RV Washers & Dryers

What is an RV washer dryer combo and how does it differ from a residential unit?

An RV washer dryer combo handles washing and drying in a single drum, sized to fit the limited cabinetry and venting options inside a camper. Compared to residential pairs, these units run on 110V power, draw less water per cycle, and come in vented or ventless configurations to suit different rig layouts. Load capacity typically runs 11 to 15 lbs, which covers a weekend's worth of clothes for two people without overloading your gray tank.

How do I know if a washer and dryer will fit my RV?

Measure the cabinet opening height, width, and depth before ordering, then confirm the door swing clearance and venting path. Most RV washer dryer units in this collection are built to standard 24-inch or 27-inch cabinet cutouts used by major coach manufacturers. Also check your incoming water line, drain hookup, and whether your rig is pre-plumbed; many fifth wheels and Class A motorhomes ship washer-ready, while smaller campers may need additional plumbing work.

Vented or ventless: which RV washer dryer should I choose?

Vented units dry faster and handle larger loads but require an exterior wall vent, which works well in coaches already prepped for one. Ventless (condenser) models use a water-cooled condensing system, so they install in rigs without an exterior vent path, though cycle times run longer. If your RV is already set up for laundry, a vented combo is usually the more efficient choice. While you're updating laundry, it's worth reviewing related coach systems like RV back up cameras and Ventline vent accessories to keep ventilation balanced.

What accessories do I need for installation?

A typical install needs a stacking kit (for separate washer and dryer pairs), braided stainless water supply lines, a drain hose, and a vent kit if you're running a vented dryer. Confirm your shore power is 110V/15A or higher and that your water heater can keep up with hot-fill cycles; pair this with a properly sized 10 gallon RV water heater if your current tank runs short during back-to-back loads.

How much water and power does an RV washer use per cycle?

Most RV washer dryer combos use 10 to 15 gallons per full wash-and-dry cycle and draw 9 to 14 amps on 110V power. That's well within a standard 30-amp shore connection, though you'll want to avoid running the air conditioner and electric dryer cycle at the same time on a 30-amp service. For boondocking, plan your laundry around full fresh and gray tank capacity rather than running cycles back to back.
