It's funny you should post this. I have been watching M*A*S*H lately on Hallmark and TVLand, and have been wondering how they did laundry in MASH units. I thought it would be to silly of a question to post on here so I haven't until now.

Those come up at surplus auctions quite often

Most sell for less than 200.00 Almost all the time they have never been used. I rememember at least 6 or them I have got notice of in the last 2 years and none had ever been used. some have a larger washer. Some have 2 washers with the extractor in the middle. Some are propane too. There have been some that are two trailers.. the washers on one and 2 or 3 dryers on the other. I think the unit on ebay sold about 3 mons. ago on Goverment Surplus Auctions for 100.00 I have seen them sell for as little as 25.oo Many of them are 480 or 550 V however

Two hundred for a set that probably cost the government thousands. Someone is doing alright for themselves.

Ohh

I want one of those set ups! Think how we could travel around the country and do laundry and spread Automatic Laundry Doctrine to the masses.

Would this be called

"the dirty side of war"?
