clean motorhome with pressure washer
My neighbor was out cleaning his class A with a pressure washer yesterday and I got to wondering if that was a good idea or not. It was gas driven. What are your thoughts on this?

I own a 2200 psi gasoline powered pressure washer but don't use it to wash cars, used mainly on decking, brick & concrete around the house.
I do use those pressure washers at the do-it-yourself car wash places. The spray "fan" is much wider than my home one, safe to use with common sense.
I have washed our motor homes on trips in truck sized versions. Sometimes bug build-up will stink. Other times dust and dirt build-up is excessive. Brushing up against the rig with a clean "T" shirt will get me thinking about it. Once we did an early spring trip with our first rig which started out with road salt spray. Those truck sized do-it-yourself wash bays are great for a quick no-fuss get-the-worst-off cleaning.
The strongest of pressure washers won't do as good of a job for flat surfaces like a soapy warm water brush, followed by a good rinsing. But they are great at cleaning crevices and other irregular surfaces like engines and such.
