Missing my washer & dryer

If there has ever been a time when I would like to be back in my stix & brix, it would have been this morning. I miss my washer & dryer, and getting one for the RV wouldn't be the same. I went out to a laundromat, but forgot my purse. I didn't have to drive far but just didn't feel like coming back home for it. I had two singles in the console, along with a whole bunch of change that I throw into a little box. In all, the washers used 38 quarters, and I think I had 12 quarters left for the dryers. Of course half of my laundry didn't get dry and I didn't have any money left so I just had to bring it home. It's too warm to turn up the heat and too cool for things to dry, so I have sweaters & jeans spread out over the bed and towels hung everywhere. It was a nice enough place, as laundromats go, but kind of expensive. The giant load washer took 22 quarters, and I'm sure I would have been better off to go to a couple of smaller ones. I went out because the woman at the CG office recommended it over the laundry room here at the park. She said it takes forever to dry the clothes, but at least I could have kept coming back for more $.

Iam going to try the shower once more but have little hope. I turned on the kitchen tap and the water comes out hot, then cool, then cold, and so on. Frustrating! So I am going to go over to my daughter's house, finish drying the wettest of the laundry, and take a shower!

  1. Marty,

    I don't know how much they cost, but I've heard of some small euro washer/dryer combos that do the wash load then automatically switch over to drying mode. I guess if you had to find room in the trailer, that could be pretty efficient. Probably too darn expensive!

  2. Gypsy,
    Look on the back off the water heater, you should have a water line going in, a water line coming out, and a water line that connects the in and out line. Each line should have a valve on it (total of 3 valves). A valve that is crossways of the line is shut. If it is inline with the line it is open. You want the line going in open, the line coming out open and the line that connects the in and out closed. Hope this helps.

    Stay Safe
