How often do you change your bedding (in the motorhome)

SWMBO insists on changing all bedclothes weekly, more often if its hot and sweaty. We only carry two sets but fortunately can often wash and dry in a day. If left to me it would probably be closer to monthly.

Bloody strange question
 
I think it's a leap year next year -- could be time to change :-)
 
Once a month, but, that’s only 4 days use. We aim to go away twice a month. If away for week, bedding gets done at end of week, max 10 days. I’m sure hubby would let it go green!?
 
I assume most of those who was weekly or more use sites with facilities?

We don't use sites as we wild camp or use aires so use public laundrettes and the first time we ever used one the ruddy drier wouldn't work so we ended up with washing lines strung around inside our camper, from every upper locker/handle etc ... it resembled something from the first Mission Impossible film where Tom Cruise was hanging from the ceiling! :giggle:

If we're away for a long trip it's roughly fortnightly however we take extra bedding so we don't have to use a laundrette unless we're really, really desperate! :D

Not on sites also use launderette as in winter we are away for 3-4 months so can’t have that much linen with us !
 
Anything from 5 to 10 days, dependent upon circumstances. On our longer trips we'll look for a site with laundry facilities as it's also nice to have a proper cleanup and shower every now and again. We then stay a few days, especially if it's somewhere nice. Otherwise we carry two spare sets of bedding linen so could actually go for some time without needing to wash.

A bit leery about using an outdoors supermarket-based laundry though. On one occasion in France we saw a guy putting in a few sets of extremely dirty oily overalls and couldn't help feeling that the next user would find their wash even dirtier coming out than going in.

If the hubby forgets to wear his Tenna pads I sometimes have to change the sheets once a night.

... not bedding but we do try to take enough pairs of knickers away to last us for the whole time we intend to be away, for our last trip we took 65 pairs each as we were away for 2 months. :giggle:

Did you just throw them away after use? Or wash them when you got home?

No they are washed when we get home along with the rest of the washing mountain! :D

Ah, but you don't have a laundry shoot/bag like wot we had in our Globecar accessed under the end of the bed base with the washing dropping straight into a very large bag under the bed where there was an otherwise difficult to access space. I've not got one in our new MH but we have some of the vacuum travel bags (the type that you squish the air out of to put in your suitcase rather than the larger ones where you us a vacuum cleaner) and then pop them in the garage when full, if I can fit a laundry shoot though I might do so ... we'll see.

Me too, we have the Mercedes Hymer B680, which a rear transfer bed, very awkward to change at the best of times
 
65 sets of shreddies, no. We take 14 each and when we run low we wash them. Handwash if no laundry facilities available ditto socks if not weather for sandals.
 
I bet Minxy girl sells them on ebay?

Wash our undies & socks by hand every day. Think it is more important to wash PJs & possibly pillow cases every few days than to wash bedding, unless you sleep in the nude.
 
We also have the suitcase size vacuum bags, we use either the air bed inflater to extract the air or our Kayak air pump works well;)
I did ask my dearly beloved if she would like her vacuum cleaner then she could hoover the van as well, that cost me two days on the sofa:(
