The ultimate question is "Will you be happy?".

Trying to choose a solution on one dimension only could easily lead to buyer's remorse. Just because the unit fits doesn't mean it will actually wash clothes properly to your satisfaction.

Why not just use the sink that you are willing to sacrifice to soak your unmentionable stuff in water with a little detergent overnight? Then quickly wring out an put into a bucket or container that fits into the vanity underneath?

You could always put them in the outside storage behind the door and fill it with soapy water. Then drive fast over a rough road. Your actual mileage may vary.

lol ken....just how much laundry do you think I need to do????


Are you telling me that my wife is atypical? Or are you?

I just measured the height on our overhead bunk area and it comes out too short, the View might be a little less yet. So that's no good. Do you need the passenger seat in the cab? Most likely you could find a unit that would fit in that area in any View model.

On the 23J if the bathroom sink is too small for any of the units we've pointed you to then the only other interior option would appear to be taking out one of the seats in the dinette.

In the rear bunk 24P you should be able to put one where the lower bunk is and still use the upper. Or you could take out the lounge chair.

In the 24H you could take out part of the dinette or sofa.

In the new, full wall slide (!), 24A you would probably have to take out the "Euro chair".

The only other option I can see off hand is to mount the unit outside on a platform attached to the trailer hitch. You can buy these for carrying cargo and you should be able to find one with an enclosed box for your laundry unit, or have one built for you. Or did you plan to tow something?

Eggcellent Rodger!

I think I'm going to settle for that or just wash by hand. I don't want to rip/re-build anything, nor haul my laundry outside at all....except to hang non-unmentionables outside.

Thanks anyway ya'all. I just have an active imagination I guess!

I loved Rodger's little egg. Here's a couple more small options:

Be sure to read the reviews...

And under the heading "now I've seen it all" - check this out. It's a dryer and you can also use it to heat the RV!! I haven't quite figured out how it works... must google...

(on edit: here's a cheaper site for that dryer: http://www.dormbuys.com/shop/product/1240

I kind of wonder how well the tank capacities would have supported a W/D unless you stayed with full hookups. And needing both water & sewer would have limited your choices of CG's... more costly in the long term, I'd think.

Well kewl mumkin! That dryer is very interesting indeed.

But I think I'm getting ahead of myself on this.

It's all about "bookmarks" so later when you realize what you need, you can find the link!!

(you don't even want to see how long my bookmark list is!!)
