Splendide Washers & Dryers

RV washers and dryers are worth it if you have a large family or like to take extended camping trips. A washer and dryer allows you to avoid campsite facilities or traveling to a laundry site.

A washer and dryer requires extra space and resources, such as water and electricity. This is why they are best suited for larger RVs with extra room and larger holding tanks.

An RV washer-dryer combo unit washes and dries clothes with a single machine. The internal drum is responsible for both washing and drying, automatically switching between processes.

The weight of an RV washer and dryer varies by type. A portable unit typically weighs around 50 lbs. A combo-style is around 150 lbs, and a stackable is around 200 lbs plus for both.

The price of an RV washer and dryer varies greatly, from $100-$200 for a portable unit to $1,000-$2,000 for a combo or stackable unit.

This requires water lines, drain lines, vents, and power receptacles to be routed to a suitable location. Extensive plumbing and electrical experience is a must, a task best left to professionals.

A residential dryer requires 50-amp service. Power demands combined with space and weight are why many choose an RV washer and dryer over residential.

A vented RV dyer requires an external vent to free heat and moisture. A ventless RV dryer does not require an external vent. Vented dryers use less electricity and dry faster.

The three main types of washers and dryers for RVs are stackable, portable, and combo. Stackable have faster load times, combo units save space, and portable units are cost-effective.

RV washers and dryers operate on 110-volt electricity.
