    [QUOTE=TerryH;390734]I love our 31g but man does it get nasty on our boondocking trips. Plus pulling it in the rain last time didn't help. Long way around the truck and trailer with the foam cannon and the scrub brush. Especially on a 95° degree day. Worth it in the end but sure is a job. Throw in the muddy Talon and it's just about an all day adventure. Who else washes their own?


    Looks Great! We just finished up a 9 day boondocking/quading trip and travelled the 900 miles back home arriving yesterday. Now I find myself drinking coffee looking a the threads trying to get up enough courage to finish the unloading and start the cleaning.

    Is it safe to use a pressure on the RV. I thought someone told me it was not good for it, I would really like to use a pressure washer if it is safe.

    I have used them on mine before, making sure to use the green "non jet" nozzle and staying back a bit so as not to have the wand and nozzle right against the trailer surface.

    Just be smart with it. If you hold it right against seals or decals you will be disappointed.

    "Who else washes their own?"? I must live under a rock, I didn't know there was another option.

    I'd use some place like Blue Beacon if there was such anywhere close. They wash a toyhauler my size for $29.30. I'd be their best customer if their was one here. Past that, it's me, the foam cannon, long brush and the pressure washer in the driveway.

    That's good to know. I just looked it up and see them all over the place but none by our home location. But we'll be heading south this winter so I see a number of options on our travels. Yay!

    An easy way to get the bugs off in a "no wash park" - we keep an old king size flat sheet for cleaning bug juice. Wet it thoroughly and lay it across the area you want to clean for about 20 minutes. That softens everything up. Then just wipe it down. We do the same with motorcycle fairings. It works great.

    That would NOT work well after driving through Florida Love Bugs. The Love Bug season is just starting again this week.

    We normally wash our own, have had it done twice. Just be careful with the pressure washing as said earlier. I wax my cap twice per year and the trailer once per year. all is good and yep, like leaving with a clean unit. keeping it clean is easier to do if you keep it that way.
