#BOONDOCKING #DIRTYLAUNDRY #HDTRVLIFE
stunning upload JonesN2Travel. I shattered that thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the amazing work.
Thank you Keyser The Red Beard. Thanks for checking out the video and following along. Safe Travels
We did laundry while we boondocked at the Q but only the wash cycle. At that time we had 1200watts with five lithium batteries and a Magnum inverter it couldn’t handle the heat side so now I installed the Victron Multiplus and going to try it again the next time we boondock. Great information thanks for sharing friends. Stay safe in your travels.👍👏🇺🇸🥑❤️
Hey guys. Thanks for checking out the video. Our Victron mulitpluses work great and had no problem at all handling the dryer. :) Keep us posted on how yours goes. Safe Travels Friends :)
Hi guys..I think you are correct...if you get in a bind you can do a little bit of laundry boondocking...but it is not practical...might be better to just go to a laundry place and get it all done at once...it's not the power problem..solar or generator...it's the water ... Replenishing and emptying...stay safe..thanks ..
Hey guys. Its nice to have options LOL Laundry mats are always the fastest too :) Stay safe out there, see you guys again soon. Safe Travels
Ever think of dry cleaning while boondocking? Just turn the water off and load the washer like normal, learned that trick on Green Acres years ago🙂
Hey Jeff, never thought of doing that. Doesn't seem that it would clean very well LOL. Safe Travels
Yall always do great on your videos Thanks and Enjoy the Journey
Hey there KT. Thanks man. Thanks for checking out the video and following along. Safe Travels
Great Video! Thanks for sharing! Stay Safe! Safe travels.
Thank you. Thanks for checking out the video and following along. Safe Travels
Travel safe and we enjoy your very helpful videos. 🏕️😎
Thank you so much for checking out the video and following along. Safe Travels
I agree that seems like alot of water being used for washing clothes. I had an awwwhaaaa moment a few weeks ago. How dirty are our clothes really. Our farm chore cloths are filthy but our other clothes really just need freshened up. I started using my fast wash cycle with great success on our less dirty things. Laundry takes alot less time now. Just a thought ...
Hi Selena. Great tip thanks for sharing it. I'll pass this along to Tina :) Thanks for checking out the video and following along. Safe Travels
Cool video! We were surprised by how much water was used to launder towels. That's pretty mind-blowing! And love seeing Maggie. Tech Tuesday is an awesome idea!
Hey Elen. Thanks so much for the feedback. We are going to redo the experiment with a different method of measuring water usage. It just seems like too much water to me LOL Thanks for checking out the video and following along. Safe Travels
Maggie is such a laid back gentle giant.........you are blessed. I've had friends who have Great Danes that are not as laid back.
She is very laid back. I think its because she's so used to this lifestyle she just rolls with it LOL Safe Travels
Nice park there! Spring is right around the corner! We bought a small portable washer that we use to wash clothes while boondocking. We catch the 3-4 gallons of grey water and use it to flush the toilet.
That is a great idea. We almost bought one of those when we were in the Bighorn. Thanks for checking out the video and following along. Safe Travels
Excellent Glad the White Stuff is Gone Good Tips BJ loves her Smart Car but I drive it more. Lol ...Got our meetup here in Louisiana at the end of the Month Sure miss yall
So glad she loves the smart. You must like it a little bit too LOL Man, I wish we could make the meetup, we'll see. :) Miss you guys too. Thanks for checking out the video and following along. Safe Travels
Just finished watching this episode, and had a thought about water use during laundry.
I use a water meter on my water input to our 5th wheel to measure the amount of water loaded before a trip.
If you used one while hooked up a a campsite, it would give you a pretty good idea of water usage..
Hi Bruce. Excellent idea. I do have one of those but didn't think about using it that time. I will likely do an update video and use the meter to get a precise measurement. Thanks so much for the suggestion too. :) Safe Travels
Love your set up ..
Hey Howard. Thank you so much for checking out the video and following along. We appreciate you! :) Safe Travels
Thanks for the update. What's keeping up north when you can be heading down south to a warmer climate.
Hey Antonio. We are working on some personal business up here. If it wasn't for that we would have retuned to AZ after my mom's funeral. :( Thanks for checking out the video and following along. Safe Travels
awesome yes its possible!
Thanks for checking out the video. We were curious just how probable it was and too our surprise not too bad. LOL Safe Travels
Those washers have a "quick" cycle and uses 30% less water per the website. Delicate uses most water than permanent press.
Wow, that's good to know. I still want to do a test with my water meter to see what we are really looking at as far as water usage. Thanks for this info . :) Safe Travels
I use a water hose meter 16.00$ at amazon, to measure all incoming water
Hey there. I have one of those. I may repeat the experiment with that meter for a more accurate measurement. Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels
I would put a 5gallon bucket and see if it fill it. But your gray water gauge better than ours
I'm probably going to repeat this using some additional measuring methods. Curious how accurate our gauges really are LOL. Thanks for checking out the video and following along. Safe Travels
Good video, but I'd rather watch Maggie than watch the washer. Keep them comin
Thanks Dave. See you soon! Safe Travels
Love to hear your reviews and installs you got, Safe Travels...
Hey George. Thanks for the feedback. We have a list of items to review as soon as the weather cooperates a bit LOL Stay tuned and thanks for following along. Safe Travels
That’s a Ton of water :-) I like that you have the option though! Oh yah.. I look forward to the videos on new toys
Hey Darisan. Yeah, its always good to have options. :) Thanks for checking out the video and for following along. Safe Travels
I want to get a small group of HDT's to find cheap, pretty scenery, lots with or without Electric. Then with my Bobcat smooth out some sites / install a small septic tank maybe... and repeat all up the country from Az to Montana, that way we can have a "Home Base if needed and find good weather & 70 degrees 365...... what ya think ?
I think that's an excellent plan :)
Old school way to get the actual gallons. Is to drain your gray tank with 5 gallon bucket. You have a valve. Fill it and then dump it.
Yes, that is a great idea. There are multiple ways to do it and certainly more accurate ways than our little test. :) Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels
Sensors are not very accurate. Best way I've done is: Fill up your water tank run one load and then refill your tank measuring how much to fill your tank back up.
Great tips Steven. Thanks and Safe Travels
Tech videos couple times or so a month would be interesting.
Great Gary. Thanks for the feedback Sir. Safe Travels
Did you keep track of your power useage with washer and also with Dryer the amps it used? Also, do you have a wiring diagram of your solar setup? Thanks and enjoy your adventures! We are full timing this fall in our 2021 GD Momentum 376THS. See you on the road!
Hey there. I didn't keep a super close eye on the electrical data but we were in good sun and our solar peaked at about 1600 watts with both washer and dryer running. We used zero % of our batteries because we had full sun so that's cool. I realize now I need to redo this test and keep more accurate measurements so an update will come soon so stick around :) Congrats on going fulltime, we hope you love it as much as we do. Safe Travels
This was a great video. I was wondering if you use your washer and dryer while boondocking. And was wondering how much water the washer used and electricity the dryer uses. Thank you Aaron and Tina. Enjoy your adventure in South Dakota. And see you next week. Have a great week!!
Hi Sherri. Yeah we were curious too and its not impossible LOL. See you next week! Safe Travels
@@JonesN2Travel Oh ok good that is great to know that you can wash clothes or towels while boondocking. I would do it if the next town was further away where they had a laundromat. Thank you so much Aaron.
Warm? - What's the temp? Snow may be gone, but I'm thinking it's still a bit chilly. Taking brisk walks, I'll bet lol
Hi Dawn. Well, the day I shot this it was in the fifties and the sun was warm LOL. It is still a bit chilly, yes, especially the wind. :) Thanks for checking out the video and for following along. Safe Travels
Wow, the land is void of Trees, flora and fauna.
It is the desert LOL Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels
Good video thx for for the info
You bet, thanks for following along :) Safe Travels
Great video guys! Inquiring minds want to know, how long were you able to run the dryers for and what kind of draw did it have on your batteries? 😁
Hey Guys. So good to hear from you, hopefully you are doing well. We used about 1600 watts running the dryer but we pulled 100% of that from the sun so we used zero battery. It was a nice sunny day in Utah last year and our solar performed very well. Stay safe you guys and we'll see you down the road. Safe Travels Friends :)
@@JonesN2Travel Hey there we are doing well, hope y’all are to! Man sounds like you found the perfect way to do laundry while boondocking. Thanks for sharing the stats!
Hope you ride thru Custer State Park and do a video....we can't wait to get back there mid April!
Hi Susan. Its supposed to be in the 70s this weekend so we cant wait to get out and check out the park again. Video to come :) Safe Travels
@@JonesN2Travel thanks we hope to leave Yuma, AZ on April 9th and arrive in Hermosa, SD April 15th. This summer we plan on becoming SD residents thru America's Mailbox and give up our Florida domicle....after 40+ years we've had enough of Florida it has changed so much and we love it out west. If it weren't for the winters we'd be in SD all year! Great side by side riding. Hope to meet you someday on the road!
@@susananderson618 Sounds great Susan. We love it here too. Have a safe trip up this way and perhaps we'll see you out there someday :) Safe Travels
if you wanted to know how much fuel you used on a 200 mile trip, you would look at the reading on the fuel pump when you filled up. If you wanted to know power consumption, you would take a reading on a killawatt meter.........so go buy a $15 water meter for your water hose and get real results,
Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels
have it dump into buckets from your holding tank
Hi John, great idea. Multiple ways to skin a cat so to speak :) Thanks for checking out the video and for following along. Safe Travels
I wonder what the results would have been if you used an inline water meter on your washer inlets?
Great idea Andrew. Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels
Did it really take an hour and a half to do the first load. That seems like a long time.
Hey there. Different load settings take different amount of time but yes, on that setting its that Long lol. Thanks for checking out the video and following along. Safe Travels
How much solar did you use?
Hey Roy. With both washer and dryer running we peaked at about 1600 watts and used zero % of our batteries because we had full sun. :) Hope that helps. Safe Travels
