It would be easier to lather up and jump in the lake with your dirty clothes on, then bask in the sun. :B
At the end of the day , you will probably end up breaking the dryer from miles of repeatedly bouncing and shaking it inside an rv storage compartment tub . Don’t be surprised ‘if it no work’ when you go to dry.
When you mentioned using plywood to line the tub to distribute the dryers weight .
The tub is still only being held in place using small screws and maybe caulk on a narrow lip screwed into soft pine wood . That ‘s the ‘weak link ‘ .
I would use steel supports under the tub . Two straps welded/bolted to the frame.
I would go beyond a stated weight rating of a plastic tub.
Have you considered using a rear hitch rack with a locked secure box ? Some racks are rated at 500# using a 2x2 hitch.
I would run an outlet to the rack so i could plug in the dryer while traveling. You could call it ‘Dry n Drive’ .
