How And Where Do You Do Your Laundry?

[WoodGlue]

One of the least discussed and overlooked things about being on the road I'm guessing. No apps that I've seen list Laundromats that I'm aware of.

How and where do you do your laundry?

The haier 1.0 portable washer ran its first load, leaked, hubby tightened intake, great machine, happy camper!

That's DW's department but as a rule we always use the laundry room at the rv parks.

At times, I've seriously considered just buying new clothes every week or so.....lol.

We find a babbling brook and beat the clothes on a round rock.:B

We have a plastic jar that we save quarters in for coin operated laundries (mostly at campgrounds), toll booths, etc.

There is no space in tt, could the washing machine be attached to cargo holder?

If you do your own laundry without a machine consider buying the Laundry Alternative spin dryer - your clothes will come out almost dry. http://www.greencupboards.com/laundry-alternative-spin-dryer-97514/p/

Just throw it into the closet next to the bed, in less than an hour it's done. Why would I use a machine someone's dirty laundry has been in? I KNOW what's been in my machine.

Hmmm....whenever I just throw something in the closet,it just lays there..you must have a "magic closet"
Sorry,just could not help myself! 🙂

OK nobody said this yet.
Why not just get a plastic bin and soap and water and bungie cord it to your back bumber. Clothes will be washing as you go down the road? Still have to dry them though.

Hi All.

Hey all, don't laugh. We do almost nothing but Boon-Docing, On/Off all year long. And some time, some of the very best "Boon-Docking" is in the "Winter time".

When we firast started to ddo our own laundry, we sure didn't want to go way out of our way to do some closths. So I bought us a "Brand New 5 Gallon Bucket". Then drilled a hole in the lid and bought us a Brand New Toilet Plunger with Drilled Holes close to the botton of the Rubber Plunger itself.

We wear almost nothing but "Tee Shirts", and "Short Sleeve Tops" for the DW. A little bit of Laundry soap, One rinse of clean Water, as we have a "Water Filter" and an on-board Water Softner. It doessn't take hardly any time to dry our cloths in our Bathroom.

Our Bathroom has a "Fantastic Fan", with a "Maxxi-Cover" on it, plus a "Sky-Light", that I can keep open to the Light, or Closed.

Our cloths drys very quickly either in the Summer Time or the Winter Time. In the Wniter time, a little bit of help with a "Buddy", "Mr Heater".

It doesn't take me oor my DW but a few minutes to get our cloths pretty darn clean, almost as well as at home. We are very well "Set-Up for Boon-Docking".

Heat and Power is never an issues for us at all. Any time of the year or what ever the Weather brings us. Check out our Signature. Two things we never, ever have to worry about is "Heat", "Cooling" and "Power". We can easily go past our Motorhomes 30 AMP Limit, anytime we feel like it.Got of coarase a bit, but keeping clean clothss for us is no real problem at all. Its easy and it fast. Plus, how much room does "One 5 Gallon Bucket, and "One Toilet Plunger" take up anyways. Oh, and don't forget the Soap. Works great for our needs.

Good Luck. Happy Travelas. Dan & Jill

Thanks everyone for the great replies!

I'd forgotten about POI Factory (for the Tom Tom) and also the app for Yellow Pages.

It's amazing the range of answers and ideas here!

In our rv.

Most parks have facilities.

Google maps search for one with the zip code of the area should pull one up.

Most places we've set up camp have a laundry at the bath house.
