If you go back at look at all the responses, you'll find that those who say they don't need or want one, don't have one or a large enough coach to fit one in. So their view/opinion is kind of limited to them criticizing something they don't/can't have.
A few, who have room for the older all in one units (you can tell this by the year of their coach) say they would rather have the cabinet space. Well I had one of those coaches, 2005 Diplomat. It came with room for an all in one unit, but we elected never to install one. My primary reason was the trade off between an all in one versus doing laundry at the campground was about the same. They were just not that useful, but many full timers found them better than campground laundries.
When we bought our new coach, a stacked washer and dryer was a must. Even on short trips it comes in handy. We often camp with our young grandkids, who have accidents and often will run their bedding through our machines. On several occasions, we've helped friends who were stuck and need to do laundry.
The moral of my post, hard to accept the opinion of someone who doesn't have a washer/dryer or the room for one.......kind of human nature!
I don't think any of that makes another's opinion unacceptable. Obviously, you wanted/needed a W/D when you bought this new coach, so you bought a coach with room for it. I have no want or need for a W/D so I bought an RV without room for one. I have a W/D at home, so I know what it can do and when it would be useful. I have yet to need that while I'm camping so why would I buy a rig that will fit one? If I were fulltiming or traveling for months at a time, many of my choices for a desirable rig would be different than what I chose.
