We have been on the road full time for over 40 years. Now towing a Carriage Cameo. Have use the Splendid washer drier for close to two decades. We let the first one go when we sold our older tow vehicle.
The last time we got a new fiver, we opted for the cheaper washer at the time. It was an unvented model. Big mistake. Like throwing away our money. Clothes took forever to dry, everything wrinkled, etc. We went back to their standard model about eight years ago. Wife loved it.
Time for a new machine as I think we have got our milage out of this one. I see camping world now carries a newer model called the Splendide 2100XC Washer/Dryer. Some specs below from their on-line site. Any one have any experience with this unit/model? Don't want to make a mistake as in the non-vented unit. Any comments or advise would be welcome.

Ours works great. Big improvement over the 2000 vented we had before. Dries faster and less wrinkles, maybe due to bigger drum. We also use drier balls.

Actually the 2100 size is 33 1/2" H by 23 1/2" W by 23 3/8" D
and the 2100XC is 33 3/8" H by 23 7/16" W by 22 5/8" D Will go through a 3/4" narrower door way.
This from the Splendide site. And they also state that the XC fits in the same area as the older model.
