Sold the house and bought a destination style trailer. I know to stay away from the combo units, but what brand is everyone using successfully?

Planning on a fifth wheel and laundry facilities beyond a bucket and washboard would be pretty handy to keep us (with kids) out longer.

Some real life experience. My wife and I have been on the road full time for almost 5 years. We have had an Equator combo from the start. First in a travel trailer and now in a 5th since 2022. Things to consider. Unless you have space for residential models be prepared to lower your expectations. We only have a queen size bed and thick bedding is a no go in RV washers.  Next make sure to get a vented dryer and not an evaporator only.  Electric RV dryers are on a dedicated 15amp 115 volt outlet so it’s a slower dry regardless. When weather permits we wash and hang dry then just fluff in the dryer.

That’s all I can say for now. If you have any specific questions hit me up.

We have Camper on a permanent lot for weekend use.

The campground does not want folks using washers, as the septic tanks aren't sized for it.

Splendid is one of the premier brands.

I have the largest combo unit on the market available from contoure and it does well. Just don't care for the 5 hour was and dry time and you only get 3 changes of clothes at a time maybe 4 changes if it's light clothing. I think mine was 2.7ft³
