Wife's latest acquisition for the van
Permalink  

Latest purchase for the van refit...
 
Wife found us a dinky little Companion Twin Tube Washer on Gumtree (Cairns), Paid $50 and in almost new condition, arrived today via wifes sister and B-In-Law who were visiting from Cairns for the Easter Break....
 
Tested today and looks like it is going to do the job just nicely.
 
Very happy with the purchase as the new ones are quite a bit more expensive...
 
Any issues we should know about or comments good & bad????
 
Happy to hear from you all.....

I have one the same - it's great. Just remember the water leaves the tub and spinner by gravity - is not pump driven so helps to have it on a small platform so it drains easily

 Thanks for the advice, we have a little travel table that will fit the bill nicely

While staying at the very small Goroke Community Caravan Park VIC we saw one of these in the small wash house. The person that collects fees said that it had been left behind unwanted by someone who had camped there & we were welcome to use it if we wanted to. We used it & it worked perfectly. A great piece of equipment.

We have one of these, which we did not sell with the last.

Worked great for us, but our new van has a machine alreadhy installed.

Must get of my rear end and place it on gumtree...cost $125... will sell for $50.

However we are on the road at present and will not be back home until 1st August.

PM me if interested.
