Some RV's come with a washer/dryer combo. I think it's actually one machine that switches from wash to dry. We have space that is set up for such a gizmo, but our RV didn't come with one and we have decided that we'd rather use the space for storage.
So, how do we get our bright yellow KOA shirts and other questionable fashion choices clean? The laundromat.
As KOA workers we get laundry quarters. Chris thinks it's funny that I'd never heard of this sort of thing before, but we have a ziploc bag of quarters in the office that are painted red. Others have different colors and when the machines are emptied the painted quarters are sorted and put into our baggies so we can do laundry for free. It's a nice perk.
In our other life, we probably did laundry (mostly Chris did laundry) almost every day. Now we do it about once a week. The trick with the KOA laundry room is timing it so you can get enough washers and dryers. This morning I hit the jackpot and got there before everyone else and got all four washers. Woohooo. All done in about 90 mins.
The other option is to go to a big laundromat and we do that sometimes too. Sure, it's not free like the KOA but they have giant washers and dryers.
I'd like to report that laundromats have come a long way since I was a kid. I remember laundromats as being dirty and a place where you got in and out as fast as possible We went there only if the machines at home were broken or we were watching things like sleeping bags or rugs. Now, laundromats are staffed all the time, have wifi and snacks and are spotless.
So, that's the dirt on getting clean. Harhar.
