Of course there are some places we camp where doing laundry is not an option. Like in the middle of the cow pasture with a the trout stream that runs along then edge.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was going to blame you
The things that come to those that wait will be the crappy junk left by those that got there 1st.

If you are talking about a public laundromat you are using very poor etiquette. I have seen people pull clean laundry from a washer or dryer and toss it on the floor if the owner is gone. No-one has a right to tie up machines that others may want to use. I've been known to pull laundry from a machine and place it in a basket or on a table.

I'll bet if those T-shirts are XXL and have a Hell's Angle's logo or some skull and cross bones, doubtful anyone will mess with them while you tie up a couple of machines for hours.

I don't do that if the laundryroom is busy, just when there's only a couple of us in the cg.

If they have Hell's Angle's logos you'll know they are fake Even if they have Hell's Angel's logos they are still probably fake, I don't think they wash, do they?

Good point! It depends on the Angle of the Angel on the shirt.

Then again, the XXL should be enough of a deterrent.

Ok, back on track. When we do our laundry while traveling we use the small "apartment size" bottles of detergent and bleach. Easier to store in the RV.

There, now I feel better.

There are 4 of us in the family and 2 of them are 7 and 4, so we DO go through lots of clothes when we camp. We are usually doing outdoor, fun, but sometimes rough stuff, so I pack a few good clothes, but mostly stuff that if it's ruined, no big deal.

I purchased a small bottle of detergent, bleach and fabric softener. That stays in the TT all during the camping season. When it gets less than half, I will use my BIG DADDY bottle that is at our house to replenish.

The little bottles have lasted us for 4 years.

When we camp-hosted at a state park for a month, I washed twice a week and still had plenty left in all the bottles. They were full when we started.

In the spring we stock the TT with baggies, soap, paper products, and spices that we use all the camping season.

In the fall these all get brought in and we use from this stock for the S&B for the winter.

Restocking in the spring keeps us using fresh items and nothing goes outdated or gets wasted.

Total cost is the same but convenience is great.
