We have a Spendide washer/dryer. It's a front loader and seems to work well. It can do hot/cold wash using hot water from the water heater (we use solar power to heat our domestic water). For drying we need to be plugged in and it takes a long time, we usually hang the laundry on the rear...
We went with the AirHead, mainly because it is smaller and can be mounted right against the wall. Since it is smaller the pee tank needs emptying each day. We go about 10 days with a coco brick for "solids". We are happy we went this route.
Our trip thru the Baja continues and keeps getting better and better. Whales, tacos, meeting new friends and playing with our truck! Heather has way more pictures and stories in our blog if you're interested in more details, but here are a few pics.
Some evening grilling in the desert

It is about 34km of rough roads in and 36km out (going in off route 12 and exiting to 1). There are also hot springs there and we plan on spending the night.
Yup, that Sterling. This is our second charger replaced under warranty...
Just a quick one with some pics (oh and I got the Sterling b2b charger fixed, one of the fans died).
And, yup we are having a blast. In a couple of days will be heading inland to a mission. Should be some interesting rougher road driving. Good to be going with another full sized truck (the...
We made the hop south of the border and are now camped on the beach in Baja. All went smoothly at the border. We are now parked next to another expedition rv, friends of @Neil who helped put us in touch. They built a very cool stub nose double cab with an Ormocar built habitat (they finished the...
Thanks for the idea. Did some new searching and came up with this https://www.pitpal.com/access-doors/gas-fill-guard-w/door-lock-hole/.
Could insulate from the back as it is 1" deep and make a small foam black for the outside between the door and neck. Would probably try and paint/powder coat it.
I am looking for something that probably doesn't exist short of being custom. I want an insulated door that latches. So from the outside it looks like just a small cargo door. Open it up and you see a panel with a formed round hole for the vent. Ideally it would be white gelcoated fiberglass. I...
Ok, I installed a combo washer/dryer in our truck. I was not able to find an external vent that I liked. I would prefer a small door that flips open to expose the vent. Anyone know of anything like that?
Our chassis was in pretty good condition but we did have a guy with a "dustless blaster" come in to get the rusty spots. It was dustless but left an enormous amount of fine sand everywhere.
The rack and storage box are now bolted on and the light bars/horn mounted. We are back at the little campground where we will finish the wiring/tubing for the lights, horn and paint the box. Of course ran into a issue with the 50" light bar on our first drive. Right at about 20mph it started to...
Our truck is also listed with different front/rear ratios. I have been told by a retired Mercedes truck mechanic that owns an LN2 that the EPC is incorrect (the ratios are the same). I still have it on my to-do list to crawl under and take a picture of the plates on the axles.
Hey, on our truck there are at least 4 of those fittings beneath the rubber cap installed. Have read they are air system test ports. I see online there is an air hose with a fitting on the end with "wings" that allows you to screw it on without tools. The wing bit is what I will order, but I...
For us, due to the difference in axle weight we are now running lower pressure in the front. So something with a gauge and adjustment would be nice. Also looking into the "auto inflators". Set the desired. Pressure and walk away. Not too expensive and seems like a happy medium.
Hey @Geo.Lander (Dimitri), thanks for the picture. It triggered a memory from a couple of years ago that we had the exact same air outlet in the same position on our firebox. Now thinking about it the source for that outlet is now the one I have plumbed to our DC onboard air tank. So, for ours...
The entire top tube will be pressurized (it is one piece from front mount pad up and around the top to the other front pad). There is a threaded bung behind the driver's side lower mount, so hidden when bolted on. We will weld on another threaded bung at the top. There will be a short 3/8" hose...
The air solenoid is at the base of the horn. Now I just need to get the wiring up to it and decide on the dash switch. I really would like some Mercedes switches and dash plates to fit them, just not sure I want to wait that long to order them from Europe.
.125, it was 6061 but bent easily once annealed. Pretty much complete now, need to weld on 6 mounts for the light bars (2 per bar), 1 weld in bung for the air exit (utilized the main tube as the air line for the horn) and make a mount for the air horn. Hopefully will finish in the morning and...
