We have washer/dryer hookups in our 35C but we need the extra storage space far more than any washer or dryer since we full time and boondock a lot.

Www.beadsbythedozen.com has bead bags that are perfect for dirty laundry. They are vinyl with a zipper. We use one a day, and they stack over the cab or on the side or end of the bed.

We use one of those large bags they give out at fairs and RV shows, and keep it in the corner of the bedroom on the floor. Wet things always go in the shower. Should there be an odor issue, there's always room in the outside storage, but that doesn't seem to happen.

Our previous motor coach had a washer/dryer and while it was handy, we haven't missed it all that much. It only did small loads, and drying on 110v took forever. I haven't seen much improvement in combo w/d units since that Splendide we had 10+ years ago. Separate washers and dryers in the bigger rigs probably are much better.

We just returned from pine mountain in pidgeon forge. There were so many big beautiful A rigs at the park, we spent the hottest park of the day inside our fe22 looking at 45' floor plans like the tiftons. Loved them all and love to dream. We are trying to find a manufacturer for our worxcycle.com so we can upgrade one day for longer trips. I still want to keep our baby Thor for short trips

We use mesh bags and put them on the driver's seat as we rarely swivel that seat when parked. For the trip home, anything damp goes in the shower.

You could always stop at a Post Office, and mail the dirty laundry home...

I've done that during my motorcycle trips. I just have never figured out what to say when they ask if my parcel is "hazardous"...

All dirty dry clothes get tossed on my side of the bedroom where no one can see them, but me. Wet goes in the shower. My parents had a w/d in their previous RV. They said it just wasn't worth the weight, money.

We have two very small closets on Drivers side, one has a handing laundry bag. It works great.

I guess that it's time to cue up the "Title Song"

We don’t have an installed washer and dryer but bought this portable one from amazon. Washes well and has a spin dryer with no heat or air. We finish drying everything on a wooden rack that hangs from the ladder.

We travel a lot with the kids and do races (running and triathlons) and it’s nice to be able to do quick small loads of stinky clothes.

It fits perfectly in storage underneath and fits in the shower as for the hamper, we have a pop up hamper that I think is supposed to be an outdoor trash can. Fits perfectly between the bed and the wall, out of the way.

How much can it wash?

Perfect, now I have a new honeydo project for his drill press and plasma cutter. This is genius, thank you for the photo.

This is the one I got > Giantex Portable Mini Compact Twin Tub Washing Machine 17.6lbs Washer Spain Spinner, Blue+ White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ALBMIEI..._OZlvBb1TJF7FH

Washes “11 pounds” of clothes. For me, it washes about half the hamper in 10-15 minutes. Spin dry does half the load in 5 minutes. Then we hang outside or in front of a fan inside.

We love the simplicity of the drying rack. Better than anything we could find anywhere else.

Doesn't that add "work"; to the whole camping experience?
