Caravan Washing Machines - The Complete Guide

While caravanning, a heap of dirty clothes is a nightmare. To deal with the nightmare, you keep searching for gold coins and waiting in the queue for washing in the laundromat at the campsite. If not done washing at the campsite, you end up washing mountains of clothes once you get home.
A portable caravan washing machine is a convenient option that would save you from washing and packing efforts. You can wash the dirty pile anytime, anywhere you want to.

Complete Caravan Washing Machine Guide

Space Constraints and Storage Options

Start with making some space for your washing machine in the caravan. Measure precisely, and remember a top-loading machine will require some free space above it. At the same time, a front loader could be mounted under a bench or table, having enough space in the front. In case of space issues, store the machine in the caravan and place it outside the caravan once reached.

Installing Washing Machine

Now the question arises how to install a washing machine? The procedure is quite simple. But before installing, make sure you have access to oodles of water and power at the campsite. You can set up the washer with a few simple steps.
Step 1: Make sure the machine is leveled.
Step 2: Hook the washing machine to the water source to the caravan's faucet or the sink using the hose.
Step 3: Plug the washing machine into the electrical outlet.

How to Use Portable Washing Machines?

Once installed, here is how to use a portable washing machine.
Step 1: Use the sink for filling and draining the washer. Read the manual as directions for filling the washer vary from machine to machine.
Step 2: Once done with the washing, drain the dirty water. Automatic washers do it on their own but ensure the draining nozzle is placed in the sink. If it falls, the water will spill all over the floor.
Step 3: After draining, rinse the clothes if your machine has the rinse cycle; if not, you can start drying your clothes. Make sure to drain the water once rinsed.
Step 4: Once clothes are rinsed, start drying clothes in the dryer if the washer has one. If not, you can hang clothes on the clothesline.
Step 5: Before traveling, replace the washer basket to stop the tub from moving around.

Loading capacity

Depending on how much space you have for the washer, the number of people on the trip, the duration of your trip, and the expected frequency of your washing cycles, you can decide the load capacity of your washing machine. You can choose anything from a machine with a modest 2.5kg weight to a weighty washer that could handle 4kg of washing loads

Avoid Common Mistakes

Make sure to read and follow the instruction manual carefully.
Dry your hands before plugging the machine.
Do not wash bulky clothes like coats.
Do not overfill the machine.
Check if the nozzles are screwed tightly.

Handy Tips

Use wool wash while washing to avoid rinsing further.
Wash whites first to prevent the transfer of colors.
Store your dirty clothes in the washing machine itself for avoiding mess.
Use a laundromat for washing sheets.

Conclusion

If the space for installing the washing machine at the campsite concerns you, install an Xtend Outdoors Caravan Awning. You can easily place your washer as the awning automatically expands the living space outside your caravan. Wherever you are camping in Australia, our team could be at your service for installing the awning instantly.

Traditional Caravanning Holiday

With the emerging technology, the whole scenario of caravanning has been revolutionized. Caravanning is not only limited to spending some time and traveling in a caravan these days. It is more about having fun and hassle-free camping trips out in the bush. Wondering what the traditional caravanning holidays looked like?

What are Traditional Caravanning Holidays?

By default, caravanning is synced with having certain variations in creature comforts. But at the same time is a great way of de-stressing from the hustle-bustle of everyday lives and having a chilled-out time with your friends and family.
But many activities like hitching & placing your caravan to the right spot, leveling the caravan at the right position, reversing, pitching a tent at the campsite for some shade require much effort as everything is done manually. And if the campsite is compact and not spacious enough, then it might take away all the relaxation and comfort you imagined at camping.
This isn't the scene now. You must be aware of how with the help of technology, caravans have emerged. Just like that, traditional caravanning is evolved into the next generation caravanning with a helping hand of technology.

What is Next Generation Caravanning?

Next-generation caravanning does not mean your caravan will magically open up and position on its own within a second. But when equipped with modern technology, it upgrades your overall camping experience. It saves your time struggling with the arrangements, and instead, enjoy having fun while you're away.
Caravans installed with modern technology assortments have become the vogue and are believed to make the trip hassle-free. Let's look at what those modern assortments are.

Motor Movers

We know maneuvering your caravan from one place to another is stressful, but you will be surprised how these kits can convert maneuvering into a fun activity. Fit this motor mover for your caravan. The kit comes with remote control and enables positioning your caravan to the right position by pressing only a few buttons.

Solar Panels

Ensure keeping your caravan batteries charged, as the discharged batteries could leave you stranded. While camping, it isn't easy to find the external power supply source, but it is possible to take the solution along with you in the form of caravan solar panels. These would provide free electricity to the caravan and keep the batteries charged all time, even if you are camping during the winters!

Inflatable Awnings & Annexes

Wondering if it is possible to increase the living space at the campsite? Yes, it is. Awnings and Annexes are a great and cost-effective way of doing so. But traditionally, it took time to assemble the parts, adjusting the poles of awnings and annexes. Now, with Inflatable Awnings and Annexes, it could happen in the blink of an eye with an air pump. Choose the one that suits your caravan setup from the wide variety available at Xtend Outdoors Inflatable Awnings and Inflatable Annexes.
They are easy to assemble, lighter, sturdier, portable, and made from durable materials. You must have never imagined that, right?

Air Conditioning

After traveling in the harsh Australian sun, the temperature inside the caravan often becomes too hot to handle, leaving you all difficult to survive inside the caravan. You cannot control the weather, but you can control the temperature of the caravan with modern air conditioning units. These units are compact, lightweight and can change the entire atmosphere of the caravan with a click.

Conclusion

Aussies prefer caravanning for satisfying the unquenchable thirst of relaxing in nature. Relaxation often disappears because of the unavailability of technology. Not only these larger advancements but there are smaller things like a portable shower unit, and safety equipment such as fire extinguishers have also developed for easing their caravanning experience.
