RV Washers and Dryers — What Matters and What’s Out There
​
Laundry on the road doesn’t have to mean laundromats or compromising on convenience. But choosing the right washer and dryer for your RV isn’t as simple as picking what’s cheapest — space, power, water use, installation type, durability, and serviceability all matter. Here’s a practical, no-nonsense look at how to choose, what brands are out there, which products are popular, and what to know about parts and support.
​​​
​
Fit & Installation Type
Built-in Stackable Units:
Best for larger RVs with dedicated laundry closets. Higher capacity, faster cycles, and typically better drying performance.
​
Combo Units:
Excellent for mid-size and smaller rigs. One drum does both wash and dry — no transfer needed. Saves space and simplifies hookups.
Portable Units: Good for very small rigs, occasional laundry needs, or boondocking. Usually lighter and easier to store, but lower capacity and longer cycle times.
Power, Water Efficiency, and Capacity
​​RV sites vary. You want a machine that works well on:
30 A or 50 A shore power
Limited water supply
Low heat ventless drying (if venting isn’t possible)
​
Consider how much laundry you’ll do:
Full-time travelers and families: larger capacity wins
Occasional users and couples: compact sizes with essential cycles

Power, Water Efficiency, and Capacity
RV life means vibration, frequent hookups, and long distances. Look for units built for mobile environments and backed by good parts availability and support.
Brands In the RV Industry
There are several brands and approaches in the RV washer/dryer market:
Splendide® — RV-Focused, Proven, Serviceable (Our Top Pick)
Splendide® has been a go-to brand for RV washers and dryers for decades. What sets them apart:
-
Designed for RV use — not adapted from residential models.
-
Great fit in RV laundry closets.
-
Strong parts support and service documentation across North America.
-
Available as washer/dryer combos and stackable sets.
-
Reliable performance in real RV conditions.
Splendide® models are widely regarded as the most dependable long-term choice for RV owners who want performance and peace of mind.
​
Pinnacle
-

Good wash performance and attractive features.
-
Parts and service network is improving but still smaller than Splendide®’s ecosystem.
-
Still a solid choice when specific features matter — but less proven long term.
​
Magic Chef
-
Often found under general “appliance” categories through big retailers.
-
Budget-friendly, but not RV-specific by design.
-
Parts and technical support for RV installations can be limited.
-
Works for occasional laundry needs, but fewer options for long-term RV living.

Splendide® Washer/Dryer Drain Pump 763657
​
This is one of the most commonly ordered replacement parts because drain and spin issues are among the most frequent service problems across many Splendide® washer and combo models. This pump is responsible for removing water from the tub during drain and spin cycles, and when it weakens or fails, units may stop mid-cycle, display drain errors, or leave water behind. Because the same pump design is used across multiple Splendide® models, replacing it often restores normal operation without requiring a full machine replacement.
Splendide® washer/dryer inlet valves
These are another set of commonly ordered parts because they control the flow of hot and cold water into the machine; when they fail or clog, the washer won’t fill properly, resulting in no wash cycles or error codes. The Cold Water Inlet Valve (Part # 110453) and Hot Water Inlet Valve (Part # 110452) are often replaced individually when one side fails, while the Triple Inlet Valve (Part # 309202) combines both hot and cold feeds in one assembly for certain models. These parts are widely used across many Splendide® washer and combo units—so stocking the correct valve for your model can quickly restore proper fill performance without a full machine overhaul.​
Splendide® Drive Belts
These are the most commonly replaced wear items because they transfer power from the motor to the drum during wash, tumble, and spin cycles. Over time, normal use, heavy loads, or partial obstructions cause belts to stretch, glaze, or crack, which leads to symptoms like the drum not turning, weak or no spin, or loud squealing noises.
Different Splendide® washer and combo models use different belt sizes and profiles, which is why model-specific belts such as Drive Belt 145707, 119126, and 082812 are frequently ordered depending on the machine. Replacing a worn belt is a straightforward repair that often restores full drum movement and spin performance without the expense of replacing the motor or transmission—making drive belts one of the most cost-effective fixes for many Splendide® washer problems.
How to Find the Part You Need
RVWashersDryers makes finding the right Splendide® replacement part simple by organizing everything by model first, then breaking each machine down into clear, logical part categories. Instead of guessing part numbers, customers start by selecting their exact Splendide® model—such as the WFL1300XD, WDC7200XCD, WDV2200XCD, ARWXF129WNA, or WD2100XC—and are instantly shown all compatible categories like belts, drain pumps, door parts, control panels, heating elements, hoses, gaskets, motors, and electrical components (as shown above). This model-first approach mirrors how technicians diagnose repairs, helping RV owners quickly narrow down what they need, avoid ordering incorrect parts, and confidently repair their washer or washer-dryer combo the right way the first time.
