Ours is a domestic 7kg machine and went in well but I think we have a bigger door. Forget about the wiring it's a head banger to me. Did you get the bog all done? How is Margaret?20170601_566.jpg20121021_2002.JPG
Just like George, I know better than to argue with the boss ;) :lol:

It is a 3kg washer, sounds like a waste of time and effort, but impressive just how much it can wash each load. Winter clothes might be a different story though :roll:

With the washing machine, how will it drain into the grey water tanks?

A good question .... and well asked I might add :lol: Probably a bucket and pump. The machine does have a water pump, just not sure what sort of lift it is capable of ..... it might be possible to use a 3/4" hose to feed along to the grey water tank :arrow: , the spot on the other side that would have become available when the second gas tank was removed would have been ideal, the waste pipe from the kitchen sink is close by ..... but that was a project too far as we already had the washing machine and it needed somewhere it could be easily carried in the Winnie .... easily being a loosely used term here .....
The spot beside where the split system air conditioner will mount would be a better spot for a slide out chest freezer anyway ....

Funny how an "oops" can turn into a 150 word essay. :roll:

With the bucket idea, how will the pump turn on to pump into the tank?

You've changed Terry. Not quite the same Terry I used to know.

So what would you rather Jon, the short concise T1 answer or the long winded, drifted off the subject answer, that doesn't really answer the question anyway, answer. I know what I'd prefer. :D

Twin tub is the way2go, wash using wool wash, when you spin the wash catch the water in a bucket & put it back into the machine, for next load, always wash in a location where you can empty the water on the ground or stay at a caravan park & use their drainage system. ✅
