given our plan is to be on the road for some time, I'd like opinions and experiences of the oneConcept DB004 mini camping washing machine spin 4.8kg if I may?
Thanks in advance (y)

I dont know that model, but we have had two of these:
They were excellent machines and run perfectly happy when powered by an inverter -only uses about 350w with both going at the same time if I remember correctly.
Big enough for a double duvet cover and sheets.
Spin dryer is very effective.
Very light and easy to lift in and out of the garage.
Saves a fortune in laundrette costs.
Great kit for long trips/full timing.

Crumbs ... you must have really big mhs you two... I have to use launderettes. :(
I was hoping having this would cut down on the constant need to do launderettes so, if there's garage space, it seems a fabulous idea

Yeah a good long-term money saver (y)
mine was 15 quid in a charity shop.
well my ex wife bought it . but later gave it to me to use. she got posh and bought a proper house automatic . it works a treat on solar with the inverter etc . the spinner is really good .
park up somewhere out the way ,ideally with water close by . start at 9 in morning finished by half ten . dried just after lunch . well in spain in winter. put sheets back on bed and off we go.
mind does take several loads as the tub is only small. one sheet two pillow cases is it . one pair jeans couple t shirts . . but it works .
i do cheat i use a builders tub and posser for rinsing . but spin and on the line . saves a bit of time .

Not long enough, but a little common sense helps..........

We also have the above machine, which I have plumbed in to the garage area of MH. Works a treat and has paid for itself many times over.

@Dazzles we don't have a lot of storage space in our MH , yet we still make room for our twin tub machine as it works well as long as you are near a water supply.

I have the same twin tub as @makems and agree that it is brilliant. I run it off a 500w inverter. It works well so long as you don't overload it.

We have a 6m PVC, so not a huge van but it fits very nicely under the fixed bed at the back and still leaves loads of room for storing all the other stuff that we take with us. We store the detergent and one of those folding hanging multipeg airer things in it.

Is it @jezport Anthea???
Yes its me.
I still have machines in stock, and the benefit of buying from me is that I keep all spares for my machines so can offer support in the rare chance you have a problem.

I will be at the Norfolk show next if anyone wants a look at them, but due to us having limited space we generally sell out before the end of the show.

Been living in caravans/motorhomes for 9 years without a washing machine, launderettes everywhere in Europe that we have been €3.50 to €5.50, every couple of weeks( one of does some hand washing:)) never felt the need to hump a washing machine around.

Poor old bloke at Cabanas trundling water and grey water up and down from one of those little twin tub things every Monday, don't see the point, washing machine on site €5, hardly going to break the bank is it:)

  • No dirt from someone else who has put soiled pet bedding in before you
  • Saves money
  • Faster
  • No walk to launderette
  • No problem in the middle of nowhere where there is no launderette
  • You can wash a small load if you need to
