We have the Karcher, from Costco 10 years ago, 2400-psi at 2.5-gpm, 5-hp horizontal shaft Honda. It does a good job, but replacing it I'd try to go 30-30(3000-psi at 3.0-gpm). Pressure washers are more than the Tool-Time-More-Power thing. More powerful ones are simply better. I helped a neighbor maintain two pressure washers for a house painter buddy. We'd get one fixed and give it a thorough checkout. Power washed every surface on two houses and two hours. One was a real beast. Twin Cylinder V-Twin B&S turning a 4-piston pump. I think it was 40-40. That said, you can remove paint you wanted to keep, tear the grain out of wood you wanted smooth and even worse cut a track across the top of a wet bare foot.
Extreme care required using a power washer on an RV. It'll peel the caulk and decals off, just for a start. When I use ours on our RV it's more of a sweeping process than a scrubbing one.
