RV Washer Dryer
RV Washer Dryer appliances by Equator sure make living on the road easier! Nowadays, you can do your own laundry in your RV.
Today's modern RV has great RV Washer Dryer options.
You can purchase most larger RV's with either the plumbing/electric only, a stackable washer dryer or a WD combo unit - all in one.
The dryer part can be either vented to the outside or a non-vented type. Most people seem to agree that the vented to the outside is a better performing dryer and the most common installed in an RV.
All of the dryers are electric only (not propane) and require either "shore power" or the RV generator to be running to power them. The washer will not start without shore power or the generator, as well.
Depending on your RV lifestyle and how much you may like public Laundromats will usually determine if you insist on having at least the plumbing/electric installed in your RV.

Over the years, several
manufacturers have tried to enter (and stay) in the RV Washer Dryer
market.
They offer ventless or vented dryers in either
stackable or a combination - all in one unique box unit.
The most common appliance in this category is the WD combo. It provides great washing and dryer - at minimal closet space! The stackable WD provides the best performance, but double the space used - and we all know, space is a premium - especially for a fulltimer!
Ventless Dryer
The ventless dryer - either stackable WD or WD combo - is just what it
says. It does not have a method to vent the dryer outside the RV. They are designed internally to get rid of the excess moisture. Here's a direct link to an outstanding Manufacturer - EquatorAppliances - W/D Combo
Plumbing/Electric WD Utilities
This should be the absolute minimum you order on a "new" RV, even if you hate having one in your RV and actually want the storage space instead!
Someday, you will want to trade up or down and the value of your RV will be decreased considerable if it doesn't have at least the utilities for a RV Washer Dryer.
Stackable Washer Dryer
The true stackable WD setup is typically only in the very large RV - a Class A, 5th Wheel type. They are 2 separate units in one and will provide the best drying operation.
Just like a house unit, the dryer works the best as it's own separate device. The problem with a stackable WD is just space - period! I'm sure everyone would love to have it. But, not at the sacrifice of needed storage space.
Washer Dryer Combo
If your RV has some type of a washer/dryer - 99% of the time it will be a WD Combo unit. They are simply the best and take the least amount of space - and still have a washer and dryer! The all in one unit is much more complex to repair and just doesn't dry clothes without wrinkling them!
I know, if you stop it after the wash cycle and refold your clothes and plead with it to not wrinkle them - it might?
Let's face it, we aren't that good about doing our laundry that way! We'll fill it, turn the knobs, start it and expect perfectly wrinkle free dry clothes to appear in an hour. Wrong!!!
It's the best RV Washer Dryer it can be, especially given what it must do !
