Washing the Roof

Nice job. Next time you might add a bit of bleach to the wash bucket and it may take less time to get it all white. I noticed you have the Batwing antenna. You might consider getting the Wingman add-on as it improves reception.

Nice work! What did you use for soap? I did mine a couple of weeks ago and had less impressive results. I realize ours are made of different materials (mine's aluminum, I assume yours is fiberglass?) but I used regular car was soap and a brush and it was less effective. Some spots came up really nice while others didn't. Forgive the blurry pic - I had to take it through the screen in my family room - the only place I can see the RV roof without climbing up on it!

I'll look in to the Wingman.

To be honest, we don't watch that much TV. I can't even remember the last time it was extended for use. Wife watches DVDs, I watch campfires. I do know that the bedroom TV has never been turned on, thinking of what else the space may be useful for.

But there may be a day that we will need it and better to be prepared than not.

Nice Air Horns! Have been thinking about accessorizing with them.

I used a full bottle - 32 fl oz of Camco Rubber Roof Cleaner and Conditioner into about a half bucket of water. May have been overkill and it is a fiberglass roof so am hoping for no unintended negative side effects. $10.99 at the local Truck/RV sales & service center.

Next is the WashWax.com ~ $189 on amazing Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Aircraft-Boat-Car-Waterless-Wash/dp/B006AFAWYI

Then get a good tire conditioner.

Wow! What a difference Robert! That is a beautiful roof for solar - lots and lots of unused space!! :-)

I was going to post a comment on your site but it only allows that with a Wordpress login.

Thanks. Those are the standard-issue Allegro electric horns. They don't work and I haven't investigated. I suspect it's because the previous owner installed real air horns behind the grill.
