4x4..not needed by us in over 18 months of traveling "full time". Of course, one of our objectives is to NOT be in locations where hundreds of inches of snow or icy hills are factors! LOL..Seriously, we havn't encoutered any situation where 4x4 was a necessity, or even close.

Washer/drier...the size combo units available are just too small for our liking. From what we've seen, you can't do more than a couple of bed sheets at once. and it takes a LONG time for the drying. Lots of water usage as well. Unless you are hooked up to 50 amps, I'm not so sure that it is really a usable situation..certainly not if air conditioning is also necessary. We have found that about 50% of our locations do not have 50 amp service.

As Vicki mentioned, some places have less than optimal laundry facilities, but we have found that most of the larger places are OK. In general, we have found it saves a lot of time and effort to do 3 or 4 loads at once and get it over with. We use the W/D area for clothing storage. Prep is there, just not used.

Best Regards,
