FIrst do you have a gasser or a Diesel? In a gasser the Cargo Carrying Capacity is often less than 1,000 pounds. and adding a couple hundred pounds of washer/Dryer cuts into that BIG TIME.
When We got our MH. Wife and I considered the cost of a Washer/Dryer v/s Park Laundry.. Based on the anticipated life of a Splende W/D we felt it was right close to break even.. Just had to help another RVer diagnose his W/D (Bad drain pump) So I think we got it close.. Plus the park machines are much larger than the RV machines. Bedding for example would be two loads. v/s one and I toss in some towels to equalize the 3 machines I use once a month.
That said. I am considering a portable.. Sometimes I just need to wash a few things.. Currently when that happens I hand wash but it would be so much easier with a portable machine.> But NO ROOM AT THE INN (portables are even smaller but are also lighter).
