- jorbill2orExplorer IIIn every one of these threads I’ve read Folks either hate it and want more storage 50% or wouldn’t be without it 50%. Those who hate it seem to love the storage gained and/ or find it difficult to change washing “style” to get good results and laundromats don’t bother them.
As full timers We are ones who don’t miss the storage “lost” , adapted to the smaller load every day toss run and kinda forget . we go about our day or evening while the machine does it’s thing. The other thing is we/I dislike laundromats. Haven’t used them since college unless I needed something large done.
We have a combo and the only improvement would be a stacked W/D - Two_JayhawksExplorerWe are by no means full timers but I wouldn't be without the washer dryer. I did end up removing the all in one unit from my previous coach as we just hated the wrinkled results. The separate units are just a smaller version of what most of us have in the home. On our longer trips we almost always scheduled a day to either use the CG washers or go to a laundromat. I don't miss that. We also used to insist on way to many clothes, towels, etc. as we were sometimes packing for a couple weeks. Now I travel very light as we usually throw a load in maybe every other day or so.
- Big_KatunaExplorer IIMust have.
- WAFlowersExplorerDW really likes the stacked Whirlpool washer and dryer we have. I know people say they like the space of not having them but our RV is no where near full, so no problem.
- CA_TravelerExplorer IIIWe go to commercial places, fire up 5 washers, dryers, fold, done. CGs are fine if they have adequate machines and are not overly expensive.
MH has a WD which is good for very small loads and it's a supplement that's useful. Without it it would be filled with something, maybe even a lot of extra clothes. - Bird_FreakExplorer IIYes, we do weeks at a time and wife would not go with out it.
- BB_TXNomadDW would get rid of me before giving up her Splendide combo.
- Bill_SatelliteExplorer IIYes, yes, yes. So many campground laundry rooms are very small and usually not terribly well maintained. Trying to get laundry done at a busy campground can be an all day adventure. The disadvantage is that you have to do multiple small loads instead of 1 or 2 large loads simply separated by color or type.
- Sam_SpadeExplorerIF.....you can't BEAR to be without all the comforts of home while on short trips.....maybe you should STAY at home. Honestly.
A lot of long trips and full timers is a different story.
Any extra weight you carry increases the load on your tires and suspension and costs you in fuel.
Only YOU know if it is worth it.....for YOU. - ppineExplorer IIMaybe if you have a giant MH and are a full timer. Otherwise Nyet.
