In the book, "Travels with Charley", by John Steinbeck, he describes a clothes washing system he used in his pickup-camper, and I think that somebody here may find it works for them and their Westy, too. What John did was get a plastic trash bin, and fill it partway with water, throw in his clothes, and some washing soap. At the end of a day's drive, he found that the constant agitation caused by the movement of the van, had completely washed his clothes. Then he would rinse them out, and hang'em to dry. I guess as long as you weren't hauling 40 litres of water around, and could keep the bin from spilling, it would work for us too. In my minds eye, I can see the consequences of using too much soap, however. On a personal note, it does seem that there is no aspect of life or living that doesn't have a Westie connection somehow, for better or worse.
