Depends on your own ideas on the subject but...A brush will take what dirt and grit is there and use it like sandpaper. If the finish has been cleaned that way already, for years, may not matter to you.
Lot of pre rinsing with low setting of power washer and care not to hit windows and seals. Use one of the new rubber or synthetic finger pads on long pole. You can reach most of the side, or all of it. May require a small step stool/ladder.
Use one of the auto car washes that say no spotting, no drying necessary but it will still need it. us the brush only on windows and windshield and wheels.
Wash it in the shade after a rain, or early morning or late evening.
I can't do it anymore but it took me about to hours+ with wife using the hose and doing a careful job.
Watch who you hire to wash your rig. Two or three references, at least first from some one here or you know.
my 21/2 cents. Your mileage may vary
roof is fiberglass on ours. The fifth wheel was rubber and I prewashed it with car wash soap and soft brush then used rubber rooof cleaner and brush, in the shade. If it is hot surface it won't come clean near as easy if ever.
