Washing Machine question.
Hello!
We are soon-to-be full-timers, and one of my biggest areas of nerves about this transition is laundry. We cloth diaper, so I do a lot of laundry, and well, ain't nobody got time to sit in the laundry room for the three wash cycles it takes to get diapers clean. I am debating between two units to put into our TT:
http://www.amazon.com/Package-Panda-Portable-Compact-Capacity/dp/B005GM942C/ref=pd_sim_la_10
It doesn't have a spin cycle though, which would be a bummer.
and this:
http://www.amazon.com/Haier-HLP21N-Pulsator-1-Cubic-Foot-Portable/dp/B002UYSHMM
Does have a spin cycle, but is much larger and would take up more space. Bonus of it being larger would be bigger loads of regular clothes though.
Anyone with more experience know if hooking this up to the bathroom sink would be an issue? I know the water heater only heats so much at a time. Also, I'd prefer that it drains to the black tank on cloth diaper loads, but I guess it's not required. If I lay the drain in the toilet, will it automatically go down when there's enough water in the bowl, or will I have to shove the hose down past the flappy thing? (technically speaking, of course).
Also curious if anyone has had any fuse issues running portable washers, or if we should be okay plugging into the bathroom outlet.
Any advice and experience is welcomed and appreciated as we are brand new to the RVing world!
Thank you!
