portable washer and dryer with a twist.
I have been pondering installing a washer and dryer in my 5th wheel RV. I have looked at the Splendides and others, most are quite expensive and have only fair to poor reviews. So I have come ...

Thanks for the replies. I should have started a thread on dryer balls! :D
The washers I'm looking at operate just like the full size ones and do between ten and fifteen pounds of laundry, they have full hook ups and temperature controls as well. The only thing I wish they had is the full size agitator in the middle. There was a unit several years ago with this feature, but it is no longer made. The dryers I'm looking at have the controls in the lower corner, so that shouldn't be an issue.
I did not think about the reach and if it would be a problem when loading the dryer, I will have to check this. The sliding shelves are built for shops and are designed to carry several hundred pounds and slide easily, so I should have no issue sliding it in and out.
The dryers I'm looking out are well over two cubic feet. There is one that is over three cubic feet but is just over 24 inches and width. I might be able to get it in if I can get it through the door.
I am planning on using a vented dryer.
The washers I'm looking at are around 275-400 max and the dryers are running similar depending on features like electronic controls or manual controls.
I should mention that the pull out slides are full ball bearing slides used in pantry slide outs, one hand pull with locking detentes.
The shelf glides are around 70
dryer vent
washer pan with drain
some wood shelf material
One question has come up though. If the dryer draws 12-13 amps and the washers typically draw 5-8 amps. and a typical circuit is 15 or 20 amps max, how do people run both of them at the same time? There's only one outlet?
