer/dryer not a good fit for me. My rig doesn't have room for that purpose and I don't have unlimited water/sewer/power while boondocking, so I'd need to pay for a campground anyway. Might as well use their facilities (or a laundromat) and get multiple loads done simultaneously in less time than an onboard facility would take.
