does anyone have an easy way to get bugs off the front of your camper? I scrub them off with a brush and water and they are tough to remove. I try to get them off as soon as we return from a camping trip. The longer you let them set the harder they are to remove. Any help would be appreciated. thanks

What I have used is dryer sheets with warm water and it works pretty good, or on long trips I will spray with PAM so they wipe off easy and the end of the trip.Hope that helps.

If you're heading out for a massive trip (like our 9000+ mile drive to Alaska and back) - you can always buy some Transit Shield and cover the bug-prone areas.Transit Shield is like heavy, adhesive-backed saran wrap. It's what they cover new cars with on the car hauler trailers. It's impossible to put on smoothly, IMO - I sure couldn't get it on so it was completely smooth. But I didn't care - at the end of the journey, I pulled it off and about 90 lbs of bug guts went with it :-)

We remove bugs from our front cap at every campground stop. We use a small bucket (less than a gallon) and our RV brush. We always ask permission and have never been denied. We never get out the hose to do this. Prompt removal is essential for easy bug removal. We also use Rejex on the front cap and that also helps.

Put Rejex on the front of the RV, bugs will wash off with a hose.Used on private planes all the time.
