Seems that most responses are in favor of on board W/D. We full time now for 2 1/2 yrs. and do not have them, nor can we imagine having them. We do laundry every two weeks and takes less than 3 hrs to wash, dry, fold. We always do lunch out that day and sometimes groceries. Then, for two weeks absolutely zero bother with doing one load at a time nearly every day, the messing with soap and sorting on board. It kinda ties you down if you need to do laundry Tuesday, then something comes up?... We like the freedom 'from' laundry, but since it's a necessity we get it done in one short time period instead of taking a coffee break from laundry on board. But, to each their own. Having the machine on board, instead of a convenience to us they are a nuisance.
