Exactly how we had to do our dirty clothes on camping trip when I was a 'Cub Scout'-------1960s
I hope it was a new plumbers friend.

If I need to do just skivvies or a bathing suit (that contraption won't fit any more than that) there's always a sink, stream or lake nearby (biodegradable soap of course).

I opened the web site and then went to the 'how it works' page.
I cannot think of a good reason to purchase this item.
I can 'wash' light things in the sink with a mini washboard.
Heavy items wait for the laundromat - and this thing would not seem good for jeans and work pants anyway -their example is a pair of socks!
Not for me - Thanks
I agree for small and one at a time items my existing plastic "DISH PAN" and some Dawn or Woolite does just fine, is free, and already serves another needed purpose.
Larry - bukhrnExplorer IIII don't see an RV'er having a use for it, but it might be useful for tenters, as long as they don't have to backpack it. And even then,it would all depend on price.
- dodge_guyExplorer IIWhat am I looking at? It's just a link to some site that says wait till 7-23-2016!
If it wasn't a mod that posted it I would say someone was trying to sell something! - BumpyroadExplorer

Nothing novel there, small people powered washing machines are old hat, Amazon has the EasyGo for $50 (the price for the one the OP linked to is a serious jam job, I think they're playing people for saps, trying to make it sound virtuous to buy one of the contraptions, what a racket). We had an EasyGo, it did a decent job but it was a pain in the ass, we ended up just going to a laundromat. If the laundromat will do the wash that's better yet, money well spent (for us, anyway).
yep, they are playing the "green" card. but use water to wash, drain, use water to rinse. anybody know the $$$price?

- dbblsExplorerIt would take forever to do laundry. Not for me.
- mowermechExplorerNot for me. For one thing, I have too much stuff in the motorhome now, I don't need to add a gimmick like that.
For another thing, many campgrounds forbid clothes lines. Once the clothes are washed, where is one supposed to hang them to dry?
It doesn't look big enough for a pair of jeans, a shirt, socks and underwear. If I can't do a full change of clothes all at once, I don't want to mess with it.
It is kond of a neat gadget, but I don't think I will be buying one.
