Buster 747,
Well Sir, first off, what I'd do is get up on that roof and analyze it thoroughly. If you wipe your hands across any section, do you get a white "chalk" on your hands? If so, your roof, like all rubber roofs, is slowly deteriorating. Now, it's not going to disintegrate in the next ten minutes but, they all slowly do it. And, a good washing, more than once or twice a year is needed to keep the dust/road debris/accumulation of salts/acid rain etc. from doing more damage and collecting than needed.
And you don't have to use any "SPECIAL" soap. Any dish washing soap will work or, car wash soap. Those rubber roofs are way stronger than many think, in terms of being effected by something as little as soap. They don't like tree branches and strong physical damage but, any soap and a good brush will work just fine.
Now, as far as your steaks, again, you may have to wash more often to rid yourself of "aging" of the roof. Obviously the more accumulation of dust/chalk etc. up on the roof, the more it runs off and lands on the sides of the coach.
