Used (or late model) RVs with a washer and dryer are not as common as one might think. However, just having a washer and dryer on board is a heck of an advantage, eliminating the need to be proactive in planning your laundry out each and every day.
Most of the time, the RVs that include them do so in a way that doesn’t reduce the amount of living space throughout the RV. It’s even more of a surprise when you find washer and dryer units or, at the very least, washer and dryer hookups, in a non-Class A.
We’ve been reviewing RVs for over 5 years, so we were able to put together our list of the best late-model (or used) RVs that we have reviewed.
If you’re on the lookout for RVs with a washer and dryer, there are options in Class As, Class Cs, 5th wheels, and travel trailers. With that being said, here is a list of late model RVs that will keep you out of the campground laundry room and in the comfort of your own home.
Is Adding a Washer and Dryer to Your RV or Camper a Standard Option?
Many RVs and campers can provide the luxury and convenience of being able to do your laundry in your motorhome while enjoying your open road adventures.
Typically, most motorhomes or campers do not come with a washer/dryer already installed. However, they do have the option of having the hookups installed, which are often located in a closet or wardrobe. Then you simply select and purchase a washer/dryer combo when you buy your RV.
Adding a washer/dryer can make life on the open road much more convenient, allowing for more efficient use of your time. If you have your own washer/dryer installed in your RV, you can do your laundry while at your campground. And this beats being stuck all day pumping quarters into the machines at some laundromat!
Even for small campers without washer/dryer hookups available, there are ways to do your laundry while still enjoying the evening sitting around the campfire toasting marshmallows.
Susan and I have a stackable washer and dryer in our late model 2021 Thor Challenger and we love it! Susan says laundry is a breeze, and we also dry our towels and washcloths in the dryer after we shower, which reduces humidity in our rig and reduces mildew.
10 Best Used RVs and Campers with a Washer and Dryer (or Hookup)
Now, not all of these come with a physical washer and dryer. However, just having the option of bringing in a set later down the road is a very nice accommodation.
Best Late Model Class A RVs With a Washer and Dryer
Class A motorhomes are luxury recreational vehicles built on a heavy-duty chassis or stripped truck chassis. Class A motorhomes integrate the driving compartment with the interior living space.
These are the largest and most luxurious RVs and are popular with full-time RVers. They offer plenty of space for a family and/or pets and have an adequate towing capacity to tow a car for side excursions for sightseeing and trips to the local grocer.
Most Class A RVs over 30 feet in length will have washer/dryer hookups. Models shorter than 35 feet don’t have the space to include a washer/dryer.
Some higher-end Class A models may come with the washer/dryer already installed, but most often, they simply include the closet space and hookups. The washer/dryer unit is an additional purchase.

Best Late Model Class B RVs With a Washer and Dryer
Unfortunately, Class B motorhomes, because of their size constraints, do not come with any washer/dryer hookup options. The portable washers and dryers may be an option to consider when looking at a Class B motorhome.
One manufacturer, Haier, offers an excellent electric washer. You just put the clothes in, hook up the hoses, and let it go! This washer is actually very flexible and can be set up in the same washer/dryer closets larger RVs provide.
Or if you own a Class B motorhome, you can just set it up near the kitchen sink. Once you have it set up in the kitchen, you connect the water hose to the faucet and pop the drain hose in the sink.
In addition to their portable washer, Haier offers a portable dryer as well. Haier does an incredible job of providing top-quality compact appliances. You can mount the dryers on the wall or set them on a counter. This terrific little dryer is vented, so it’s not going to add to the water in your tanks, and its sensor knows when to shut the dryer off.
Best Used Class C RVs With a Washer and Dryer
Class C RVs are some of the most popular on the road. They offer all the benefits of larger Class A RVs in a more compact package.

- Towing Capacity: 12,000 lbs
- Chassis: Freightliner SR2V Series

Like many well-designed RVs, the Jayco Seneca 37K includes a washer/dryer option in a bathroom closet at the rear of the RV. This keeps your laundry-running noises out of earshot of the main living area.
5. 2019 Coachmen Leprechaun 311FS

The Coachmen Leprechaun 311FS is another terrific model if you want a little more luxury while you are away from home. The Leprechaun Class C motorhomes have provided high-quality construction, better interior appointments, and a long list of safety and convenience features since 1973.
The 311FS model offers a bedroom with a real walk-in closet, allowing you to hang your clothes up. Other features include a private entry door into the bathroom for convenience at night, a residential refrigerator, a queen-sized bed, and an outside entertainment center.
The slide-outs throughout the unit give you plenty of extra space while you are parked and enjoying your vacation. The 311Fs can accommodate a family of up to eight reasonably comfortably.
This model includes space for a side-by-side washer/dryer combo in the bathroom area and far enough away from the living space to keep any laundry noises to a minimum.
Best Late Model 5th Wheels With a Washer and Dryer
Fifth wheels can often provide the luxury of a washer/dryer due to their size. Popular for full-timers, 5th wheels with a washer and dryer make great homes away from home. Here are two examples.
6. 2019 Forest River Sandpiper 378FB
Our Pros and Cons
✅ Massive bathroom with dual sinks and a full tub/shower
⛔Not much counter space other than the kitchen island
- Length: 41.2′

The Sandpiper’s washer/dryer setup is well hidden in a closet in the bathroom. This location is an excellent choice because you don’t have the noise of a washer/dryer system running in the main living space of the trailer.

They feature tall ceilings, easy-tow-ability, and faster hookups. Amenities include two opposing side slide-out tri-fold sofas, hardwood cabinets and fascia, theater seats with heat and massage capabilities, a large LED TV, a three-burner range, big windows, and a private bedroom.
The 37Rk includes a washer/dryer set up in a closet located in the master bedroom. Like the Sandpiper, this allows you to add a stackable washer/dryer while keeping the noise of the system away from the main living space when running.
Best Used Travel Trailers With a Washer and Dryer
Travel trailers come in many sizes including some pretty short models. There are however some very large travel trailers as well as destination trailers that have room to offer a washer and dryer.
8. 2019 Coachmen Catalina Destination Series (Models: 39MKTS, 39RLTS)
Our Pros and Cons
✅ Incredible number of cabinets and storage options throughout

Both the 39MKTS and 39RLTS offer washer/dryer hookups in closets between the bathroom and bedroom areas. Again this location is a good choice to keep the laundry noises down in the main living areas of these models. All you need to do is choose and purchase your favorite stackable washer/dryer system and put it in place.
9. 2020 Open Range Travel Trailer QT310BHS
Our Pros and Cons

Open Range explicitly designed these travel trailers for seasoned RVers who enjoy heading out on extended outdoor adventures.
This Open Range model offers a spacious living and kitchen area, plus a private bunkhouse that kids or other guests will enjoy. The master bedroom is on the opposite end of the camper, and there is dual access to the bathroom, making those nighttime trips more convenient.
Several other of the Open Range models including the OT324RES and the OT323RLS offer an option for a washer/dryer hookup.
Best Used Popup Campers With a Washer and Dryer
Popup campers have minimal space. Sometimes you have to get creative. There are many small portable washers and dryers out there that can work with smaller campers such as the popup models.
Again, as with the Class B motorhomes, you could look at the portable washer/dryer models Haier, and other manufacturers offer. Many models work reasonably well, and they sure beat scrubbing your laundry on rocks in a creek and then using a clothesline to dry them.
In some climates, using a clothesline can be tricky. For example, in the North Woods, with all the moisture in the air, laundry can take a long time to dry … if it ever really does.
Best Used Truck Camper With a Washer and Dryer
Truck campers also have minimal space. However, you can find a few top-of-the-line truck campers offering optional laundry centers.
10. 2020 Host Campers Mammoth 11′ 6″
Our Pros and Cons
✅ Massive, 180 square feet of living space that sleeps up to five people
⛔You’ll need a minimum of an F-350 dually to haul it once you have the camper fully loaded
- Category: 1-ton
- Length: 19′ 3″
- Center of Gravity: Unlisted
- Cargo Bed: Long
- UVW: 3,955 lbs
- Sleeps: 5
Get upfront price offers on local inventory.
Host Campers’ Mammoth certainly lives up to its name and offers many amenities including a queen-size bed (optional king-sized bed), cabinets with Shaker doors, a two-door 8 cu ft refrigerator, a large three-burner range, adjustable reading lights, an optional 24″ TV in the bedroom, pleated shades, bathroom power vent, an outside entertainment center, and an exterior shower.
The rear slide-out offers three options, including a sofa with an overhead cabinet, a rear wardrobe, and a washer/dryer combo hookup with additional cabinets.
Also, you still have the Haier portable washer/dryer as well as the other options mentioned above.
And of course, for drying, you can still always use the venerable old clothesline … weather permitting, of course.
Do You Really Need A Washer And Dryer In An RV?
You don’t really need one. However, without a washer and dryer, you will have to carefully plan out your laundry, as well as conserve space with dirty laundry until you can wash, dry, and fold them.
Without one, you’ll rely on public laundromats and campground laundry facilities. If you enjoy boondocking, laundry may be the lone thing holding you back from an extended stay off the grid.
How Much Does It Cost To Do Laundry At A Campground?
Campground laundromats are similar to public ones and generally cost a couple of dollars per load, in the washer, and roughly the same to run them through the dryer. Maybe a little less for the latter.
If you have a sizeable family on the go, it may be a little more expensive.
Final Words About Used (Late Model) RVs With a Washer and Dryer
RVs with a washer and dryer offer a surprising amount of convenience. If you can do laundry in the comfort of your own home, that’s a win every time. No more hauling baskets full of dirty clothes and towels into public facilities.
Of course, you will go through your water a little faster if you’re not hooked up, but it’s probably a sacrifice that’s well worth the trade-off.
