Bingo, we haven't used powder for many, many years, but we are in the experimenting stage with our first Splendide Combo. I'm assuming you guys have had no problems with the powder? Also what kind of Fabric Softener does everyone use. I'm not trying to hijack this thread, but figured this was a good place to ask my questions also. I ordered the book, "Wrinkle-Free RV Laundry" from Sandra Jones, took her advice and I've never seen clothes so wrinkled. I think I was doing a lot better before I read her book. Keep in mind, I'm a man and have never been very good with laundry, even at the stick house.
