How And Where Do You Do Your Laundry?

I use a commercial laundromat. Since I'm by myself I don't have to do laundry too often. One problem I've found with using a facility I hadn't used before is lack of hot water. Some laundromats provide decent hot water, many don't. Sometimes the driers leave something to be desired, too. Some get good and hot while others are only lukewarm and require extra quarters. Some timers on driers are set for 6 minutes/.25 whereas others give you 8 minutes for the same quarter.

GF..she handles it

being folks who travel extensively and have less than zero interest in spending a single second in a Laundromat, we have had separate washers and dryers in both our former '02 Sunnybrook Titan 33FKDS TT and our current '06 Sunnybrook Titan 34BWKS 5er .... all one has to do is bring up the subject of having a washer/dryer and there will be a host of folks happy to jump in and tell you that there is no way a person should want them .... I couldn't care less what is best for others but for us, we won't own a camper without them

Campground laundry facilities, if the campground has them. Otherwise we use a local laundromat.

We are fulltimers and currently workamping at a forestry park where we are supplied a washer and dryer to use. When we are on the road we have used the laundry services of many rv parks (all have been good and most cheaper than a commercial laundry mat). When we are working at a campground without a washer/dryer I go into town to the laundry mat. We are usually in small town areas and I have also found these laundry mats to be neat, clean and workers very nice.

As full-timers we carry all of our clothes so we have plenty to get us through two weeks. We purposely ordered our motorhome without a washer/dryer - wanted the storage space instead and didn't want to bother doing laundry every day and a requisite would be to have a sewer hookup. We stay in public parks with no hookups. We go into town and always find a laundry. We do our 2-weeks' worth of laundry in a 2-hour time and then do other errands in town. It's not a big deal for us...we just want it done all at one time.

Previously my wife and I were long distance green water voyagers and there we just put our clothes in a porous laundry bag and pulled the bag behind the boat for a while. Then, hung them up and let the wind shake the salt out of them. Due to medical problems we changed from boats to fivers.

We had a washer and dryer in our first fiver, but when we purchased this fiver new we opted not to get a washer and dryer. We didn't like the extra weight and we could take the space used for the washer/dryer for extra storage.

Everyone has their own method of RVing. No way is wrong unless it gets you into trouble. We like to move a lot. A week to ten days is about the longest we stay in any one place. And, when we are camped for a while it is not chore to take our dirty's with us to the laundromat when we go out shopping. And, we carry enough clothes that we can go a month without washing if we have too.

Google "city name"+laundromat. Up pops a Google map with all of the laundromats. Sometimes there are even user reviews,complaining or raving about the facilities.

As a rule I don’t stay in commercial parks so I don’t have that option. But it’s essentially a non-issue. We carry clothes for about a week and when it gets close to wash time we just watch for a Laundromat, they’re practically everywhere. I don’t recall ever having trouble finding one when traveling.

Me too.
