Got home from work last night and decided to pull the TH around to the driveway, so we could start loading for the Christmas trip. Front cap looked pretty grungy, so thought I would just give it a quick wash. As long as I was at it the LP bottle cover needed a good scrubbin', too.
Once that was done, the rest of the trailer looked pretty bad. Figured I could just do the door side - after all, that's the only side anyone will see, once we're set up. Got that side done, and what the heck, still got soap in the bucket - the rear ramp and facia won't take long.
Fortunately, about this time the GF returned from the store with some cold Silver Bullets, so I had to take a break. After replenishing the electrolytes in my system, I had the energy to go ahead and do the off-door side.
So, about 2 & a half hours and 4 beers after starting - the whole thing was washed and ready to start loading.
The rain didn't start for a good 10 minutes.
Oh well, it's clean . . . and rainwater rinsed!
