Need great idea for washing my Cougar roof
I had an Alfa RV for many years until it pretty much fell apart, then got a cheap Cougar fifth wheel. The Alfa had a flat roof that made it easy to clean. The Cougar curves down in the front. I liv...

Although my Outback has a roof that can be walked on, and it's arched from side-to-side, and one "could" stand on it with no problem, I don't. I wash mine from a ladder - always. My previous 2 campers I got on the roof, but the older I'm getting the more cautious I am getting. I use a painter's pole (collapsible) with a soft fluffy RV brush attached. It works just fine doing this from a ladder. I have a 10 foot step ladder and it's tall enough I can get to the top of the camper and still have good stability under my foot. Now, I paid over a hundred dollars for that ladder, but I also bought it when I remodeled our family room with 14 foot cathedral ceilings. So I do use it for other things beside the trailer. It also makes getting on top of my house easier than a conventional straight ladder.
Please do not attempt to climb on top of the roof of your camper. It's not worth it. Stay on a good ladder ... and if you do have to buy a ladder, don't get a cheap-o ladder. Get something that is sturdy and will support you with no problems when you are closer to the top. Yes, it's a pain in the neck having to move it ever few feet, but a pain in the neck is by by far much better than a broken neck if you fall!
Good luck! And please be careful.
