Title: Camp Clothes Washing Device
Post by: torsion on July 21, 2014, 11:41:36 PM: Ok, Ive searched and searched on this forum, can't find it.
I recall reading a product (aussie made) - 20 litre bucket with lid and a metal head plunger.
The plunger was alloy or steel with a head shaped as an X.

Anyone tell me the name of it or the company.

Thanks.

Place water clothes and detergent in drum

Put in car

Yogi and renno did mine in on the cape trip, but up until then used it for a few years.
