We've never had an issue finding a campground that doesn't mind. Not every campground but enough that it's not an issue.
Also, it's common to see a large vehicle bay at car washes. I'm sure you could use that for under $10...that said, I'm not crazy about pressure washers on RVs. It's too easy to blast out caulk.
Interesting. So, you don't rinse off what you wash? What do you use for soap? I use an RV wash & wax that states you don't have to dry it after washing, but you still have to rinse it.
As best you can, keep the pressure washer nozzle a couple feet from the surface. That will reduce the pressure.
Also, try to avoid directly hitting openings, switches or anything sensitive. Also try to avoid shooting upward as much as possible as some windows and siding rely on water flowing top down to keep the interior dry.
