We have a limited amount of space in the van wardrobe so need to wash clothes on longer trips. No problem (apart from cost) if staying on a site with a laundry room but what do you do when those facilities are not available?
As it happens, Jill's parents bought a Link Removed some years ago so we borrowed that for a trip earlier in the year. It worked but was hard work and a bit of a pain so we wanted an alternative.
Also as it happens I had a couple of 5 gallon bins in the garage left over from home brewing many years ago. With the addition of a large plunger bought from Poundstretcher for 99p, suitably modified to make a posser by the drilling of two holes in its rubber bit, we have a "washing machine" in which we can both wash and rinse. Works fine, especially (so Jill tells me) if you leave the clothes to soak in a bio liquid solution for a while before possing and rinsing.
