Cleaning RV at Parks?

How do you clean your motor home after a day or so on the road. I typically wash mine before leaving on a trip, but after a day or two on the road, it gets dusty and dirty. Most parks won't let you wash them, so what do you do to clean it. I'm a little concerned about just wiping it off and scratching it. Any suggestions?? Thanks

I use the Blue Coral wash/wax and a long telescopic brush and bucket. I carry a 50' hose and my water tank holds more than enough water to wash the coach.
If the coach is dirty and I see a place where I can pull off, I wash the coach.
I wash and the DW follows behind and rinses.
The next time I pull in to an RV park, I top off my fresh water tank again.

The RV parks that don't allow washing sometimes will allow a 'RV wash' company to come in. So, that's what we do, if I want a clean RV, I will hire one of these companies to give us a wash.

Some parks do allow washing which is what I did yesterday. It takes me pretty much exactly 2.5 hrs. to wash and dry the motorhome. I find it good exercise and would always rather do it myself.

I know the day is coming that I won't be able to do it. The day has arrived that I don't want to get on the roof. Our current motorhome is about 5 inches taller than our previous Dynasty and we don't have a ladder attached to this coach. It gives me the eebbie-jeebbies to step down to a ladder that doesn't go up over the roof line.
