You'll have to let everyone know how you like it long term.

Which ones do you get? Brand/model?

Wow, that's cool! I'd like to know how long you camp for, that you need a washer/dryer, or I guess how many kids in tow?

Here is the washer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TC3659T...p_mob_ap_share
Here is the Dryer
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08N4GQYXQ...p_mob_ap_share

Here is the lint trap I Bought.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000DZFTC6...p_mob_ap_share

I bought these Clamps with thumb screws
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074CMZNFS...p_mob_ap_share


I bought the washer last year and the dryer just a few months ago, they both work great so far, I used the washer at home for a month because my washer at the house died and worked great, now I'm in Maine and been here for 2 weeks so far all is good.
The dryer works great

The only minor problem with the washer is the fill hose is cheap but I'm working on a fix that and it will be a pernanent fix.
I also had to change the aerator on the Faucet it was too short for the hose to attach it too, I bought a Portable dishwasher aerator that works great. Attachment 261382Attachment 261383Attachment 261384Attachment 261385Attachment 261386

So this washer isn't automatic. You have to keep swapping washer and spinner compartments as needed for rinsing. I think I would rather find a laundry mat for an hour or 2, to make it easier and save the space in the camper. Different strokes for different folks.

Nice concept for those who'd like to tackle this.

Thanks

Using a Portable washer & Portable Dryer in my HW296

We have a Kuppet washer & spinner too. Love mine. We spend 3 months down in Mesa, AZ for the winter months. I store my in the shower, so when I use it I just drop the shower head into the washer to fill it with water, I drain it in the shower as well. Mine doesn't have a built in lint grabber so I bought a flower looking device from the Wish app to do the trick. I also add a mesh bag to the drain hose to catch any lint the flower device missed. I dry the clothes on a rack outside. I bought a stand up dryer to dry clothes when we camp up North of Saskatchewan for a week when we are fishing. It is usually cold & raining a lot when we go there. That helps to keep all 5 adults & 3 dogs dryer & less mess while we are there. Interested in how that dryer works. Our washer spinner is more than 2 years old and still no problems. I bought it from Amazon when we were down in AZ, it was one day shipping for us to our RV spot.
