Dry washing RV

Sooner or later it will rain. Why worry about a few bugs and dirt. As soon as you get it clean you'll hit the road and have to do it all over again..

I think that might be my only recourse, but when there are bugs and road grime you will need several bucket-changes before the wash is done. If I am doing the bucket thing I might as well do it at my storage facility. So much easier to use the hose to wet down and then to rinse though. :(

I am thinking of getting this water bag for when I decide to start boondocking or camping at sites without water. I could also use that to bring the water to my storage site for washing the RV. :h

A pressure washer under a cardboard box at 4Am works well.

I don't worry about it. I'm out to have a good time not work........

Cleaning your rig with a bucket and sponge does not hurt anybody and, in fact, makes the campground look better. It has never been discouraged or forbidden in my experience. I never hesitate to do if if needed, no matter what campground I'm in. I would also never ask permission to fill a bucket of water!

The Hotrodders on this forum are familiar with " Spray Detailer" .
MeGuiars' , Mother's , and all of the brands have it .
It is what is used at the " Show & Shine " displays in the park .
But these cars are already very clean before they get there .
It is readily available in spray bottles everywhere .
I bought a gallon of it from the MeGuiars' reps when they put on their detail clinic for our car club .
The gallons are not available everywhere but you can possibly find it by going to MeGuiars' website .
You will also need a fleet of microfiber towels from Costco .

You could try something like this.

Or you could step outside with a long handled brush during a rain shower.

Depends on how dirty. If it is just accumulated dust then I use a microfiber floor mop to dust. Any pesky items are removed with a spray bottle of quick detailer. Worse dirt from traveling in the rain I use a sponge mop and bucket of soaped gray water or ask for permission to fill the bucket. The blanket rule in all the cases I have experienced is in place to conserve water.
