Washing the camper

[skater]

Anyone else do this?

I have to admit, I've only done it a couple times, because it's a LOT of hard work. This time, I got a brush that extends and connects to the garden hose. There's a reservoir for car wash liquid at the brush, and a selector knob to choose between rinse and soap. It cost about $20 at Target.

It's still pretty difficult to do, but it's nice to be able to scrub some of the ground-in dirt off the fiberglass. The brush is okay - I had a couple problems with the hose loosening (there's no swivel to let the hose spin around, so as you're moving around it'll tend to loosen the connection to the garden hose) and the knob popping out when I didn't put it back in correctly, but the results are definitely better than I'd gotten from other solutions (for example, the Mr. Clean Car Wash set).

The camper definitely looks better... guess the trouble was worth it.

Too funny-- Just got finished washing our van. It was a mess from our 2 week vacation (and 2800 miles). I also use an extending brush, but do not have the one with the soap dispenser. I just use a bucket of hot water and soap for the brush, then hose it down. The worst of it is the front, covered with bug parts-- that usually takes a couple of tries with the brush. The back of the van gets the most dirt otherwise, especially if you have traveled on dirt roads.

Now--on to the inside!
