In the 179, there is a dinette cushion that removes for 'secret storage.' That's where our laundry goes in a mesh bag. We fold things compactly.

I usually seek out someone in the campground who has a big motor home or 5th wheel with a washer & dryer ask them if they mind if I do some laundry.  Most don't care and in many cases they do it for me.  I'm suspecting they are just jealous of our RPod.  Give it a try next time.  It's a great way to meet people and great first impression.

Thanks for the replies!  It's amazing how much dirty laundry 3 people can produce on hot summer days when out hiking, etc, and I don't think storing dirty stuff in our tow vehicle would go over so well. Hmm....perhaps we could keep it in the r-dome...... it might keep the mosquitos away!  (and the neighbours.......!  ;-)  )

Maybe inside the microwave oven-- if it's not plugged into power, on shorter trips?  If you put enough dirty laundry up in the low front of the pod it will help off-set the weight of the water in the fresh water tank and it should tow better and you might not need a sway bar.  It all depends upon your size and how often you change..... Go commando pod and save space!    Wink
(Ours goes into a breathable laundry bag in the back seat of the pickup truck).

Laundry bag under dinette table. It works for 3-4 day weekends. I make a lot of dirty clothes (mountain biking) and showering , so towels, washcloths, and dirty bike clothes. I don't know if I could go a whole week, except by putting some of it into the TV (stinky).

We use a laundry bag with draw strings and hang it from the valet and let it rest on the corner of the bed.

We use a bin that we shove under the bed of our 177.  Caveat:  That's also where the furnace is, so be sure to move it before turning on the furnace!
