Caravan Washing Machines
Keep your wardrobe fresh on the road with Home & RV’s caravan washing machines—available in space-saving built-in, portable, and wall-mounted models. Designed for energy efficiency, lightweight installation, and small water use, our units are perfect for tight caravan layouts and off‑grid laundries
Caravan Washing Machines: On-the-Road Laundry Made Easy
A dedicated caravan washing machine turns laundry day into a quick, no-fuss task. Instead of timing your trips around crowded park laundries, you can wash when it suits—after the beach, between hikes, or on multi-week legs far from town. Our range of caravan washing machines is built specifically for mobile use, with balanced drums, transport-ready mounts and programs that clean well without draining your water tanks or batteries.
Choose the Format That Fits Your Layout
If space is at a premium, a wall-mounted unit is often the neatest solution. The NCE 3.0 kg Wall-Mounted Washing Machine fixes securely to a reinforced panel, keeping floors clear for storage, prams or pet beds. Loading is comfortable at chest height and the drum is engineered to resist vibration on corrugated roads. Where cabinetry is already planned, a compact top-loader provides familiar operation in a footprint most vans can spare. The NCE 3.5 kg Top Load slots into a simple box cabinet with ventilation space behind, giving you steady wash performance and easy access to hoses and filters. If you prefer not to commit to a permanent install, a portable washer delivers the essentials for short trips—store it in a boot or cupboard and bring it out on laundry day.
Water & Power: Designed for Touring, Not a House
Every litre and watt counts in a caravan. That’s why these machines are tuned for shorter, cooler cycles that still pull sweat, sand and sunscreen out of fabrics. Typical cycles use around 20–30 litres (program-dependent) and run on 240 V, so you can power them from mains at a powered site, an inverter on your battery bank, or a quiet inverter generator. If you travel off-grid often, plan to wash during peak solar and choose eco or cold-wash programs—your batteries recharge faster and clothes last longer without frequent hot cycles.
At-a-Glance Comparison
| Type | Best For | Strengths | What to Plan For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wall-mounted | Very tight bathrooms/ensuites | Zero floor use; ergonomic loading; tidy install | Reinforced panel, proper brackets and fasteners |
| Top-load | General layouts with a small cabinet | Familiar controls; stable performance; easy service access | Dedicated footprint, ventilation gap and strap-down for travel |
| Portable | Occasional washers or multiple vehicles | No permanent cut-out; stows away when not used | Secure unit during travel; manual setup each wash |

Plumbing & Installation, Explained Simply
Hookup is straightforward: a cold-water feed from your van’s pump, a drain hose to a grey tank or approved outlet, and a 240 V connection. For wall-mounted units, use the supplied brackets and a substrate that spreads the load—marine ply or an aluminium frame behind the lining works well. Top-loaders sit in a simple cabinet with a lip or straps to stop movement; leave an air gap behind the unit so the electronics stay cool. Keep a gentle “loop” in the drain hose to discourage backflow, and confirm the run has enough fall so water exits cleanly. A quick visual check after your first wash on the road—hoses tight, no weeping at fittings—pays off for the season.
Day-to-Day Use & Care
Modern controls make operation intuitive: choose the program, set the water level and press Start. Heavily soiled gear responds well to a short pre-rinse, but for most loads an eco or normal cycle is enough. Empty lint filters frequently (especially after beach days), wipe the door seal, and leave the lid or door ajar between washes to let moisture escape. Every month or so, run a maintenance cycle—warm water and a drum clean tab or a splash of white vinegar—to keep the tub fresh. Before long corrugated sections, ensure travel locks/straps are in place and re-check mounting screws at your next stop.

If you’re mapping out an off-grid power system, pair your washer with lithium storage, a quality inverter/charger and a DC-DC charger so batteries recover quickly between loads.
