cleaning/keeping dry power awning
Hey guys, I have a question on cleaning and then keeping dry power awning. I have read on this site to use a bleach solution to clean awning. I was wondering if bleach is to harsh a chemical to use on...

I pressure wash my whole trailer including the roof and awning monthly after each trip. I'm a bit OCD like a classic car guy polishing his ride every Saturday.
I simply soap up the top of the awning with the pressue washer. You could also use a soapy (car wash soap) mop with an extension handle. While it's soapy roll it up for 20 min. This will loosen the top and underside dirt. Unroll and rinse. I leave the awning open for half the day for it to dry completely before I roll it back up.
Again I simply pressure wash the top and bottom with only water monthly so it looks good as new. 303 Aerospace or any other UV Protectant will work to keep it nice and it helps to keep the mold off. Most people are not as anal retentive as I am. This is my second trailer. I've never had one speck of mold. You shouldn't as long as you roll it up perfectly dry. If I drive in rain or leave early while there is dew i'll unroll it to insure it dries out.
