In my humble opinion I would not consider a W/D
1- added weight to haul
2- severe shaking promotes breakage hence repairs needed
3- washing by hand in the sink is easy for one guy.
4- select non cotton easy dry fabrics for sheets and clothes.
5- use a smaller towel
5- more space to store your stuff in the camper
Ditto to the above.
Technical/quick dry travel clothing is easy and light weight to wash. Hand washing in a tub/bucket is easy. Hell, I've seen a guy do laundry in a heavy duty garbage bag, which is actually pretty smart and effective. If you're chasing the sunny climates, hanging to dry is easy. Or hang in your shower. Used bio soap and you can dump it outside and not fill your grey tank.
A friend does his in his apartment bath tub. Uses a drywall mud masher to agitate. (Looks like a jumbo potatoe masher)
W/D is a lot of space and weight for a single purpose, non-daily use machine.
