Pull it in the drive way usually at 2pm on Sunday after a trip. Open the awning and slide. Pressure wash the roof then the top of the awning (roof gets rubber roof treatment every 3 months as well as leak inspection and lap sealant touch up on any crack). Then soap up all sides of the TT and pressure wash. Then pressure wash the underside of the awning. Dry the TT. 303 Aerospace the decals. 303 Aerospace the whole trailer every 3rd wash. Armorall the tires.
By now the DW has gutted the inside removing everything that comes out, sheets, towels, toiletries, cloths, food etc. Then I wipe down everything with a warm wet rag with Fantastic, tables, sink, stove, micro, detail the restroom. Then vacuum the floor including edges with the hose. Once that's done I mop the floor by hand. I let it air out and let the awning fully dry. The next day Monday after work the cover goes back on. We camp every 3 to 4 weeks so needless to say my TT is emasculate and at 2 years old looks as good as the day we brought it home. This ritual takes 3 to 4 hours depending if the tank needs to be dumped. (I can dump at home with a flo jet) I'm usually relaxing by 6pm. I'm pretty OCD and got the process down. With beers and good tunes it's actually somewhat enjoyable. Anyway that's what I do.
Packing before a trip is done little by little in the days prior to a trip. It's a pain cause I have to unzip and undo a few straps on the cover. But the cover is worth the hassle cause my tt stays clean non faded and shiny.
