5 Reasons the Splendide® WDV2200XCD is the Best Washer-Dryer Combo for RV Travelers
Blog Post:
For RVers who live on the road full-time or seasonally, laundry can be a challenge—unless you're equipped with the right appliance. The Splendide® WDV2200XCD vented washer-dryer combo is purpose-built for RV living, offering real wash/dry capability in a compact footprint.
Here are five reasons RV owners consistently choose the WDV2200XCD—and why it might be the right fit for your rig.
🔧 1. Built Specifically for Mobile Environments
Unlike residential combos adapted for RVs, the WDV2200XCD was engineered from the ground up for mobile installations. It features:
-
Heavy-duty shock absorbers
-
Load-balancing control system
-
Specialized RV/marine water pump
-
Low water usage (~8-13 gallons per cycle)
That makes it ideal for off-grid setups or boondocking, where every drop of water counts.

🌬️ 2. Real Vented Drying Power
Many RV washer-dryer combos use ventless drying, which takes longer and adds humidity inside your rig. The WDV2200XCD uses a vented drying system, just like a home dryer. This offers:
-
Faster drying times
-
Lower internal humidity
-
Better lint management
If you have a vent cutout in your RV or plan to install one, this model gives far better performance.

-
Automatic detergent, bleach, and softener dispensers
-
One-button wash-and-dry cycles
-
End-of-cycle chime (with optional mute)
It also features load-sensing technology that adjusts the water level based on laundry size—ideal when conserving resources.
