At last, at last, at last....

Finally there is a clothes washing machine you can have in almost any sized RV.

well in reading, it says you can't wash towels or sheets in the thing and a single pair of jeans at a time... I wonder if there is a size limit on jeans you can wash?

I think I will pass. that is too much pedaling for me. the rubbermaid tub in the shower going down the road will be less work.

Similar in size and capacity, somewhat different in operating mode: this hand washer gizmo is cheaper and available (well, soon off of backorder). It doesn't spin or wring, though.

That would be perfect for me. I'm a single RVer. My "wardrobe" consists of socks, underwear, pocket T-shirts, and two pair of jeans. Doing laundry inside the RV would allow me to cut back to one pair of jeans. Just like home. 🙂

Thanks for that link. ("Binder clips: The duct tape of office supplies". Too funny!)

What a great idea. I can see a market for this for sure.

You don't want to know....

I'm still trying to understand a "bean day".

[garyhaupt]

Actually, if one can believe the information it does a fair amount in one load. Only one pair of jeans, but after that...3pr socks, 3 pr undies..(after an active bean day even), and 3 T shirts, all in one laod. Thing of it is..when I lived on the road, I carried 7 of everything. So, once a week, I was at a laundry. Something like this might be the cats meow for a boondocker that is out for an extended time. Or, perhaps if money is the issue.

Would probably work better than a regular salad spinner. Too funny!

Thanks for posting that, Gary.

[FlatBroke]

Might be good for washing out a couple of danties after an active bean day. About it.

[Cloud_Dancer]

Thanks for reminding me how great my Splendide (vented).
