Installing a caravan washing machine transforms your RV adventures by providing fresh, clean clothes without expensive laundromat visits. Whether you're planning weekend getaways or extended road trips, the right washing machine becomes an essential part of comfortable caravan living.
Why You Need a Caravan Washing Machine
After days on the road, dirty laundry quickly becomes a challenge. A quality washing machine saves both time and money while offering the convenience of washing on your schedule. No more hunting for laundromats or adjusting travel plans around washing needs, just fresh clothes whenever you need them.

Essential Buying Considerations
Space and Installation
Before purchasing, measure your available space carefully. Consider door clearance for front-loaders and ensure 50mm ventilation gaps around the unit. Our machines include comprehensive installation kits, but professional installation ensures optimal performance.
Power Requirements
Most models need standard 240V caravan power connections. For off-grid camping, pair your washing machine with solar panels - you'll need a minimum 1500W inverter capacity for heated wash models.
Water Management
Consider your tank capacity and grey water disposal. Top-loaders use cold water only, saving energy, while the front-loader's 31L consumption makes it our most water-efficient option.
Making the Right Choice
For Weekend Warriors
The 2.5kg top-loader or portable turbine suits occasional washing needs perfectly. Compact, efficient, and easy to store between trips.
For Extended Travellers
Choose the 3.2kg top-loader or 3kg front-loader for reliable family capacity. Both handle regular use while maintaining efficiency.
For Space-Conscious Setups
The wall-mount model maximises floor space in compact caravans while offering premium features like steam wash and quiet operation.
