Washing Your Bago. Frequency?

[cvodave]

where do you all wash your RV’s and how often. Thanks

[bigb]

At home about twice per year, although mine is stored indoors which helps a lot.

When it’s dirty. At home. I bought a water deionizer (https://crspotless.com/shop-now/spotless-water-systems/) to wash without having to dry it after. And an electric power washer. Works great but still a lot of work.

Thank you. I store mine in a covered lot not as good as being indoors.

Thank you Camping world wants 800.00 for a basic wash I don’t think so!

You'll find most RVers that have been around for awhile stay away from Camping World for everything except maybe some of their in store items.

I've heard good things about Blue Beacon truck washes. Nowhere near $800 or even $100. I haven't ever used them personally though.

Ive heard of them too but haven’t used them. CW is the only place close to be for service and the like but I have an extended warrantee with them so IM ok so far but I get what you say. They will tell you anything to sell you an RV. I will probably go to a car wash and do it myself.

If they told me $800 to wash it I would have said "No, I just want it washed, not re-painted"

[cvodave]

true that

I usually wash before a long trip which currently averages 3 times a year. Full body detailing once every couple of years. I do the roof once a year. I have indoor storage, that is temporarily unavailable. It does go a long way towards keeping it clean. I would ask around for mobile detailing services.

I clean mine with "Wash-Wax-All" as needed. Spray on, wipe off; fantastic stuff. I originally purchased the kit with the wonderful extension pole and microfiber attachments, bug scrubber, window pad, etc. Well worth the investment. Now I just buy gallon refills to fill up the spray bottle. The spray bottle that comes with it will do two times cleaning and it is a small bottle. My 1 quart bottle will clean several times.

Then, once a year when we get back from our Summer trip I have eXtreme Clean come to the house for $350 and the wash (including roof) and hand wax the entire 43 foot MH.

I have some of that dry car wash stuff and I tried it when the rig was not very dirty and it worked fine, but I'm afraid if the rig was really dirty and grimy it might scratch it.

I agree and if it is muddy I rinse it off or use a soft brush then follow up with the Wash-Wax-All to remove all the water marks and steaks. I've probably had to do that 3 or 4 times in the last 9 years. Most of the time it is light road dust.

I enjoy a ride through rain as it is the Lord's free wash, then just follow up with the Wash-Wax-All.

The Eagle5 gets washed after every trip. I wash it in the driveway. I use a soft brush, a wash mitt, and Meguiar's gold class car wash. I always rinse-out the undercarriage as well as possible too.

[Wayne M]

Yes, after every trip but one of my trips is 3 months at a Northern campground and it gets a wipe down once or twice depending on dust. I'd like to do it more frequently but at my age I'll just do it when she starts to get dusty.
