As the guy who started this thread, I think I should report back and let
everyone know that I picked up the new Washer and Dryer today from Costco
(decided to forgo the hand-me downs and the camping trip - at least for now)
Of course, had the also get the regular 200lb "load" of Costco goodies;
everything fit like a dream, even with the cardboard boxes for the W/D.
Talk about a versatile machine!  And the amazing thing is, Westies are so
overweight and under powered to begin with, that you don't even notice the
extra weight - its *still* slow!  :-)
