I have the Ariston (made by splendide) stacked washer and dryer. The wife uses it a lot except during the winter when we are in Quartzsite, then she goes to the laundromat every couple of weeks.
Some are called, some are sent, some just got up and went.

My wife also likes the small combo units she says they do a good job,these new house type energy saving units will take hours to do a load I don't get it ,then you need to buy special balls for the dryer or they knot the clothes up it was a big waste of $2500.00 IMO but the chimes have a nice tone  8).It was trash compactors for awhile,ice makers (I have 3 of those take out),dish washers btdt,the list goes on but my very favorite is the stinking claw foot bath tub  :-\

Toss the tub and you'll have plenty or room to store the other gagets.

Our little bus has neither room for a W/D nor clothes storage--we just stop at Wallmart and buy new duds and trash the old ones when things get too ripe------

I know this Canadian that uses his for liquor storage when he heads back north every year :o

I guess it depends how you use the coach.  If you're tied to a pole most of the time then a W/D might make more sense. Otherwise they use a lot of water and power.

Have you had experience with those washers without agitators? They suck the big one in my opinion.

We would not go back to no laundry center. Washer and dryer installed, both front loaders. Washer uses about 35 gallons on a full load. Dryer is propane fueled. Both work well when traveling down the road. Leave a campground, or dump site, wash and then dry, fold and put away. Arrive at the next stop laundry done and ready for fun.
Key for power is a gas dryer which needs a small amount of 120VAC.
Dry camping means no clothes washing. Until water is refilled and tank emptied. When we were in Florida for motor transplant we washed clothes on Saturday. Usually two loads. Pumped out before starting and pumped after laundry. 
We vote twice for the laundry onboard.
