Poll: How Many Have Washer/Dryer?

[cwalker]

Just curious, how many people have:

Washer
Dryer
Washer/Dryer combo
Nothing

[Mudchief]

We have a washer and dryer.

[H. John Kohl]

Stack-able washer and dryer.
splendid

[DonandBonnie]

We have the combo and use it regularly. Some things we dry in it, others we wash and hang out on our home made clothes line.

[BB_TX]

Splendide combo.

[hookman]

We have a Splendide Combo

[NCFischers]

Splendide Combo and love it.

[awaywego]

We have the whirlpool stack-able.

[Drifty1]

Splendide combo...

[HOOK]

Splendide combo

[DAR]

Splendide Stack

[CORattler]

Nothing. For us it falls into the same category as a dishwasher.

[8.1al]

Splendide combo

[bigskyjimmy]

Nope, for us and we are fulltime it is too much weight and takes up room,our resort's that we stay at have laundry facilities that are nice and clean and cheap and we can do big loads in them BUT some people LOVE them and would not do without them

[washley1]

Splendide Combo, and we love it!

[davidaf]

We have stackables. We miss them when we dry camp. Not the fan of running to the laundry mat.

[Bigboomer]

We have the Splendide Washer/ Dryer ventless....if had to do again would go with vented!

Otherwise we like the combo.

[1retired06]

Wife does not want, protects her storage.

[cjohnson]

Splendide Combo

[DarMar]

Splendide combo(vented), will never be without one again.

[JandC]

Splendide side by side vented. Had vented Splendide combo in last Montana. We would not be full time without a washer and dryer, just like we would not live in a stick built without one.

[Captain Joe]

Side by side Splendide washer and dryer.

[napria]

Splendide stacking units. Love them! Will not do without them again. They wash as well as my front loader He washer and dryer at home. And we are only now and then vacationers (not full timers, not long timers)

[TheCoachPotatoes]

We love our Splendide Combo!

[commish]

Splendide combo

[Carole]

A lot of people love them, but I won't give up my storage for w/d or dishwasher. Just my preference, but I wouldn't give up my fireplace, large frig or Direct Tv.

[oldelmer1]

We also have the Splendide Combo.

[mhs4771]

Vented Splendide combo, but next rig will have stacked or side by side, depending on floor plan.

[Recumbent]

Splendide side by side vented and DW uses it all the time, keep gray sewer drain open.

[cwalker]

I was just curious, even though I know this poll was not scientific. On the new models (several of them including the 3611 we just ordered) they've put hookups for the washer on the right and the dryer (if you have both) on the left in the closet. We have the vented combo. In order to operate the washer you have to move the clothes that are hanging, crawl up in the closet or lean waaay in. Then you have humidity in the closet with your clothes. The reason, according to Keystone, is that only 5% of owners have washers/dryers. I don't know if that's true or not, but I do know that's going to be one of the first mods on our unit. Unfortunately the door in front of the washer/dryer does not slide, and there's a bench in front of it. I would sacrifice the bench to be able to have the front of the washer/dryer facing into the bedroom and a wall between the closet and washer/dryer. I have a feeling this new 'feature' in their floor plan won't last two years.

[napria]

Ours is in the kitchen, in what could be a big pantry, stacked one above the other. I've looked at those floorplans with the washer on one side of the closet and the dryer clear across on the other. Since I use my machines almost every time we go out, and usually every other day, I've questioned the practicality of the master clothes closet set up.

[Tom S.]

We had the Splendide Combo in our 06 but the wife didn't like how long it took to do clothes and the fact it wouldn't do a large load,so she ended up going to a laundry mat. So the 13 doesn't have one. [8D]

[jfaberna]

The reason we have a Montana is because of the stackable W/D prep. My wife put her foot down and said that any 5W we bought would have a separate Washer and Dryer. She didn't want to spend her days in the laundromat while others were having fun. So we picked the 3402RL which has a closet with W/D prep and it's tall enough to contain a Whirlpool stackable W/D. The dealer installed it and recommended the Whirlpool because of the service network everywhere instead of just CW service for the Spendide W/D.

Turns out the biggest problem with service is being at one place long enough to complete the service process. Whirlpool sent out a service person, but ordering the part and returning proved to be an issue. Now we wait for the next long term camping. Luckily the problem we have is one we can work around, but want fixed while it's covered under warranty.

[Blk_Adventurer]

Washer dryer side by side

[Mynabird]

Combo here!!! ;)

[Neil.M]

Splendide Washer/Dryer Combo here.

[waynemoore]

We have never needed a washer and dryer even though I spend 7 or so months in it. 2 hours or less in a laundromat once a week works just fine for us.
Also DW likes all the extra storage.

[ka9vrx]

We have the Splendide Combo! Use it a lot.

[bbnkansas]

No washer and dryer on board.

[Ozz]

Whirlpool stackable, 220 dryer. Sue Loves it and would not be without it. Big loads and fast drying. I remember early on in our adventures on the road going to a laundrymat, (or down south wash-a-teria) uncomfortable chairs, creepy neighborhood, dirty machines. Made my mind up then to get our own.

http://i59.tinypic.com/kehz0k.jpg

[PackerFan]

Splendid Side-by-side Washer & Dryer. Wife just loves them and we will never be without our own machines again. Always hated the public Laundromats. Nice having our own nice clean washer & dryer!!

[patc73]

Pinnacle combo (like a Splendide).

[napria]

Ozz, my husband could have taken that exact picture of me in our rig the first time I used our stackable units. I was so thrilled to finally have my own washer and dryer with us, but at the same time worried that they had been installed correctly and were running right. I didn't want a flood in our brand new fifth wheel!

Ha! I understand, excitement and apprehension at the same time. It is so nice to have them and not have to go out somewhere.

[old turbo]

Quarters and Soap works fine for us and I do the laundry not my wife. Set timer on my phone and go do my thing or visit and tell lies with the laundry ladies.

[Willy Bee]

I have ordered a Splendide Combo that should be here next week

[Happycamperscolorado]

Splendide combo

[Hiller]

No. We generally use a laundermat

[Ken1781]

Nothing now, going to get something soon.

[OCBMS]

Splendide combo Vented but it is hard on permanent press/no iron clothes

[stillcampin]

Splendide vented combo; small loads only (single king sheet), leaves wrinkles even when careful but better than spending $25 and driving 50 miles round trip every 2 weeks. Haven't been to the laundromat in 8 months, excluding camping trips.

Edit (2/7): Well, that was as of yesterday. My wife decided it was time to plump her fancy 'MyPillow' so off to the laundromat we go. [8D]

[MRSXBADHABITZ1]

Could not live without my splend stackable

[mlh]

As of today Dometic combo.
Lynwood

[Stangin]

I have the new ventless Dometic combo, had it for a few months no issues.

[woodman]

None for us. Takes up too much room and adds too much extra weight. Besides, we own a lot in an RV resort in Ft. Myers and we erected a small shed that is ready for full size stacking W/D, maybe next year.

[DougnDawn]

No washer dryer, weekenders so no need. If we were full timers it would be a different story!! Later, Doug

[dieselguy]

Recreational campers, so no need for the pair. Handy in a pinch, but that pinch would be few and far in-between.

[Ragtacker]

Splendide combo

[Clays390]

Splendid combo - vented.

[jlb27537]

Splendide Combo. This is the 4th one since 1993. Would not be without one.

[Carl n Susan]

Splendide vented for us. We do lots of dry and wet camping. Perfect with hookups. Not so good running off a Honda 2000i.

[Butch & Kathy]

Our outings are two weeks or less so we have not invested in a washer/dryer yet. Retiring soon so we will get one then.

[twindman]

Not I... When I purchased, I researched and at that time (2006) most people said the single unit style took most of a day to dry one sheet. Also, could only get a few pieces of clothes in at a time, so had to do laundry every day. We can go about a week and just use the campground stuff. Maybe newer machines are more effecient??

[Clays390]

I understand that anyone not full-timing may not see the need of having laundry facilities on-board. We full-time and it has been a nice feature to have. That being said we are currently thinking we may go to a class A in the near future. Several of the floor-plans we are looking at do not feature a washer/dryer. Just one more decision we will have to make. we will not give up full-timing any time in the near future. As long as there is a laundry facility in/near the campground we will be good.

[kdeiss]

No for us!

[warren0620]

We have a LG combo ventless and the dw loves it. Why did we wait so long to get it?

[JABURKHOLDER]

None for us. We don't fulltime. Can't justify the expense, weight and loss of closet space.

[Rosebud45]

none.
prefer to use as pantry.

[airboatart]

We have a All in one unit it gets the job done, But will buy separate units next time.

[bigskyjimmy]

Nope in 6 years of fulltiming all the Places we go to have good Laundry facilities and you do Big loads and be done with it and for us they add too much weight and take up too much room as well

[oceandansar]

We have a washer and a dryer wife loves them

[jgavin]

Just curious, how many people have:

Washer
Dryer
Washer/Dryer combo
Nothing

Nothing.

[greenmachine]

Not for us!

[Ricos Ride]

splendid stackable

[stengels]

We do not have one but are in the market for a vented combo unit.

[Bruce0850]

We have a stackable Washer and Dryer (Vented). Only problem is, you have to get on the bed to reach the dryer controls.. It is so high.

[bigred715]

Nothing. It would take up valuable space and eliminate coat closet.

[roothoss1282]

No not in the plans, we do laundry about every 2 weeks and it takes maybe 2 hours to do it all. No big deal for us.

[Bobbymac]

We have the Splendide vented. My wife loves it and does not like putting her clothes in washers that have had who knows what in it.

[adams7806]

We have a Splendide vented combo and love it! We don't use it for sheets or blankets, but it's very handy when we need to do smaller loads of clothes. Never thought I would use it but now I wouldn't be without it!

[Capt Kidd]

No washer and dryer for us. We put something much more important in that space a wine fridge!

[tobad]

Have hookups but not washer dryer yet

[Pattifab]

I was sorry to lose the space for storage, but absolutely love having the Splendide combo. It took some time to learn how to dry without wrinkling, but I've got it down pact now.

[bheckie123]

No washer/dryer for us. Cost of washer/dryer combo, plus occasional maintenance, is much more than our $3/week laundry cost at RV park. Plus we have the extra space!!

[nunya]

just did a $100 parts overhaul on the 10 yr. old Spendide dryer, workin like new again!!

[millyferry]

I've the washer and dryers combo. I love using it.

[AZ Traveler]

Would rather be lighter and have more space. Also with the small load capacity of the installed units would rather just use the RV park machines.

[kdeiss]

No,rather have the space !

[shovelhead86]

I made a pantry with shelves out of the space.

[richfaa]

Spendide W/D f or 11 years. Not your home W/D by a long shot but as we are long timers we need it and use it . Run 2 or 3 loads a week.

[mtlakejim]

Don't have one yet but we just got the new rig with hookups. Plan to get one before long.


Good idea though Capt Kidd!


Patti do share your wash secrets for my wife.

[BuilderBob]

We don't have W\D we like to have the extra space.

[WeBeFulltime]

Would rather be lighter and have more space. Also with the small load capacity of the installed units would rather just use the RV park machines.

Same here, plus wife doesn't want to do laundry EVERY day!:hide:

[Dave W]

Hookups are there but the loss of storage space, cost of purchase and the added 125-150 pounds pin weight on a marginally GVW stickered truck say that a few bucks every week at a laundromat or RV facility will be 'forever' no w/d.

[mainer]

We have the hookups, but do not have the washer and dryer. I still prefer having the extra closet space.
If I buy one, I would buy the separate washer and dryer.

[bowlesj]

Although we have the supposed "lack of storage" 3820FK with the "what were they thinking" laundry location, we installed a Splendide ventless in the roughed in position in the bedroom closet.

We love it. Wouldn't have normally bought a unit to install but got a freebie that needed a new control board. So for that low cost we thought we would give it a try. The tight space next to the bed really isn't that big of deal. We do frequent small loads and the hassle of dealing with crappy campground machines is a thing of the past. Cycle times are long with the ventless, but who cares. Start a load and forget about it for a couple hours. Water and power usage is surprisingly low.

John - 2016 3820FK

[mn442man]

Splendide combo(vented)

[RKassl]

Not for us, that's what laundromats are for. Why carry the extra weight?

[Skw774]

Nothing for us.

[richfaa]

It is true they do small loads and take a long time to dry but it is not like you are beating your clothing with rocks down at the creek. Twirl a dial, push a button and go about your day.

[brute84]

Have the Spendide washer/dryer stackable. Hated losing the storage space, but it is more convenient to me to do small loads every couple of days.

[JandC]

I went back and checked my original 2014 post. Now 2 RVs later I could answer the same, still have an RV equipped with stackable W/D (vented). I think it boils down to what type of RVer you are. If you do shorter more local trips then going to park laundry facilities may not be too bad. Even though we never found we could get by on $3.00 per week going to one. If you are a long time or full time traveler then I suppose you would lean toward having your own W/D on board.

[Lenny K]

We are going to add a washer only before we go to Arizona this fall. Tired of doing the laundromat thing.

[jeffba]

My Wife is in serious lust of a washer and dryer. She hates the fact she has so much laundry to catch up when we get home.

[dhuhn]

We installed a all in one love it, one of the best things we installed. We just put a load in in morning then go do things when we get back, cloths are washed and dried when we returned.

[awheeler]

We also have the Splendide combo. However, the drying cycle goes into error and stops drying after about 10 minutes. Anyone else have this issue? I have spoken to the helpful folks at Splendide but no resolution as yet.

[Goose]

I installed an Electrolux washer and GE dryer in our 2017 3197RD. I chose the Electrolux because of the high speed spin (1400 rpm) to help minimize drying time for a 110v dryer. All is good so far. Only downside is the Electrolux is a few pounds heavier than some (180 lbs),


Goose

[Lenny K]

The Electrolux washer is what we are planning to install. Good to hear that you are happy with it. As we primarily dry camp I'm hoping that the power consumption won't be to high to run off of our batteries.

[Pattifab]

They do smaller loads than a regular washer, of course, but they aren't tiny loads either...depending on what you are washing. You learn, over time, how many clothes to put in it. You also learn what you can and can't dry in them...some things are better to be put on a hanger to dry. And with jeans and slacks, make sure you don't overload it or they turn out wrinkly. But yes, with a washer/dryer combo, you can set the wash and the dry at the same time and not bother with it again until the clothes are ready to fold. Or if you don't want a particular load to dry, you set it not to.

[bowlesj]

The folks at Splendide are quite helpful. If the moderators let it stay, I uploaded the Splendide Training Manual to the files section of this forum that lists error codes and troubleshooting steps to resolve many problems. Very useful manual for Splendide owners. It is also available directly from their web site.

This may help you with your drying cycle issue.

John - 2016 3820FK

[Twopetes]

Do not have one and DW does not want one

[Mr. C]

We have provisions for a washer/dryer but have not acquired one yet. Have only had this Montana for about 9 months. We will get one in the future.

[tumbleWeeds]

We purchased a small portable (plastic) washer that can go in tub, on counter by sink or hook it right up in the closed. Doesn't take much space, has a spinner to remove water. Then you can hang the things in the shower area.

[Dave W]

Since this was supposed to be a poll, have the numbers ever been added up for Yes/No/ Will soon (yeah, I know, do it myself =:whistling: )

[Hotlink]

Would anyone happen to know where I can either purchase or download a video on How To Operate all the controls and switches on my unit?
Thank you!!

[JimRsr]

Just installed Splendide Combo and now have a happy wife/life...

[adams7806]

She will love it!

[Irish Lady]

Splendide combo

[whutfles]

Splendide combo.

[PNW Fireguy]

Ariston separates

[Kyle and Lisa]

Pinnacle W/D stackable.

[footz1941]

I made a pantry with shelves out of the space.

I did the same thing.

[CaptnJohn]

After seeing a woman load 2 washers and looked like she had a brown accident in her pants at a laundromat we did the vented combo in the last 5er. Small loads took too long. Now we have the Ariston separates ~~ so much better. We often go for 3 weeks to 3 months. Never using a laundromat again.

[jeffba]

We went from van conversions to travel trailers because DW did not like using public showers.
Went to a 5th wheel so she has her own washer dryer.

[richfaa]

We had our first failure of our Splendide Combo since we purchased it in 2006 .Control board failed. We are long timers and use the splendide a lot. It was a learning experience as to size of loads , etc. It is a huge convenience yes it does smaller loads and takes a while to complete the entire cycle but who is in a hurry. Would not buy one if we were low end users. The laundry facility at our winter home in Florida is clean well kept and we use that for large items.It takes a least 1 1/2 hours to do a complete wash / dry cycle in the splendide. Their customer service and technical support is awesome. We have visited the plant in Elkhart.

[BUBBA-NONNIE]

My wife and I are trying to decide whether to get a Splendide combo ventless or vented. Which one do you think is the best? I am leaning toward the vented, but I do not want to put another hole in my Montana.

Thank you for your input!!

Do the vented drill the hole.After you drill the fist hole in the Montana the rest come easy.

The combo is not that great but if stuck with it go vented. I'd go to a laundromat in a ghetto at 3AM before another unvented combo.

[whutfles]

Vented. You don't want all of that lint activating your allergies. And if you do any winter camping and run your furnace any you will accumulate moister inside the camper from the heat against the cold walls and windows. Blowing more moist air into the RV from the dryer is a recepie for a lot of moisture problems. If the dryer vent is properly installed and sealed, you'll have no problems with it. Just consult your dealer before you drill the hole. I had a friend who drilled where the sign said "drill here for dryer vent" and hit a stud.

[Lucky23]

Splendide combo vented.

[jking]

Less than 3 yr old vented splendid for sale in twin falls Idaho. Pm me if interested.

[Mikeblan2000]

2018 High Country 345rl. We have the separate washer and dryer up in the front closet. Really like it so far. The washer shakes the whole rig a little when spinning. That's to be expected I suppose.

[myheartsinaz15]

Had Splendide combo vented. Sold and using the space for storage and what I store is a lot less weight on my truck.

[Fred S.]

[Carl n Susan]

Vented Splendide combo for 6 years - DW loves it,

[Justme44]

Splendide combo.

[socoinc]

We just put our clothes in a pillow case & walk over to the laundry mat at the rv park. There’s a spot for washer & dryer in closet but for me to walk over to laundry area is easy. It would be nice if I had more room in my 5th wheel. But that’s life...

[Lenny K]

Just installed an Electrolux washer. As we dry camp 99% of the time we did not install a dryer. The washer works off of our inverter and the rinse water goes into our blueboy.

[dlscott185]

Vented splendide combo. Love it.

[Docweems]

Splendide stackable. Works great. One caution don't dry rugs with rubber backs. This will result in dryer drum sticking and will friction burn through the drum belt. Major job to replace.

[Wess5622]

Can I ask why you would go vented? I am looking at putting one in our 2009 Montania mountaineer 345 DBQ. It’s “prepped” for it but I am nervous about having to put a hold in side of camper to vent.

[CaptnJohn]

:whistling: Like you I was apprehensive on drilling the hole but ~~ hearing how the Unvented dry or don't dry and the condition of the wrinkles vented was the only way to go. After a vented combo we now have the separates, vented dryer of course, and that is the best way. Combos take forever per small load. Vented does a much better job.

[Wess5622]

Hi we have a Montania Mountineer 345 DBQ that is prepped for washer dryer. My first question is vented or not vented? I am not crazy about putting a hole in side of camper but seems like vented works better. Is this a big job or expensive to get done? Could my husband do it himself?

Second question..what model washer dryer combo?

1. SPLENDIDE WASHER/DRYER - EXTRA CAPACITY - VENTED - WHITE - 72-8490

2. Equador Super Combo SK 4400 CV (was Sekido)

[Wess5622]

Thanks!

[BB_TX]

The vented uses warm air to dry the clothes just as a home dryer does. A non vented model heats the clothes causing the water in the cloths to evaporate. At the same time it flows in cold water to condense that water vapor back to liquid form to drain out. The cold water does not get on the clothes. Just causes the vapor to condense, collect with the cold water, and go out the drain. But that process takes time and a lot of extra water.

[Phabask]

Splendid washer and dryer, best thing we installed/then we upgraded to residential fridge happy campers

[Yoquedo]

Stack-able washer and dryer.
Splendid

[GAinaMontana]

Walk around your 5er and count the holes already in the walls. Don't think one more small one will hurt. Go with the vented.

[TennTom]

Splendide Stackable installed at factory.

[Docweems]

Splendid stackable Washer and dryer. Glad we did.

[cpaulsen]

None. Where we host......most have washer and dryers for the hosts......if not...a short trip to the laundromat and 1 1/2 hours later.....3 loads of clothes are done. We value our space where the washer/dryer would be since we full-time.

[mtlakejim]

If we keep the OP in mind then what WE drive or how far we have driven it doesn’t matter. He is obviously concerned about safely pulling his trailer and our answers should reflect that. You can argue all day if it is right or wrong but my answer will be:
A-This what you might get away with short term
and
B-This is the best truck to tow with

If you are considering less than B to replace A you should consider SAFETY above conienence in all but the most extreme circumstances!

Suggesting it is no big deal to buy a truck that does not perform it’s most demanding task with a good safety margin is irresponsible.

I suspect most folks would be better served to buy a duall strictly to tow and a small car as a daily driver. In the long term it would end up being less expensive I suspect as you save on fuel and the big expensive truck will last longer.

[Furbabies3]

We have Splendide side by side in a 3720RL. They are not only convenient, but saves money. Using RV Park water and electricity, laundromat's charge anywhere between $1.50 - $3.75 per washer load, and 25 cents/5 minutes for dryer. Glad we have it! We have switched to a residential Samsung running on inverter. That also is the next best thing we upgraded to.

[lily123]

Splendide Combo

[mipacr]

not yet, maybe later

[CanalesPac]

We have the Splendide stackable set. In our limited experience so far, we're glad to have them. Extended stays with 2 younger children and a tween ... they're totally worth it. I'm still trying to optimize my settings on the dryer (enough dry time without going too hot).
Installation was not easy or fast. Drilling the hole in the side was a time-intensive chore for this rookie family and moving the units into their spaces was challenging for my husband and father (with a little help from me). Needless to say...there were a few unexpected scratches on the bottom of the interior cabinetry on the 1-week-old RV upon completion. Nevertheless, I'm happy overall and those scratches were covered up with Crayola colored pencils. :socool:
We have a pretty chrome vent to the outside that looks like it belongs (I hesitated when I saw chrome in the shopping bag....but it works!) To help others interested in this, we're in a 2018 High Country 362RD and the W/D are installed in the main living area cabinet/pantry (not the bedroom up front).

[Cubbie]

Splendid stackable washer and dryer vented. They are awesome!

[Carried Away]

We have been full timing for 1 1/2 and have not found the need to a washer dryer. We like having the space in the RV and don't want to add to the extra weight of the rig. Besides, it is easy going to the laundromat, spending some time reading or meeting folks.

[Bigrig]

I'll chime in with a Splendide all in one, vented. Works great! Putting in storage in the other half the closet. Our 3811MS is ideal for this setup. Took me a month to decide and it's been none stop washing/drying for a month now. Small loads but time is on our side when full timing.

[Golferdave]

Hey guys:
Just entered 14th year full timing. Had washer/dryer combo in SOB but removed after using only 5 times in first year. Now have a 2013 Montana 3800RE. Plumbed properly but we would rather use the park facilities when staying for any length of time and go to the laundromat where ever we end up in the 3 months we travel each year. Always meet interesting people in town laundromats. Get lots of local information.
Drive with care, everywhere.

[Bevard]

We have Splendid washer and dryer separate units and love it!

[Edgardewey]

2018 3721RL...we have separate front load splendid w/d in the hall closet going into the bedroom and adjacent to the bathroom.

[mipacr]

I'd rather use a laundromat. The space in the closet is more usable in the rv.

Always meet interesting people in town laundromats. Get lots of local information.
Drive with care, everywhere.

"Interesting people" ... like the lady that was using a machine next to a friend, actually multiple machines. Laundry had an oder. When she took the 1st load out of the dryer and ran to the restroom to change it was easily seen why. All the brown from above her waist to down her legs. Evidently she was sick and would not use her machine at home for the �� wash. They installed a w and d after that episode .

None. Wife will not give up the closet.

Just installed a Splendide 7100XC in my 384BR. Not sure how I ever got by without it.
I'm not experiencing the many horror stories about wet clothes and wrinkles now that I've learned how to use it.

Didn't go with a stack unit or the 2100XC because I didn't want to drill a vent hole in the side of my fifth wheel rv.

[Baldicon]

Not in our 3121, rather have the closet space.

[Last2Die]

Love our stackable. Already have plenty of closet space

We just sold our old DRV and bought a new one. Took the (15years old) stacked Kenmore units out of the old Mobile Suites and installed in our Monty. Hated loosing the closet but making adjustments. Sure is nice having a washer and dryer handy when you need something washed. We used this rig for three years without the machines. Used the laundromats at campgrounds and in town. We really like Corps of Engineers parks and we don’t normally see them there. We also like knowing what has been in our washer/dryer.....

Have stackable splendide Love having the convenience of being able to wash and dry anytime and not having to spend half a day at the laundry mat.

Stackable W/D by Ariston.

I'd rather use the campground facilities. No matter how many loads, 1 1/2 hours I'm done. It's my piece and quiet time to myself �� our 3820FK is plumbed for it, but I'd rather have storage. We camp with our 13 yo daughter for about a month and a half during the school break, and cover between 3,000-5,000 miles. I enjoy my breaks��

Stacked W/D. Just bought our trailer and haven’t used it yet. We’ll be full-timing and thought they would be nice. Vented dryer. Heard too much negative about non-vented.

[Bubba]

No, but want one.

[Montajmahal]

2018.5 3791RD. Storage is not an issue and we full time. 1st thing I did before I took delivery was to have the stackable Splendides installed. Love them.

[GOV]

Update. Wife uses them every day. She is glad she gave up the storage for them.

Best move for a happy wife unless your trips are a week or less. We go for months at a time often. The combos are mostly for a single person that has a lot of time to do nothing.

[Dino]

Spendide stackable WITH vent to outside. Love it. Venting to outside is only way to go imo cause it works like a real dryer with real heat, not throw the clothes around for hours in air.

[Russ&Reen]

Side by side Lady Kenmores. Built in 1974 and still going strong.

[Pattifab]

Have the splendide combo and wouldn't be without it. Full timers for 9 yrs, my husband worked in construction, and I easily kept up with the laundry and it does a great job. Wouldn't be without it, and still have some storage space with the combo.

[Deanna]

Does anyone have the Bosch 300 series stackable washer/dryer or the combo?

[BUBBA-NONNIE]

How many towels can you wash and how long to dry.

[432bartman]

We have a washer and dryer and love it. Get all the laundry done before coming home and one less thing to do.

[Rick n Kelly]

We are full time with my work. Yes sir!

[RMcNeal]

We have the hookups and have been considering getting the stackable units, probably Splendide, since they seem to be well liked. Just waiting until we are spending more time in the rig to warrant the extra weight.

[Loneoak]

Nothing. I prefer the storage space. I also hear they are expensive, problematic, and can only do small loads.

They are expensive but no more rolls of quarters to put in machines heaven knows who put what in there

They take up space but we long time for 3-4 months at a time and the 3761FL has more than we can use

Few problems with the Splendide units

Stackable units are not tiny like combo loads

Convenient- not wasting hours at a laundry when other things to do. Run to a laundry from your S&B?

Everyone chooses what is best for them but we will never be without again after years of having them.
