pressure washer

I have a Karcher that has an adjustable nozzle that I use all the time. Low pressure is less than a garden hose nozzle, high pressure about 1200 lbs. Just adjust depending on what I am washing.

The good thing about pressure washers is you can turn the throttle down and have a good stream of water. You don't have to use them at high pressure all the time.
They will cause damage if you are not careful. They can even damage wood like on fences and decks if you get too close.
I bought a Briggs & Stratton concrete cleaner at Lowes for $69. that does a great job with a pressure washer. I had trouble a couple times with the tips stopping up but it worked great after I cleaned them.

Go to a Good Sam Rally and hire the guys that wash motor homes. See what they use, a pressure washer. I've washed mine several times with a pressure washer but more often use a brush.

I use it at home, but never on the MH. It can blast through rubber gaskets, peel back anything 'stuck' on the sides, put water where you don't want it and more. You can use it...just be very careful.

I have used a pressure washer on all of our MH's. In fact our current MH has a pressure washer built in - just for washing the MH.

I used it once on my roof. The problem is that the amount of cleaning of any surface with a pressure washer depends on how far away from the surface the nozzle is. It's very difficult to keep that distance constant therefore there will be areas that are more clean than others. Since you don't want to damage the roof you must keep the nozzle a good 12 inches from the roof.
It does work but probably not as well as Soft Scrub and a brush; but a lot less work.

a garden hose and a brush with a long handle is the best thing to use.

Don't use a pressure washer on dual pane windows, decals or near electric connections.

Thanks for the replies. Doesn't sound like I can use the mh to justify it. Oh well.

Got a driveway, sidewalks, patios, porches, garage floor, eaves, rain gutters, high windows.......I could keep going :B
