RedRaider89 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Hello Everyone, We are going on a RV Trip for a month in June (First one this long) and will be staying at state parks for the first 15 days with no laundry facilities. Even though laundry mats are realtively close I am not thrilled about driving into town and doing laundry. Any recommendations for a small portable washing machine? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWharton Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Why don't you take 16 days worth of clothes??? The small portables aren't worth the money IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noteven Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 When travelling many roads on the continent provide a good agitation/warsh cycle in the 5 gal bucket with lid. Rinse cycle after lunch. Hang to dry. Use plunger when parked. I have a fancy plunger one. Hand warsher. I bought a handle for it that has other uses. "Are we there yet?" asked no motorcycle rider, ever.

RedRaider89 Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Thanks for the replies. I ordered an Avalon Bay Ecospin from Amazon. Looks like it will do the job for us. About $70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFDR3116 Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 Gosh, I only do laundry every 2 weeks, so going 16 days would be no big deal. Bucket & plunger is the easiest method. Not worth lugging other things along and having to store them. Pat DeJong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk W Posted May 5, 2018 Report Share Posted May 5, 2018 I was about to post a link to Over Stock dot com as they show several compact washers that are electric. We have always used laundrymats along our route as I just don't see Pam or me doing much laundry by hand, other than an occasional item. We travel with enough clothing for two weeks or more and only need a laundry a couple of times a month. It would be interesting if you could return once you have used that product for a month or longer and let us know what you think then. Good travelin !...............KirkFull-time 11+ years......
