We have a 2011 Allegro Bus 43' and the washing machine stopped working. I would like to replace it with something other than a machine bought at an RV store like Camping World. I have found numerous makes like GE, Whirlpool, Samsung etc.. that have similar dimensions to the Splendid machine that we have now. Has anybody switched out their washing machine and do you have any suggestions?

I assume you have a Splendid combo? Have you considered fixing it? If you really want to spend the money are you going with a stacked pair? Be sure your looking at apartment sized 120VAC dryers.

OP says "the washing machine quit working" so, to me, that means he has stacked units.
I have stacked Ariston units. Have never used them, in fact I've never tested them in the three years I've had the rig. Due to the late DW's battle with liver cancer we were never able to get away much.
One thing already mentioned is to be sure you get a 120 volt unit. Mine is a 240 volt dryer so I can't use it unless on 50 amp shore power or run the generator.

The circuit board has gone bad. The part is a little bit over $300.00. I would like to just replace the washer. The stackable clothes dryer is working fine still.

We had to replace ours and just put in another Splendide since we liked how it worked, The failure had nothing to do with the machine. There was not a 1/16" to spare in getting it in and out. It is essentially a friction fit getting past the trim on the slideout.
