LAVARIO is non-electric, portable, easy to use, and proudly manufactured in the USA. Lavario can be used in an RV bathroom, apartment bathroom, or outdoors, anywhere convenient to drain water.
NOTE: After 4 months exploring the South West, during the COVID pandemic we have a few tips: (JUL 2021)
-
The Lavario requires lots of water which was not as available when boondocking in the desert states.
-
Stopping at laundromats turned out to be necessary so we masked up and used a laundromat if there were no crowds.
-
We still used the spin dryer to accelerate air drying - when we had electrical hookups and time to air-dry the wash.
