Washing your RV

Ever hear of "Waterless Wash"? I see people using this and then daily dusting them off with a feather duster like my wife uses in the house.

Our 40 footer has been trashed in the last two weeks. We washed in from the West into Texas now and the grime was amazing. Two inches of standing water out of our rv entrance at one time.

I use about three buckets of warm water and soft brushes to rinse off the MH from eye level to the bottom. I can get it looking decent in about 30 minutes. When possible and it needs it I do a touch up wax and twice a year a full wax job with a great buffer.

When I do the bucket wash it is early in the AM or just before dark.

A minimum of every 2 weeks when traveling I find a CG that either allows washing and/or has a site set aside for washing RV's.

Every week I go to truck stops that have a wash building. There are plenty of these and almost always have a huge billboard on the highway denoting they have wash bays.

I've yet to find a CG that has a problem with waxing the coach on your site. So I wax it every week also.

When we are on trips I too marvel at how clean and shiny the coaches are that are sitting there. I pull in all dirty from the many days of travel looking like a bum.

I think a lot of them haven't traveled as much and tend to stay in one place. We only stay a day or two and head out to new places.

And, of course, it always rains the first or second day of a long trip and dirties up my clean rig.
Sometimes I think I could end a drought.

When we stop I did spend a good bit of time carefully washing and drying, even turning the coach arund so i would be washing the shady side.Then the Towed. Using the guaranteed not to streak sopa really helps unless the water is loaded with rust etc but AI always use a good efficient filter.

Yes, we must keep up appearances. LOL I think the butler sleeps below in the basement. Our friends got some spray on option when purchasing their new class A. It always looks clean and shiny.

If we are traveling every day, my routine is when we stop for the night and get set up, the wife starts dinner and I get the step ladder out and wash the front end with just a bucket of water and a sponge and towel it dry. No hose needed. This gets rid of the bugs for the next day's travel. If the RV park has a place and allows washing of RV's, I might just take them up on it. During the rest of the year my MH gets driven from storage and washed every thirty days. Stays pretty clean that way. Takes about 1 1/2 hours for me.

I noticed the same thing. I think they have a butler who does it every morning before the sun comes up.
