Does anyone have a dish washer, washing machine or clothes dryer in their MH?

[CustomBuild]

I fitted all the above in my last two homes on wheels but the weight limits weren’t as critical as they appear to be in the EU/UK and I had more physical space to play with.

When deciding on our new MH at Caravan Salon last year one of our main focuses was on how I can make the various modifications that I have in mind. Basically if there wasn’t space for those appliances we crossed the vehicle off the list.

With the MH delivery date now getting closer I am starting to look for suitable appliances that I can work with.

If anyone has any recommendations for light and compact units I’d love to know the details.

No but we know a man who has #Urbanmotorhomer lol

We have no room at all & it takes seconds for Andy to wash up and there are plenty of launderettes.

Edit: just googled Fisher & Paykel as advised above and apparently you can find the dishwasher drawer in Europe…. It looks like I didn’t know what to search for last year . Going now to the MH if the drawer fits, I’ll get rid of bob (although it would be a petty because we named the washing machine Dylan…. Fischer Dylan will sound strange….)

Dylan Fisher, on the other hand?? Lol

Yes, spot on, great bit of kit. This is my third one and never had an issue with any of them

We had the two drawer version at home for 8yrs. Great kit until one piece broke; the ECU in one drawer. That triggered the second one in the other drawer to go as well and it was cheaper to replace the whole machine. It began, apparently, when the drain impeller got restricted by invisible somethings, whether broken glass or food. Fyi. hth.

mad really, because the motor is the simplest thing to replace.

Is 'motor' the same as ECU? I don't know but, no matter, the electrical box on right-hand side behind the stainless steel drawer front - that's what burned out. The physical mechanics of ours were under the drawer and at rear bottom of carcass.

Yes it's called a wife

You beat me to it.

I'd not buy a motorhome without a weighbridge certificate.

This issue has been going on for years, it worse on the mainland EU, as many drivers do not have C1 licences so are limited to 3.5t vehicles.
It is very difficult to get a vehicle over 6.5m and 2 beds and keep it under 3.5t loaded
(Actually it's almost impossible), yet there are tens (hundreds?) of thousands of motorhomes travelling around Europe plated at 3.5t but actually weighing substantially more.

Cost of EHU:
In the UK a camp site owner can not 'sell' electricity.
They can provide it, and charge at cost.

Therefore the cost in the UK is about 27p/KWH
Some campsites may have a fixed commercial tariff, which depending on when they fixed the price, may be higher or lower

Some sites include EHU.
Other sites include say 4 kw and then charge whatever used over that.
and other sites will simply charge for what you use.

That’s good to know and understand, however I wouldn’t mind betting that their calculations are extremely favourable to them lol

I know the weight of the vehicle including all of the accessories I've fitted. On any trip it'll get to a max of 3485kg on average. I've even weighed my socks as I want the payload for more important stuff like an Ooni gas pizza oven (12.8kg), Ninja BBQ (12kg), Cadac 2 cook (6kg) & air fryer(8kg), dishwasher(11kg).

I bet no one even knows the weight of the chairs they carry, mine's huge, an Outwell Grand Canyon and weighs 6.1kg. Wife's is 4kg.

Consider all that kit, it weighs less than 60kg. Add the 50L portable fridge (18.1kg and the Ecoflow Delta 2 (12.5kg) & battery (9.5kg) it's bang on 100kg.

My clothes weigh on average 15kg, wife's 10kg... add the dog, 32kg. I could go on & on but as you're all already asleep????

That’s commendably thorough

Many have individual meters on the EHU pillar
