They’re available on the bigger rigs. It’s just worth noting that space on any RV/trailer is a tradeoff, and appliances tend to be limited for space and weight.
Yup. I’d probably be tearing out couches to make space for a drawer-type machine or two. The washer-dryer can open to outdoors if needed, and I’ve pretty much figured out how to make that work on one model I’ve looked at.
Yeah, but it’s different in an RV. With a countertop unit, you’d have to either secure it for travel, losing limited counter space in the process, or find somewhere to stow it, and storage in a camper is already at a premium. There’s also the fact that any form of dishwasher operates on 120vac, meaning you can only use it when you’re on shore power or running a genny (whereas a refrigerator can auto switch between propane and 120v). Again, not saying it can’t be done, but there are logistical concerns that mean dishwashers and other large appliances are the first to be forgone.
Mine just stays on the counter. At the spot it’s in, if I had an accident and it tried to go flying, the wall of the retracted slide room would block it. But in 3 years of driving with it, it hasn’t flown off.

Countertop dishwashers are a thing. I found one that fits on the tiny counter I have, and do my chopping and slicing on the kitchen table instead.

Batteries have gotten pretty good too, and you can definitely get inverters.

Ah gotcha, didn’t realize you weren’t talking about an apartment. Power to you for finding a solution!
