    If it’s in the bathtub probably will just seem like a bath or shower running. Doesn’t seem to shake or make much noise. However I don’t see how this would be against a contract in any way,it’s not like an actual washer dryer are being installed and messing with electrical wires or the walls or anything. Putting down a couple towels or fabric might help with the vibrations too.

    Great demo. I purchased a Costway washer/spinner unit in 2016 off Amazon for about $80 with free shipping. Same exact unit as yours. People complain about Chinese products, but I've been very pleased with this. And I find that it you want something small that works, buy it from China. They seem to understand small appliances, and the need for small things that work. Americans go the other way, washers, dryers, refrigerators, freezers, stoves all have to be huge. People in Europe, the far East and China prefer appliances that are small, but work and last a long time. I've had my unit and use it about once a week, and have had no problems at all. Have fun in your travels.

    I have the same machine for our camper. To save on water, we reuse the rinse water for a second load when we do multiple loads. I also love that I can put my kids fuzzy blankets in this. Although on the down side we can't put a comforter in it, but we are extremely glad we have it. Camping with 4 children under 9, we accumulate alot of laundry.

    Eric, I just use a pitcher to pour water in the hole during the spin cycle for "rinse and spin". It keeps me from having to transfer back to the washer side to rinse them. I pour for a minute or two while it's spinning and then stop pouring and let it spin without water for another minute or two.

    That is exactly what I thought too when he poured water into spin cycle. Why not just add more water, stop for a minute or two, restart spin cycle and it’s all in one step and probably doesn’t need as much water as the larger tub. I would wash the less dirty clothes first and save the water from the rinse cycle to use for next "dirtier" load. Going to buy this now to use in my van.

    I saw this video of yours probably a month ago. I LOVED your demonstration on this washer/spinner. I live in a tiny house! A shed I purchased and my son converted into a home for me. But I have been carrying my laundry next door to my daughters house for 4 years!! I am so sick of doing that (I’m 61 years old with a bad back). The night I saw your video, I binge watched so many videos on this washer and many more! But I could never find your video again. 😢 Tonight I bumped into a guys video, calling himself Camo Dave. He mentioned you (Nomadic Fanatic) for 2 seconds, about how big your RV is. I got so excited! Cause I thought you looked like the guy. So I searched your videos (you’ve done a couple of them, washing clothes). When I saw that Blue and White hand towel, I knew you were the one that explained this washer better than any of the others. I just wanted to say thank you and again.... WOW! The way I bumped into your video again, I couldn’t have found you this way by searching. Believe me! I’ve been searching. Anyway, that was too funny! Serendipitous! Lol. Thanks!!

    13:20 In summer open the windows then you can use rubber gloves make sure they don't have a hole or you'll burn/hurt your skin then use chlorine cleaner or whatever it's called in the US and soak paper towels in it and put them on everything that looks like mold or water residue (the yellowish stuff). Make sure it is well ventilated and don't stay in the van for that time. Unfortunately it might take up to 12 to 48 hours depending on the dirt buildup so make sure you do it during a good weather period. Worked in well for my silicone seals in my bath and it works on black mold in the bathtub. Not very environmentally friendly but maybe you can find another easy fix.

    Dilute the chlorine bleach by 50% and put it in a spray bottle for God's sake. Or better yet, much better yet, just use white vinegar. Full strength in a plastic spray bottle. Vinegar is 5% acetic acid so it is a natural agent that kills mold, mildew, fungus, Etc. You can also use it in place of Roundup to kill grass and weeds! It won't cause cancer and is much much cheaper.

    My Tiny Beach House, I have one and I would suggest getting one that doesn’t require you to rinse and spin it separately. it gets labor intensive for me because I’m in an apartment and don’t have any other way of filling it up without a bucket. So it’s a lot of filling, carrying and lifting water. I’d prefer one tub that washes, rinses and spins in one tub. Other than that I don’t really mind it but if you’re older your back might ache.

    @RevealtheReal - I agree. I lived in my 26' travel trailer for 2 years. I have a Haier that's all in one. I loved it. Since it doesn't have two compartments, it's smaller. I am in an old house now, which came with a wash machine. But I was thinking of using the little one again to save energy as well as dry time. I also have one of those (wooden) expandable dry racks. They work great as well.

    If you place a dehumidifier in a small enclosed space. Say like a closet or a small bathroom or shower with hanging racks. It will dry your clothes and very cheaply. We have been doing that for years and we have a dryer. It just saves us money and it is good for the environment. We have a hanging system in a pantry space. A whole room will get done in about 2 to 3 hours. It would take twice that and 10× the electricity to do that with a normal dryer. Real game changer!
