Beth Allen October 11, 2019 Thanks for the input.

Patte M October 11, 2019 We have a Splendid combo.  I use for small loads, like doing whites and delicates.  It works great but I can see if you wanted to do larger loads it could be time-consuming. I usually take larger loads, (sheets, jeans and such) to a laundromat. 

Bill Joyce (and wife Diane Melde) October 11, 2019 Many with dishwashers add a water softener unit to keep the jets clean.  These are external units that look like huge water filters and run $200 to $300.

We have the water softener, since Arizona and other places have hard water, but we do not have an automatic dishwasher.
If you want everything done in one day, then a combination washer/dryer is not for you.  We have a vented Splendide washer/dryer combo and it takes 5 to 7 loads to handle a week of laundry, with each load taking 3 to 3-1/2 hours.  Not a problem for us, since we do 2 to 3 loads a day, but many don''t like that schedule.  Sheets are two loads, towels are two loads, the rest are clothes.  We very rarely use a laundromat.  less

Debbie Lockey October 11, 2019 No dishwasher here. But, I love my stackable washer and dryer! I wash everything except my king quilt and the quilted sofa covers. You do have to do smaller loads, but it's all good.

Tony & Robin October 11, 2019 If you have the space and can handle the weight, stackables are better. If you get the all-in-one unit, be sure it is the vented model (we have the Splendide).

If you get the all-in-one unit, be sure it is the vented model (we have the Splendide).

As for the dishwasher, we installed the Vesta a few months ago and love it. Before we got it, the dishes would pile up in the sink and on the counter. Now they go right in the dishwasher and when we have a full load, we run it. Then we put them away at our convenience.  less

You do have to do more frequent, smaller loads, and it can take 3-4 hours for a complete wash/dry cycle.  However, because you don't have to switch between washing and drying, you can set it and leave it alone.  You can also separate out washing and drying cycles if needed, so you don't HAVE to run the full 3-4 hour cycle if you don't want to dry the clothes. 

The one complaint is that if you dry your clothes completely and do not take them out right away, you end up with a huge ball of wrinkles.  You can get around that by drying them ALMOST completely, but taking them out just before they are completely dry.  Or....just make sure you take your clothes out as soon as it finishes drying.....  less

Renee & Kevin October 11, 2019 We didn’t have one, bought it, installed it and hated it. We now do our dishes by hand and are very happy to do so. Our just wouldn’t dissolve the soap effectively and it was just a big pain in the neck.

You haven't left home yet. How many dishes and clothes are you bringing? Unless you are staying somewhere with full hookups a lot, that's a lot of gray water. Add the shower and sinks the campgrounds are going to love you. Had a dishwasher never used it, paper plates and five minutes at the sink. laundries are never too far away or you can soak clothes in the sink and hang outside or in the shower. Good luck with all that weight.  less

Just don’t use when we boondock..... but would not be without them both. The dishwasher keeps my kitchen always clean and when traveling I just pop a load of clothes in when we stop for the night. We have been full timing for 12 years.
But it is a personal choice.
Life is good!!😊  less

Glamping girl October 11, 2019 I really did NOT like my all in one. Yes it takes a long time, but worse than that, I never felt my clothes were clean.

My thoughts on the washer and dryer are if it's a combination then if the dryer breaks the washer is also broke. If they are a stacked arrangement then when one breaks you don't have to replace both and you can wash and dry at the same time. I do much of the laundry at home. I will be washing load two while drying load one.

As far as the washer dryer issue goes, we went with just washer. We found that some campground/resort washers laundry rooms leave a lot to be desired. Their dryers are more apt to be "cleaner" so of needed we'll use just them.....if the cost isn't astronomical. We did go with a larger studio apartment sized washer. We opted for the LG 2.3.cu/ft front loader. The smaller Splendide's are only 1.7 cu/ft capacity.  We can usually do 3-5 days worth of laundry, including towels etc. all in one load. Even full king sheet sets will all fit. Since we bought the LG, they have come out with a combo ventless unit if you have the space and are leaning that way. But, since we don't know what kind of rig you have all the above are based on the space we have in ours.

Donna (The Innocent One) October 17, 2019 I have a stack for mine, I heard horror stories on combine one! They’re a spenda, small but works good.

Rick & Lil October 18, 2019 LG. Reliable & very, very quiet. We had stacked residential units in our condo for 8 years & now this studio sized in the RV for 4 years. Absolutely no issues what so ever.
