Gotta store it, gotta feed it, gotta carry it. If it washes a single pair of pants and shirt it beats the hell out of a rock and scrub brush down at the stream.

I bought a Wonder Wash to use in between runs to the laundry mat. Much less expensive, but not worth it. It didn't do anything more than I would do if I just filled the sink with wash water, washed by hand and then rinsed. It used more water. I'd just use a sink or bathtub. I've read that a good way to do it is using a new/clean toilet plunger as your agitator working it up and down mixing the clothes around, in, out, like a washer would, then rinse, wring and hang to dry.

The HOT SETUP is two buckets, laundry soap, and an entertaining novel. Fill buckets half full of dirty clothes. Add soap then water. Remove shoes and socks. Stand in both buckets. Start marching. When you've finished two chapters, it's time to rinse.

You're in Mexico, find a stream with some large rocks, soak the clothes in the stream and slap on the rocks. Then hang on bushes to dry. Worked overseas a long time; that's the way it's done!

I've heard of using a paint bucket with lid. Put dirty laundry in bucket with soap and water, close bucket and hang in shower with bungie cords, and drive to next camping sight.

We bought a wonder wash and had really good luck with it. When we got it we actually did a test with different soiled clothes, cleaned as good as our home washer.

We also bought a separate spin dryer. This made a huge difference. We could wash and spin dry a couple loads at night hang on rack in shower and they would be dry by morning. (like this: http://www.laundry-alternative.com/product/Mini-Countertop-Spin-Dryer)

Both store under the bed. We used it a lot on our trip cross country. Socks, Underwear, T-Shirts shorts. Forget about heavy clothes like sweat shirts or jackets.

The first one is on sale for $185 and holds 7 lbs of clothes. The one I posted is $99 and holds 5 lbs of clothes. You get 71% of the capacity for 54% of the price, even considering that the first one is on sale. So, yes, it holds less, but is about half the price.

Ever see clothes with holes in them? Clothes need to be agitated or scrubbed with a brush - watch the washer women down at the stream. I'm not too crazy about adding phosphates to a potential water supply either. The traditional way is to rub one section of the article against another. With my method I don't need to wash my feet :)
