We throw the dirty laundry into the washer/dryer and let it run every few days...

I use my shower, too, but I put dirty clothes in a plastic laundry basket in the shower. It only takes two seconds to move it.

lucky for me the kiddo's bedroom slides out. I have a room. I put the laundry bag in there and it never has to be moved and doesn't get in the way.

IF you have a bunk you are not using you can store on that.

Good idea for just leaving it in the shower and moving when needed.

We use one of the collapsable mesh laundry hampers that folds flat and opens up into like a 12" square x 3' tall hamper. We have a couple and just keep it in the bedroom alongside the bed.

It's similar to below, but w/o "Woody/Buzz" on it

We use a light-weight, small plastic clothes basket in the shower. When we use the shower, we put the basket on the toilet.
I also use this basket to get stuff in and out of the trailer when we're packing or unpacking. This means I dump our dirt laundry on the laundry room floor when we get home, start a load and go back in the trailer for more stuff that needs to come in the house.

Our current fiver has a small bin designed for dirty clothes, we use that, when full we transfer to a plastic clothes basket or plastic tub under bed, when THAT is full move it to the basement and repeat.

Every year we take one 10 day trip to Maine in the fall, that requires a lot of clothes, never know if we need shorts and tees, or long johns and parkas or both! No way to do laundry, so we learned manage it.

In our previous 26' TT we put the dirty clothes in a garbage bag under the bed, and when full moved it to the bed of the pickup.

I don't recommend this but -
I had this friend in college. At the beginning of each term, he would dump his bags full of Mom-ironed and Mom-folded clothes in one corner of his dorm room. That was known as the "clean pile". The opposite corner became the "dirty pile". When the "clean pile" was gone, The "dirty pile" magically became the "clean pile" and he started over. He didn't have a lot of visitors.


Retired and visiting as much of this beautiful country as I can.

We have a folding mesh hamper. In past campers we have stored it in the shower or put it just outside the front door, convenient for leaning out & dropping things in. Our current camper has a nice corner spot, just right for the hamper.

I save quarters throughout the year and keep them in a drawer with those Purell 3-in-1 laundry pads. When it's time to wash, I just grab the hamper, the quarters and the pads and I'm in business

we have found that the collaspible folding mesh ones don't holdup well and plastic baskets take up too much room. So I bought the body pillow size pillow cases. They work really well for dirty laundry.
