Portable washing machine


Has anyone had experiences with the collapsible washing machines to do small loads whilst on the road

I like the Les Hiddins model.

The 20 litre drum roped on the back of the landrover.

X2 We fitted a washing machine to our first van and found it used too much water and was a wast of valuable space. A 20 liter bucket with a lock on lid is a lot more more practical in our opinion. Most towns also have a launderette.

G'day Brian,

I just use a large plastic basin with cold water and wool wash and 2 hands. A little swishing around and rubbing etc with hands and squeeze water out by hand has worked for me for years traveling this great land. No need to rinse with wool wash so saves water. Big stuff gets done in public machines, wiping out bowl with undiluted Metho on disposable cloth and 1/2 cup white vinegar in final rinse. I have been doing that since that Covid thing hit our shores. Oh! That large plastic basin gets used as the washing basket when using public machines. That's it's 2 uses :) I'd use it to harvest water from the awning as well but that would be 3 uses :)



Keep Safe on the roads and out there.

Love it Dougwe.

Efficient use of assets......
My old green plastic tub gets a decent workout too with more than one application!!!

When I saw the Les Hiddins show with the 20 litre locking plastic drum roped to the back of the battered old Landrover, I feel in love with idea.
Is a good one for climate change activists.
Maybe we should all use the system when going for a drive.
Just agitate the clothes on a short trip, then hang them out upon return!!!!!

No power required......
