Just use clean hot water, will do a great job cleaning, and not leave a residue on the carpet to attract dirt.

since we have pets we own a carpet cleaner which we use in the stick house.

I just lug it out and do the camper carpets after a winter's worth of neglect except for vacuuming.

Anyone can spray water. The magic is the vacuum created to suck up the water. This is why commercial units are better than small residential units. I have a Mean Green commercial unit I bought for home use. Our home carpets are nearly dry when I'm done. For RV use only I'd rent one.

We have a little green machine that is in the trailer all the time. Does a great job although you need to be on your hands and knees to use it takes maybe 20 minutes to do everything. It is also great for spot cleaning when necessary.

We use carpet cleaner and then the system on "Dry" Mode to pull the leftover water out.

We cleaned the carpet in our TT using our Hoover carpet cleaner machine and it worked great for 10 years. And, applying Scotchguard afterwards is a good idea.

REntal machine from grocery store or Lowe's. Get the hand tool - you will need it a lot.

We have done this while traveling. Clean the floor, set AC on max, and have a long dinner out.

We use Resolve. You shake it on, brush it in, let set, then vacuum. Does a great job if the carpets are not "too far gone". The Resolve spray on works good for spot cleaning. If really bad I would use an extraction steam type cleaner.
