Making the RV laundry closet work for you

RVers Christine and Lon Cross are from Yorba Linda, California. I caught up with Christine at a recent Country Coach rally. A gourmet cook and avid RVer Christine knows exactly what she wants when it comes to the interior of her motorhome. She prefers the stacking apartment sized washer and dryer for her laundry closet. Since the dryer is a front loader it is located on the top shelf of the closet because it's easier to work with in this configuration. As a side note, when she's not doing laundry she uses the dryer as a "chip locker".

Underneath is the top loading wahsing machine. To enhance this working space she had the light moved from the top of the closet to the side by the washing machine. One of the prblems with this arrangement is the dryer shelf prevents the top loader lid from opening completely. To overcome this issue she had her husband install a magnet underneath the dryer shelf. The magnet holds up the lid freeing boath hands to do the laundry. Simple yet ingenious!

Another option for some RV'ers is to use compact, inexpensive washers and spin dryers such as at http://www.laundry-alternative.com
