Best rv washer dryer combo recommendations?
I’m considering installing a washer/dryer in my tiny home on wheels. I narrowed it down to 3 options:
>Portable washers and dryers that hook up to a sink
>Ventless washer/dryer combo units
>RV-specific machines built for movement, vibration, and small spaces
Budget isn’t my main concern (I’ve been saving specifically for this upgrade) but I still don’t want to spend a bunch of money on something that ends up being unreliable.
The GE Spacemaker gets mentioned a lot. People seem happy with the washing. Drying is the main issue. Some say it takes forever and still leaves clothes damp. Long cycles are fine. Damp clothes in a tiny space are not.
The Splendide 2100XC is often called the go-to unit for full-time RV living. It’s built for the road, which I like. But it’s expensive. Some owners say it lasts for years. Others talk about maintenance issues and slow drying. I’ve looked at cheaper combo units and yeah the price is tempting but the build quality worries me. I don’t want something that fails when I’m far from help.
My biggest concerns are water use, power draw, drying, and space. I can’t use a machine that drains my fresh water tank. I do a few small loads a week, so it needs to be efficient. Running out of water on the road is not an option. Space is also tight so it has to be compact, easy to secure, and not take over my storage.
Any advice/suggestions from people who’ve already been through this?
