Doing Laundry in our RV

Posted on by

If you’ve secretly always wanted to watch me do laundry…today’s your lucky day! Ha!

No, but seriously, here’s the latest “behind-the-scenes” video of our RV life.

This one is about one of my FAVORITE things about our newest motorhome….it has a washer/dryer!!!!

(well…sort of….) 

We are sooooooooooo glad we took the plunge and spent the money for this washer/dryer combo (model Splendide 2100XC)!

Total game changer!

We definitely don’t miss the laundromat for a SECOND!

Oh, and I don’t get paid to say that I love the washer/dryer, so I’m not bias or anything.

Buuuuuut…there are a few tricks you need to know if you want your clothes to turn out nicely in these types of machines, as you’ll see in the video…
