Your RV<\/a><\/strong> can accumulate a surprising amount of gunk over time, which you will want to clean off when you can. Keep reading for a beginner\u2019s guide to cleaning your RV\u2019s exterior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Often to Wash Your RV<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the simplest ways you can maintain your camper is to simply keep it clean. You\u2019ll want to wash it after every major trip, as well as before and after putting it in storage for the winter. This is because dirt and grime buildup can wreak havoc on your rig, whether it\u2019s wearing down parts, creating the perfect environment for bacteria to grow, or simply because it doesn\u2019t look great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get the Right Supplies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you approach washing your RV, you\u2019ll want to make sure you have all the right gear. Only use products that are safe for your rig, which means avoiding products with chlorine or abrasive products. Check your owner\u2019s manual for more specific information, but you\u2019ll probably want to settle on a gentle detergent that won\u2019t harm the exterior of your camper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also make sure you have a soft bristle brush and rags. Some people like to use a power washer on the tough spots, but be careful as the water pressure is high enough to strip paint and finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An RV Cleaning Approach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wash the RV in small patches to avoid dried on soap scum and don\u2019t forget to pre-wash by rinsing the rig before getting started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Start from the top and work your way down (and don\u2019t forget to close your vents, doors, and windows).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll probably also want to apply a coat of wax for extra protection and shine. This probably won\u2019t need to happen as often as the regular wash. And don\u2019t forget to let everything dry completely before putting the RV away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
