Washed the Montana yesterday and instead of using a car wash product, I gave Murrhy's Oil Soap a go at the exterior. I've been using Murrhy for years, around the house and even my car's interiors.

So I diluted following the instructions, quarter cup of Murrhy to one gallon of water. It worked really well, bug guts came off the front cap with a little scrubbing and black streaks came off or were greatly diminished. After washing I did hose down the sides, the instructions differ.

When it dried, it looked as if I just finished waxing it.

Solute to the OP.

When you use it on your roof how much do you dilute it?

Been using it on my TPO roof for years. Never thought of using it as an rv wash?

The instructions for my roof said to use Murphy's Oil Soap.
I do it twice a year.

What dilution rate are you using for the rubber roof?


Trying to remember, as it was about 2 years ago. I think I used a 50/50 ratio,
Murphys/ H20, with a very soft scrub brush. Haven't had to do it since. Now just water cleans it really well.
The Murphys did a great job getting years of grime off from the previous owners, whom I don't believe, ever cleaned it.

Just beware it is to be diluted when using it on anything.

I personally don't know one way or another if it is safe for RV's and the gel coat though.

We must be willing to get rid of the life we've planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Are you washing the gel coat with the Murphy's?

Yes ,It made the gel coat really shine and left the windows nice and clean. The water was beading off.
