There is a topic in the General RV-ing section that I responded to and read the replies with interest.

The question asked what people do with their dirty clothes. The answers all seem to be from RV-ers with larger rigs that what we Class B folks own. Some of those folks have washer and dryers and built in hampers!

So I am interested in where you place (not AIR) your dirty laundry in your B.

We usually use a drawstring mesh bag and on longer trips a collapsible hamper. We keep it on the drivers seat and then move it to the bed when we are driving.

I sometimes think it might be less bulky to just re-hang our shirts and pants and just keep the unmentionables in the bag.

We keep our dirty clothes in a couple of those re-usable cloth shopping bags. When they're full and we're out of clean undies, its time to camp at a commercial site with laundry facilities.

Laundry bag on the side of the bed in my class A. We try to bring a couple week's supply of socks and underwear and maybe a week's worth of shirts that we can wear two times (with a day or two airing out in between wears). DW sprays her stuff down with Fabreeze. We can go out for a month and only have to do laundry once while on the road.

We follow the suggestion of someone on this forum a couple of years ago. We keep the dirty clothes in a nylon laundry bag and stow it on the potty while traveling. When somebody needs to use the facilities, the bag goes out in the aisle, temporarily, then back to the loo. Full bag = trip to campground laundry room. It's the best solution we've come up with.

My used clothes are rolled up tightly into a sturdy plastic bag, which seems to help space-wise.

Then I shove it as hard as I can into an overhead cabinet and slam the door shut. So, when I open the door and it falls out, then it's time to head to a laundromat.

I'm not being facetious, this is true.

RubberMaid Tote with a lid. Stored in the bottom of the tall closet, since the stink is contained...

I fold the dirty clothes and put them in a closet in a separate pile from the clean clothes. Dirty "unmentionables" go into a plastic bag stored in a cabinet. I rarely use the Pleasure-Way for more than a 2 or 3-day trip, so dirty laundry isn't much of an issue.

We've had problems dealing with our dirty clothes last season. With 2 adults and 2 kids, it piles up quickly. This year I am going to use a mesh laundry bag and store it in the shower area when not in use. We'll see how that goes.

We have a class c but it is only 25' long. We have a sofa instead of a dinette. We temporarily store dirty clothes under sink in plastic grocery bags, then transfer to bigger bag and store under the sofa. We can get by about 10+ days in winter before laundry day. Longer in the warmer weather (less bulky clothes).

We have two small heavy duty laundry bags that everyone at one of the rallys received ,and keep the soiled clothes in them behind the drives seat. We stop once a week at a laundry mat while traveling. Bob.
