    Make sure to have the washer in a warmer area during the winter otherwise the pump will freeze and crack.

    That place looks SO peaceful. I would take living there any day to the city!

    just a tip you can get a small camper washer spinner and it uses way less water and power and spins nearly dry, a lot of vanlife and Rvers, Busfolk use them off grid but it's smaller loads, then you could just use a rare large load, since it's less work to do the small washes, andless traveling to get water, also you can buy a hose closer thing that screws on the hose when not in use to keep the debris out

    How do you drain your washer so it won't freeze

    Thank you SO much for this video. I searched YT for hours last night to see if it is possible to pump water from my rain barrels to my washer and couldn't find one. Now I know it is because of your video. And FYI my 20 year old front load washer uses a fraction of the water that a top load washer uses. And the clothes come out much cleaner

    How much water is needed to run 1 cycle? Thank you for being you 💜

    • @preparedliving

      I could usually get 3 regular cycle loads from a 55 gallon drum. The washer I had was older and not a newer efficient one so it could vary depending on that feature.

      @preparedliving thank you visualizing prepping how to run a washer dryer combo unit. So far it seems like it will be less. Gonna test it running on a solar Generator today while on grid first. All steps in the right direction. Glad I came across the channel. 🙏

    We've just moved off grid, our next project is getting our house 240v washing machine working using a silent generator. What water pump are you using? Thanks

      I will have to do a video and show you. I will get that up very soon. I can't remember off the top of my head. We are getting ready to set everything back up 😁

    Cant you drain the
    Water out of the pump after the cycle is done,, by taking the hose off and drain it so it wont freeze.

    • @preparedliving

      Mine didn't freeze, I left the hose in the drain position running outside of the tent but I also ran a small dryer on the generator and it helped with that.

      And ordered one with a pressure switch. Thank you

      We were just talking about that but I wasn't sure when it was going into effect ☺️
