Another thing I love about our 24' C

Just returned from a 4 day - 3 night trip up to the Mogollon Rim in the White Mountains to beat the recently arrived summer heat of Tucson in June. After sitting for a couple of weeks since our last trip the coach had more than a fair amount of dust, such is life in the high Sonoran Desert.

We enjoyed the record shattering early Monsoon rain courtesy of the first two early eastern Pacific hurricanes, not a lot of rain but anything falling in June is one for the books. Yep, the rain was nice and just enough to really dirty up the rig but not quite enough to rinse it clean.

This morning I drove 8 miles down the road toward Tucson and sure enough the local high school kids were holding another of their Saturday morning fund raiser car washes. Things were slow when I pulled in at 9:00 and they happily agreed to wash the coach for $15. I pulled out the 3 step stool and my telescoping soft brush to make their job a little easier.

The girls basketball team (several of whom had a lot more reach than I), descended on our 24' Nexus Phantom and in 15 minutes had it shining like new. I make a habit out of supporting the high school kids whenever the rig gets dirty (which gets me out of washing it), a win, win for all. I'm not so sure they would want to tackle a Class A or fiver but they enthusiastically made quick work of our 24 footer.

BTW, was that Mogollon Rim trip on paved, or dirt, roads?

That's a great idea and keeping a telescoping brush on hand makes sure they can get your entire rig. ๐Ÿ™‚
