Dish and clothes washers - worth the space?

[DebbieMH]

I would not be without either ... use them both regularly. The stacked washer/dryer is a must. Wasn't really happy when we had SOB and it had the all in one unit. The stacked version will wash a set of king size bed sheets - top sheet, fitted sheet and pillow cases. I can't imagine needing to do larger loads than that. If you do ... then just do them more often. IMO

Yes to all three.

In a word...ABSOLUTELY!

If you are buying an Entegra, you will have both. Must haves IMHO.

Yes to all 3. We just took our first long trip starting at Entegra. The DW was going to have me take the dishwasher out for a pots and pans cabinet, until this trip. Nowabeachbum told Karen to try the DW for one trip before you remove it. She did and thanks to Gary, I don't have another project....she loves it!!
The stacked washer and dryer is as good as the set at home and sure beats the old Splendide combo unit. Those are three updates we really enjoy, plus the basement freezer and use all four daily.

That Karen, not only beautiful but smart!

Good Heavens !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have you ever fought for dirty washers and driers with 20 other RV owners who are also trying to wash their clothes for $1.50 a load????

Of course, they are used, and all the time. Would you get rid of these conveniences in your home? I'll bet not. Same logic

Many people who replied have the old all in one washer/dryer combo. We had one in our Monaco. Would rather have the storage than that! Our Anthem has a stacked washer and dryer. They actually hold a lot, and work really well. We use them often even though we are weekend campers most of the time. I always thought a dishwasher was a "stupid" luxury until we got this coach. It holds a surprising amount of dishes, plates, etc. and it does a wonderful job of cleaning them. Now I wouldn't want to be without it. Yes, we are spoiled now, but that is one of the reasons we bought an Entegra in the first place! Life is too short, get out and enjoy it as much as you can.

Yes to all three. Stacked washer and dryer takes more space than the multifunction models but are far superior in capacity and speed. Previous coach had stacked washer and dryer and it was mandatory. Dishwasher was something I had not thought much about. On Sedona AZ earlier this year, the guy next to us had a Allegro and was bragging about having a dishwasher. Not to be outdone, I told him my Endeavor had a multi-function dishwasher. He asked what else it did. I told him she was cooking breakfast right now.😋

So I was not too excited to find the CS had a dishwasher, but we have been well pleased with it and use it all the time. Great standard feature for Entegra, optional for SOB.

We have an Aspire so don't have a dishwasher. However, we are so happy that we have a stack washer and dryer. We use it all the time and sometimes several times a day. After working out, jogging or pickleball, I throw the sweaty clothes in the washer and do a small load. DW does not want all those wet clothes sitting in a hamper. The washer is large enough so we can wash the king size sheets set, pillow cases and a towel in one load. The dryer handles that same load with ease. Speaking of hampers, we only have a small basket that we store in the closet. We don't have to wait to do laundry.

If you don't get a washer and dryer, you will need the extra storage space for dirty laundry, dirty, wet towels, a ton of magazines, laundry baskets and buckets full of quarters for the laundromat.

Love the dishwasher! Use it almost every day when we are camping. Even when we're boondocking. Love the washer & dryer too. I've been know to stay at camp just to do 4/5 loads of laundry. I know weird, but it allows for some "alone" time! Would never have another Motorhome without either of these options. I also find that we repack less and less stuff in the in motorhome each spring and I've even got a few empty cabinets!

Paul, Excellent analogy

Gary, thank you for the kind words. She is a keeper for sure

FWIW I can see the clothes washer. IMHO for two people it takes more hassle to load the dishwasher than to wash the dishes. I'd rather have a cupboard.

John,

It is official now so you must change your signature line.
