RV Washers

What size washer dryer fits in a camper?

Most RV washer dryer combos require a 24-inch wide cabinet opening with at least 33 inches of height clearance and a 24-26 inch depth. Before ordering, measure your existing alcove or closet and confirm venting requirements (vented units need an exterior wall exit, ventless condensing units do not). Always check your RV's manufacturer specs for the designated washer dryer bay dimensions and the available 120V circuit amperage.

Do RV washers need a special water hookup?

RV washer dryer combos connect to your existing fresh water plumbing and drain into your gray water tank, the same way your shower and sink do. No separate hookup is required, but you will want to confirm your fresh tank capacity and gray tank capacity can handle a wash cycle (typically 10-15 gallons per load). If you are also upgrading plumbing or winterization gear, see our RV winterizing kits to protect the unit during cold storage.

Can I run an RV washer on 30 amp service?

Yes, most RV washer dryer combos draw between 12-15 amps on 120V, which works on a 30 amp shore connection as long as you stagger high-draw appliances (do not run the AC, microwave, and washer simultaneously). For 50 amp rigs there is more headroom. If you are stepping down between service sizes at the campground, the right adapter matters; browse RV plug adapters to match your pedestal.

What accessories do I need for an RV washer dryer install?

A standard install needs a stainless steel water supply hose, a drain hose with the correct outlet diameter, a 120V power cord (often included), and a venting kit if your unit is vented rather than condensing. Mounting brackets or a stacking kit are required if you are installing a separate washer and dryer pair. Confirm your model number against the manufacturer's install manual before ordering accessories.

How much weight does an RV washer add to my rig?

A typical RV washer dryer combo weighs 75-100 pounds dry and can hold an additional 15-25 pounds of water and laundry during a cycle. Factor this into your cargo carrying capacity, especially in a travel trailer or smaller Class C. Place the unit over an axle or near the structural floor frame whenever possible to keep the weight distribution balanced.
