Hi I am Kim,

New to this site today but would like a little advice before I go ahead and buy one.  I've seen the portable washing machines in Towsure Catalogue and wondered if they're any good.  We  have 4 children and last year when we went away I ended up using more clothes then what I thought cos of the weather and ended up handwashing, what a pain in the butt!!

So I thought maybe I could invest in one of these gadgets, but I dont want to waste money if they're rubbish! 

Please could you help and shove me in the right direction

also if anyone would have any ideas, obviously I cant take a cot for my 10 month old so what could I put him to sleep in that would be safe enough, I wash thinking one of those airbeds for children with the sides on, they're about £30 in Argos but does anyone else have a better idea please.

A very inexperienced caravanner!!

thank you guys

Hi Kim and welcome to the madhouse.

 Have not used one of these but used a similar idea a few years ago. I could have done better with my hands and a bowl. Think your best idea would be to use on site launderette, many have them these days.  or find a local landerette if desperate. Have to think of the weight and storage factor also.

Hi Kim, We would not buy one of those washing machines as they take up too much already limited space and most good sites now have laundry facilities.  When we go away we sometimes take our grand children and when they were small we bought a travel cot from Mother Care and found it very good when placed on top of the bed in the corner. I have had a look for you on EBay and you could check out item 120102244174  or type in travel cot

                           Best Wishes and Happy Caravanning.    Sam.

thank u guys. you're all very helpful on this site

I have a camping twin tub and I have found it invaluable if going away for a couple of weeks, I have 4 kids and I found the laundrette was fast becomig my new best friend.
