Cleaning a T T while storing it at a storage shelter.

[Ruthless]

If you store your Travel Trailer at a storage shelter, how do you clean it; and what do you use to clean it?

[coolbreeze01]

Some allow cleaning, some don't. Why be a jerk?

I've washed my trailer in the campground in the middle of the night when everyone was sleeping and no one around to see me.

I've washed mine at an campground before. It was very early in the season and no one else was around. I don't know if I would do it again though.

It is very rare the our TT ever gets to our home. When on the road, we try to find a truck wash. The kind where you drive in, put a bunch of quarters in the machine and wash it yourself.

Waterless will scratch the surface of your gelcoat with the dirt that is on it. Stay away from that stuff.

They do make waterless cleaning products. I'm not sure how well they work, but I've seen others use them at campgrounds.

Clean it before you store it. Through a tarp over it. You shouldn't have to touch it again until Spring. Then wash it and give it a wax job.

Used to do that with my 17' hybrid. Then I got the 30'+ trailer in my signature and it does not fit my driveway or col-de-sac. Now I have a dilemma. My storage lot does not have a trailer washing facility (or just a pipe for use) so I have to take it somewhere to have it washed. PITA.

Once when I had the hybrid I took it to a truck wash and they did an excellent job, although I was nervous the whole time since they use power washers. I cautioned them to stand off at a distance and only use the wand setting which they did and all was fine. They also washed down the roof. Cost me about $30. I would use them again - I may well have to.

Every storage place I've used has a water faucet and area for washing. My current even has a dump station right next to the faucet.

Call your storage facility. Some have wash areas with hoses and pressure washers.
