Detailing an older motorhome

[Tom_in_Tulsa]

We have our 2002 Monaco LaPalma coach now. It is dirty and i need to clean it and wash it.
Wash solution? Wax? Electric brush? Manual brush.?

I have seen the You Tube videos and most of them are ads for their own product.
Do I need a power washer?

What say you real life people?

one thing I agree on with the above, stay away from high pressure truck washes. I've never used dawn on the TT I have abut I would imagine you may have to re wax it after you use it. a cousin of mine who has a MH and has a macerater says to use rv toilet paper as the regular paper jams the pump. since I don't have either I just use regular tp. black tanks are storage tanks not septic tanks so that is why I use reg tp.

I have a 2004 LaPalma. For the past 13 years I have hand washed it with a long handled brush and Dawn dish soap.

I wash and scrub the roof with a strong mix of Dawn about twice a year.

I went through a truck wash that used high power sprayers and my refrigerator quit working for a day or two. Never again.

I'm going to get beat up on using Dawn so while I'm at it I'll throw in the fact that I use regular toilet paper too. No RV toilet paper. Two toilets and nary a problem over the years.

Oh I forgot to mention I don't use a water filter either. Nor a surge suppressor!!!

I'm hiding under the table now, gonna get mean in here soon.

Buy a pound of elbow grease and get to it! Mild dishwashing soap too.
