We have been using the Towsure Twin Tub for 3 years now, it has been to the south of France, the north of Norway, and is now on its way to Switzerland.
I generally try to do a few loads every 6 days or so. Unless clothes are really dirty, I find I can start with the whites and continue with the coloureds just by topping up with more hot water.I use a liquid detergent.
I generally wash everything first, and as it is ready I send OH to the sinks to rinse, this saves fetching/emptying so much water. If we have a serviced pitch then we can do it all on the pitch. The tub holds 17 litres of water.
As he brings each batch back I spin it and hang it up. The machine washes really well, and the spinner is very effective.
The wash timer has 15 minutes on it, this is usually long enough, but you can just set it again if need be.
The only items I do not use it for are our king size duvet cover and our large bath towels. They are too heavy/bulky for it when wet. When they are due a wash I make up a load of coloureds with OH's jeans and whatever else needs doing and use the site machine.
We do 3 month trips, generally stopping for about 5 nights at a time, so it has had about 10 months use so far, so I reckon it has paid for itself. Its not that heavy, we keep it under our fixed bed, I can lift it very easily.
