That's the Steinbeck washer from "Travels with Charley." He had a custom made GMC camper and travelled the US in 1960. I highly recommend it, but keep in mind the time it was written, it's not PC by today's standards. A good book to keep in any Vanagon camper. (Vanagon content.)

On self-powered stuff like the hamster wheel ice cream: We do laundry in our 'automatic" washer, a sheet rock joint compound bucket, when traveling...Just toss your dirty clothes into one of those small buckets with a snap on lid and add some water and cold water soap..Drive on...When you get to camp, rinse em and hang em out to dry...clean as a whistle...especially if you are traveling somewhere like Baja or some of our western back roads....Looks good, too, like real hippy stuff...
