OK, Washer and Dryer in your RV...Do you use them?

Bosch 220V washer and Whirlpool 220V dryer, we would not be without them!!!

Oh another thing we will always have from now on is a Dishwasher!

Last mh had a w/d in it. DW loved it. She would do the laundry on the way home from our camping trips so we had to put one in the 5er also. It came prepped so it was a simple install. Won't be without one now.

How much water does a wash cycle use?

How much energy to dry?

Can they be run while on the road in motion?

In case not obvious, I am a newbie! Looking to learn as much as I can before diving in.

The "No washers" rules are sometimes related to limited sewage or water treatment capacities. I know of one park for instance, where the sites use the parks own well and RO treatment system, but the office and small laundromat are on a municipal water line that's not large enough to serve the whole park. A "No dryers" rule may be similarly related to limited park power capacity.

Just a note on the subject; I recently stayed at 2 RV parks that had a rule against using your washer/dryer. I'm not sure of the origin of this (WRVPO?).

It may be septic or it may be that they want to make money from the laundromat.

Did they have an Inspector coming around and checking?

No, actually. One of these parks had all sorts of rules (like walk your dog on your site, not on the park roads) that were being ignored by the seasonals. I wondered how they would know if you were using your washer.

We are long trippers. Usually trips in excess of 100 days. The space intended for laundry installation is far more valuable as storage & pantry than holding a washer & dryer which hold next to nothing.

Every 2 weeks we use a CG or coin op laundry, use 3 or more real sized machines one time & in a few hours all is done & put away for another 2 weeks.

Well, you gotta put all those dirty clothes somewhere! If you had a stackable, you wouldn't have to bring so many clothes so the loss of space is really just a 'wash'.

A washer and dryer is especially important for someone like yourselves, long-term travelers. I can't imagine spending my time in a laundry facility.

MM.

All the time. Don’t miss going to the laundromat when we had our older coach

We also have a W/D pair (Splendide Ariston)and the DW loves them. We don't use them much for weekend trips but on our beach trips they get used almost every day. Would not have another trailer without them.
