17' Series Washing Machines

When we were looking at new vans a washing machine was not on our "to have" list. However, now that we have one in our Retreat, we use it all the time when we are in caravan parks. It is a Camec 2.5kg top loader. We use it every 2-3 days to do the light stuff. Takes about 25 mins to do a load.
We also have the 2.5kg Camec.
Wasn't sure if it was really necessary but added it just encase.
We've used it a few times and it has been very handy not needing to queue up and find coins.
Not huge, but we manage to keep enough clothes clean with it.

We opted for a full size fitted after delivery. With 3 kids it gets used regularly.
We have a Lemair 3kg job and it's great, won't do sheets but everything else is okay, we use it at least every 2nd day , they do use a heap of water but have found it invaluable.
We have the Sphere 3kg. Not permanently mounted as we had it in our last van. Has paid for itself a few times over with four squids. Only thing I don't like is the beep when it's done!
Hey I don't even know how it works ......
I put my dirty clothes in it when showering then bang they are washed and in my draws and cupboard all folded nicely just like magic
Gee that is a flash machine @mfexpanda , mine the clothes only get to the end of the bed.......
Hi @Scoobz
We have a 2012 17.56-2, family of 4. We have purchased the Companion 2KG washing machine. We take it with us on some, not all trips, based on where we are going.
Does a really good wash, does not weigh much either. We even us it when off-grid via an inverter. My wife does like it too!
From memory, picked it up at BCF on special for around $95. I know they are around $129 to $149.
Cheers,
Rohan

dont ya just love it when they correct you..............(in my case, usually followed by a slap to the head..........)
Gee that is a flash machine @mfexpanda , mine the clothes only get to the end of the bed.......
we have one of those Magic ones at home, put it in the basket
next time I'm looking for it, its washed and folded and in my chest of draws (only sat on the bed the once - I didnt see them when I went to bed, got a bollocking in the morning - but they never appeared on the bed ever again
Now there's a mod for you to do .........................
its the same reason why I dont have a TV - got Lappy & DVD player for Daughter to watch DVDs
not too interested in TV when I'm away
Please do not pass that on to my wifeGee that is a flash machine @mfexpanda , mine the clothes only get to the end of the bed.......
