Washing during drought

You're not going to use or waste that much water washing your RV. If you want to be "green", put a five gallon bucket in your shower and let it fill while you're waiting for hot water. After a few showers it will be full. Use it as your wash water and then rinse with your garden hose sparingly. If you buy one of those spray nozzles with the 24" wand, you can reach higher and rinse downward using less water.

I wash my cars at the drive thru car wash that recycles, but I still wash my coach at home. The rules say you must use a hose with a nozzle that shuts off when released. I felt bad about using water until I drove through the central valley and saw all the farmers and businesses using water like it was free and never ending.

Living with n SoCal we have the same issues. I bought the complete kit. First had it washed at Blue Beacon on way home from trip then have uaed it twice so far to keep it clean. Works very well and can don't the whole 5'er in short order. Would definitely recommend it if you have water restrictions.

So, we recently moved to central california...(military, we had no choice).
We have a 40' toyhauler, and it despretley needs a bath. However, with the current water shortage, and price we pay for our water bill, the trailer isn't getting the bath it needs. So, doing some online searching, I found this....anyone else using it? What are your thoughts? For those other Cali folks, what are you doing to keep your home on wheels clean?

Park near the lake river or beach and use that water..or is it against the law too?

Wait for the "Godzilla" el nino they are talking about ;)

There's a Blue Beacon in Arvin, Lodi, and Corning. They do a super job at a reasonable price.

OR* Portland I-5, Exit 307 At Jubitz 503-283-3270

Take it to a car wash where they recycle the water. Probably some truck washes along I5 also.

Use the water from your tank. Tell the powers that be that it is Oregon water and it is going bad. :W

I've been using a duster on my airstream for several years now. This summer I use it almost daily. Only negative, I wish it had an extension to reach higher on the cap ends.
If needed, use the rinse-less wash, then keep up on the cleaning with the duster.

Around here we think of the dirt as a badge of civic honor or perhaps as an extra layer of insulation.
