How often should I wash my trailer & roof?
Hello all. I just purchased this 2016 Dutchmen Coleman 274BH 3 weeks ago. I'd like to keep it looking like new for years to come. I have it parked under a car port so I know that helps a lot. I've onl...

I swear, forums are awesome. Most of you cracked me up... except the reply with the cracked rooftop. That freaked me out.
I am very anal when it comes to the cleanliness of my cars. I wash them every 2 weeks religiously. Hence why the question came about. I do have the trailer parked under a carport but there's about 2ft of rooftop hanging from the back & the front.
I bought the camper 3 weeks ago, took it to my mom's house (2 hours away) that same week, used it that weekend then brought it back home. We have no plans on using it until June.
I bought a nice long brush that I guess I will have to use to be able to wash the roof. After seeing the link to the cracked rooftop post, I refuse to get up there. It does look like it'll be ridiculous work since I will have to get up the ladder, scrub, get down, move the ladder, get up the ladder, scrub, get down, move the ladder, get up the ladder, scrub, get down, etc... Now I know why these roofs don't get washed as often. I'll probably wash it every 60-90 days together with the rest of the camper. This morning I just ordered two 10x20 tarps to place on each side of my canopy for added protection from the elements & also added pool noodles to the canopy legs in the event they brush up against the side of the camper. I'd like to keep it lookin' gorgeous.
Thanks everyone.
