I also don't have a clue how the laundry scene works (especially due to living life with the minimum in the closet) ... I don't see many RVs at the laundromat...

just curious, Trips ... nice to see you making progress to engaging this final chapter!!!

Cleaning. I'm a lot older than you are, and my wife was sick for many years. I have paid for house cleaning for as many years as I can recall. No reason to stop now. It will just be a little more difficult to coordinate time and location, but I'm not moving the RV fast at all. Probably staying in one spot a month or more at a time.

Laundry. Simple. I plan to boondock a lot, but will stay at a campground once a week to use their laundry, or stop in some town at a laundromat. I will only carry enough clothes for about 10 days, and I usually wear most things for 2 days, unless I get sweaty or dusty.

I plan for Saturday or Sunday to be my laundry day. Those are heavy duty days for tourists, so should be light at the laundromat, especially in places I'm going to visit.

My sister and I used to go out for 2 weeks at a time in her Class A, and then later in her Class B campervan, and we used the laundromat once a week.
