If you can afford it, then the best new full-timing units currently sold new are DRV, Excel, New Horizon and Lifestyle. Very hard to choose between these....
Don't let people fool you that DRV uses Lipert frames hence they are******- not all Lipert frames are created equal.
Choosing washer/dryer for RVs seem a bit tricky. I'm thinking of 2-in-1 Splendide unit, but I've seen more than few people complain about the dryer producing lots of wrinkles. Some people use portable residential units successfully, but this requires your trailer to be plugged in, unless you have incredibly large bank of batteries.
The fact is Lippert builds what the "average" RV mfg wants...light and cheap.
DRV uses Lippert but they build the frames how DRV wants them. Example DRV specs a tripple boxed 2"x15" frame, very strong compared to the "average" I beam frame that will twist and flex and cause welds to break over time.
