I go on a site every 7 - 10 days that has a washing machine. Think it's normally £2.50 - £4.00, although one this year was free. If desperate I can do a few undies in my little pink bwl with my holey plunger.
that last line had me in a fit of giggles for some reason :lol-061:
We can last 2-3 weeks without needing a launderette.For longer trips we have been using a camping washing machine like this which fits perfectly in the garage.

It works very well,the drawback is that it needs a separate supply of hot water which means that we only use it when on a site.Recently though mrs wakk has been using campsite launderettes for about a fiver just because of the convenience,ease of use and no faffing around getting hot water.Anyone want to buy a camping washing machine?
I can be seen regularly in the alps doing just this, I once did it in a Scottish waterfall whilst having a shower, only when I got out and walked around the waterfall did I see loads of dead and rotting sheep in the water above where I had showered, I soon turned on the shower in the van???? REAL wilders would be out there with a stone/scrubbing brush on a river bank - we've gone waaaay too soft !!!!

Like Caz, we tend to go into sites about once a fortnight to do the washing, as we carry at least 2 weeks worth of underwear. For odd little bits like socks, I hand wash them, and use a salad spinner as a spin dryer. It's surprising how much water it gets out, but only good for small quantities. (Before someone asks, NO, we don't spin salad in it as well!!)
So 3 People use Laundretts so far !.
