Ventilation System Blows Dirt/dust 2002 Ford F450, Winnebago Chalet, How To Clean?

Everyone who owns a truck camper has had the experience of getting out of their truck camper after a long drive, looking at their front end nose, and finding a fresh insect mosaic on their camper nose and forepart wall.  I mean, you knew your rig was a bug out vehicle, but this is ridiculous!

What follows are truck camper cleaning methods that run the gamut from mutual sense, to quite clever, to something that might be compulsive cleaning disorder.  As someone who compulsively cleans, I'm in the third camp.  Yous better wash it buddy!

How to Wash Your Truck Camper Rig:

"I launder the camper after every trip when I render home.  I use the garden hose, a bucket and car wash soap.  I take a medium sized stride ladder so I can reach the roof line.  I have rubber roof wash for the top and some special cleaner for the canopy.  I prefer to remove the camper from the truck as it makes it easer to wash both of them when they are separated.

I avoid using a force per unit area washer as I practice not desire to accident h2o past any of the seals in the camper.  I but moisture the camper downward to become rid of whatsoever loose dirt and then wash information technology by hand using elbow grease and a auto wash mitt made from microfiber.  I endeavor to inspect the camper equally I am washing it.  I'll look at the seals and anything mounted to the camper.

On longer trips, similar the month long trip nosotros took in May to the southwest, I washed it at commercial machine washes.  I was withal careful not to get the nozzle also close to the camper and the seals.  I like to endeavor and keep the rear clean equally I don't like to grab a dirty door and track dirt inside the camper.

I will wax the exterior of the camper once or twice a year.  This makes it easier to wash and protects the terminate from oxidation.

I don't take a picture of me washing the truck as all of the helpers seem to disappear when the cleaning starts, merely here is an case of why information technology needs done." – Ron Tennyson, 2022 Contrivance Ram 3500, 2022 Arctic Play a joke on 865

"Afterward each trip when we become dwelling I launder down the nose and front end.  Someone gave me a great tip (can't remember who).  If you employ old dryer sheets and warm soapy water, the bugs and all the grime come off real like shooting fish in a barrel in just ane swipe with no difficult scrubbing at all!  I dearest how easy information technology is to go along it make clean.

Maybe one time a year I give the olfactory organ and front a good wax.  That also helps to keep the bugs off and the pelting washes almost of them off with ease.  Two to three times a year, or when needed, I'll wash the whole truck camper.  Only, that doesn't get as muddied equally the forepart and nose does with each trip.  Happy day!" – Kim Scott, 2005 Ford F350, 2006 Northern Calorie-free 10-2000

"I personally do not wash or wax my current or past Lances.  Now maxim that, I am on a 3 month regular schedule that the truck and camper go in for an exterior wash and wax with a local automotive detailer who advertises that they exercise RVs and boats likewise." – Mike Tassinari, 2002 Ford F350, 2022 Lance 1172

"Yes, I launder my camper about twice a twelvemonth in the autumn and spring.  Last bound I broke out the pressure washer and gave it a good bath.  I don't use the full power of the pressure washer, but it does clean it better so merely the hose pressure.  I have a RV brush and I use Dawn dish soap with a little bleach in the water and scrub away!  And so, I rinse with the higher pressure.  It works out well.  I also clean the roof with a safe roof cleaner.  I usually put a coat of wax on information technology in the fall." – Jeff Hagberg, 2002 Ford F250, 2006 Travel Lite 800SBX

"I practise one really complete wash and wax when I put the camper in storage for the winter. It gets washed when I take information technology out of storage and so washed equally needed.  I try to go on upwardly with the bugs on the front end after every trip." – Erwin Greven, 2002 Chevrolet 2500HD, 2002 Lance 921

"It's done as needed.  We deport a jug of Bugs-be-Gone (the cleaner made by SeaFoam, not the insecticide from Ortho) to remove midges, mayflies, and grasshoppers from the front of both the pickup and camper.

Our Lance's roof is made of a hard and glace-when-wet plastic.  Rain storms proceed it fairly make clean, but a soft long-handled brush and detergent is all that's needed upward there.  The same brush is used to wash the sides." – Philip Tron, 2009 Chevy 3500, 2022 Lance 1050

"When nosotros picked upwardly our 42 twelvemonth onetime fiberglass camper final year in Portland, Oregon, it was ho-hum and literally covered with green moss.  Information technology was pretty nasty and gross.  I started scrubbing it with Comet cleanser and a brush, then used a power washer.  It was 100% better, but still lacking in the smooth department.  I tried different polishes and compounds, but nothing really seemed to bring back the gelcoat's smoothen.

I decided to use colored sand with yard grit sandpaper followed past an aggressive compound.  It made the surface look like new.  All that was left was to go over the surface with Gel-Gloss.  Except for where the bugs splatter on the front end, all information technology takes is evidently water to bring it back to looking sharp.  A mild machine launder soap seems to exist enough to become rid of the problems goo.  And to reply your question, I prefer to launder the truck in the driveway by hand." – Tony Tabacchi, 1973 Ford F350, 1973 Ford American Road

"We take ever washed our camping ground business firm; tent trailer, travel trailer, fifth bicycle, and now our truck camper.  Unremarkably we hand launder it at abode with an electrical pressure washer.  Washing it at abode is on our own fourth dimension doesn't cost whatsoever extra than our monthly water beak.

On occasion we have driven to a regular auto launder (later checking the clearance) when time was short.  We treat the rubber roof at least once a year; twice a year if we are feeling ambitious.  Just similar a car, keep it make clean and practise your preventative maintenance and it will concluding many, many years." – Pam Conner, 2022 Ford F350, 2022 Arctic Fox 1150

"My camper gets cleaned probably two to three times per twelvemonth.  The camper lives inside a heated/air conditioned shop when not in use.  Nosotros generally camp in all four seasons. Simple Green seems to work best, and employ of the force per unit area washer is minimal.  Information technology has never seen a truck wash, and I ofttimes refer to dirt equally its "special protective coating".  The interior is different.  It gets cleaned daily when we're on the road." – Bob Nelson, 2022 GMC Sierra 3500, 2022 Chill Pull a fast one on 1140

"Yes, of course nosotros wash our camper.  Usually we'll launder it at home in the driveway with a bucket of suds, Zip car wash, a sponge, and a wash brush hose attachment.  And then, we go over it once again with black streak remover to get off the stubborn bugs and stains. So nosotros do 1 more rinse.  We practice this after arriving dwelling from well-nigh trips." – Barry Schoenwetter, 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD, 2005 Lance 1030

"I wash our camper several times a yr, beginning with the top, slides open up, and so I can also wash the slide awnings.  I rinse the whole camper periodically to prevent whatever streaking to the factory decals.  I then proceed to the olfactory organ cap, removing bugs and road debris.  Then I wash the remainder of the camper, including the portion that sits inside the truck bed.

I use a mild cleaner on the superlative and automotive car wash detergent on the remainder.  I utilize a sparse brush, sometimes an old tooth brush, to make clean out the rain channels at the top.  I also polish the nose cap and fiberglass siding with automotive smoothen once a year.  Additionally, I launder both surfaces of the side canopy several times a year." – Dewey Lackey, 2003 Silverado 3500, 2022 Lance 1172

"I have always done my campers with liquid soap and water, let them dry, and and then coated them with Protect-All polish, wax and handling.  The sixteen-ounce trigger liquid spray canteen is the best value and the easiest to utilise.

I first learned of this product about xx years ago while washing my dad's new motorhome.  The first time nosotros washed it, the bugs were incommunicable to become off because they were baked on from the summer sunday.

Later on some scrubbing, a launder and dry, we coated the all of the sides and forepart cabover with Protect-All.  The next yr washing it was 100 times easier, every bit the bugs didn't stick.

For long route trips or summer "buggy" driving, effort spraying some on the front end cabover portion of your camper.  You will exist pleasantly surprised how piece of cake the bugs wash off when you get home from your trip." – Stan Kennedy, 2005 Toyota Tundra, 2022 Four Wheel Camper Fleet Model

"We wash ours oft.  I've never been a machine guy, but I'd wash my truck several times a calendar week so she looked clean to impress the girls in loftier school.  That "keeping it clean" mental attitude has moved correct forth with me my whole life.

Our truck camper might go washed several times on 1 trip, provided I can find a car wash tall enough for the truck camper.  That'due south the difficult office on our trips.  We tend to e'er take backroads on our trips and small towns don't actually provide tall or outdoor wash stalls.  Nosotros utilise Camco RV wash and wax and an RV brush." – Doug and Tammie Baughman, 2022 Ford F350, 1993 Lance 990

"I unremarkably launder the unabridged camper almost twice per yr with a pressure washer.  Once a yr I wax the nose cap in an attempt to minimize the issues accumulation.  For washing I utilise regular auto washing soap as it is not as harsh as dish or laundry soap.  For waxing I use a good quality paste car wax and vitrify with a power automobile buffer.

As a hint, presoak the camper olfactory organ cap with a large embankment towel over the surface.  The towel volition proceed the surface moisture long enough to loosen the bugs so that they are easier to remove.  I did effort a touchless RV wash in one case just found it merely removed the dust and didn't do much for the camper nose." – Steve Cilenti, 1999 Ford F350, 2022 Arctic Fox 990

"I sometimes use my pressure washer, and sometimes the garden hose and a brush with a good quality car wash soap.  I wax it at least once a year with a good quality cleaning wax.  I usually use the Meguiars make." – Ron Williams, 1997 Ford F250, 2003 Lance 1010

"I utilise a power washer and long handled brush with regular car washing soap. Once it'south clean I go over information technology one more fourth dimension with a spotless soap that has a wax in it and a leaf blower to dry information technology." – Dave Erickson, 2022 Ford F350, 2006 Arctic Trick 990

"I constantly wash my truck camper – almost every trip!  I accept found through experience that a pressure level washer spray alone does non clean it satisfactorily.  To clean it the best, yous must touch the surface with a brush.  My preferred method is to utilise a long handled castor with catamenia through water and so that I tin can constantly move and make clean quickly.  If you do it often, the job doesn't go overwhelming!" – Charles Coushaine, 2001 Ford F350, 2022 Chalet DS116RB

"I try to wash information technology after every trip.  Zep-O-Polish has been peachy for loosening upward the bugs and leaving a super shine.  They make a great brush for scrubbing too.  The long handle makes for quick work." – Dave Miller, 2022 F350, 2003 Bigfoot x.6E

"We wash our rig by hand with a horsehair brush, and spray on an RV wax protectant before rinsing.  We use a filter when rinsing with a low-cal spray to protect the electrical, heater, water pump, and stove vents on exterior.

Information technology's particularly tedious when doing the undercarriage after off-roading.  We tin can't go through a robotic launder considering the blast could impairment the camper with loftier pressure level.

We live in a rural surface area, and so we accept to launder it more often, as dust and crop harvesters spew crust.  It has to exist parked outside." – Mike Kolinski, 2022 GMC Sierra 2500HD, 2022 FWC Militarist

"Both my truck and camper are stored outside.  I utilize Armor All Launder and Wax and a telescoping long handle brush with warm water.  I dry it with a miracle cobweb towel, and and so vitrify lightly with a terry towel.  Bingo!  They both shine like new.  It takes virtually thirty-5 minutes.  I use Formula 303 on tires, plastic, and the canopy." – Burton Lane, 2005 Dodge Ram 3500, 2001 Lance Lite 915

"I wash my camper several times during the year, using a adept quality vehicle lather.  Also, subsequently every trip, I clean the bugs off the front using a cleaner specially made for that purpose by Griot's Garage in Tacoma." – Steve Timmings, 2003 Ford F350, 2022 FWC Militarist SC

"The camper gets done every fourth dimension the truck does, past a automobile wash in the driveway.  It especially needed information technology after driving from Alaska to Tennessee in our motion here this by June.  Information technology was a beautiful trip, merely that's some other story." – Darrell Watson, 2022 Ram 2500, 2007 Lance 815

"I launder my camper afterward every trip.  Subsequently a good hose down, I attach used dryer sheets – yes, used dryer sheets – to a Swiffer mop head.  And then I attach that to a 12-foot extendable painter's pole.  I use blue Dawn dish detergent on the dryer sheets and the bugs skid off without too much rubbing.

On other spots where bugs have attacked the camper, I paw rub with the used dryer sheets and Dawn.  It works similar a amuse.  I apply a soft cloth and Dawn on the rest of the camper. The dryer sheets also piece of work peachy on removing the bugs off the truck's grill." – Rita Eshman, 2005 Ford F250, 2022 Charlatan 86FB

"Yes, nosotros do wash our camper, top included.  We clean it the old fashioned way with elbow grease, a long handled brush, tooth brush and cleaners for the roof and siding. Nosotros figure that nosotros have a substantial investment in our camper and want to keep information technology in like new condition as long as we can." – Lori Hall, 2022 Ford F250, 2022 Wolf Creek 850

"There is no mode I'm getting on top of the camper to wash it.  It'due south a little matter called acrophobia.  It's a strange condition for a former instrument rated multi-engine pilot.

The rig is done before every trip and waxed a couple of times a year all past a detailer.  We but have information technology out for long trips, and then that amounts to iv cleanings a twelvemonth.  Information technology might be less necessary if I had a cover, but I'g not getting on pinnacle to deal with a cover." – Joe and Sandee Sesto, 2022 Silverado 3500 HD, 2022 Bigfoot 2500 10.6E

"We wash it every time we go out; or we used to.  In current Due west Coast drought times, nosotros don't wash it at all.  Nosotros wash it with a long handled brush, plus car wash lather and water.  Sometimes a tar remover (sold at auto parts stores) is needed on either the truck and/or the camper.  Nosotros don't get it 100% make clean on the front, as that just "bugs out" again very rapidly." – Bruce and Kathy Allison, 2000 Ford F350, 2022 Adventurer 910 FBS

"I go on my camper and truck as clean every bit possible, even on the road.  I done our rig top to bottom three times on the terminal trip; 54 days and x,000 miles.  I spent a lot of quarters!

I bear with me a car wash brush with an extension handle, car wash lather with wax, and drinking glass cleaner.  My truck has all rubber mats for ease of cleaning and mud flaps to try to keep some of the clay off the outside.

It just makes me experience better to drive a clean rig.  A clean rig is a happy rig.  Equally a side notation, when nosotros got domicile I spent three days washing the truck and camper." – Tom Robert, 2022 Ford F350, 2022 Arctic Pull a fast one on 1150

"How oft nosotros wash our truck camper and truck is based on how much driving we have done.  Since crossing into Canada on June 1st, and so into Alaska mid-June, we have done both vehicles four times.  Two of those times were at car washes and ii times by paw.  Nosotros used a mild soap and a soft brush with an extendable handle.  We mostly wax the truck camper twice a year." – Glenn Blount, 2022 Ford F350, 2004 Lance 1010

"Yes, I wash information technology regularly.  In fact, I clean it later on almost every road trip and sometimes on a long road trip.  I wash it because I pulled KP many times and have been the "pots and pans" outside man before.  And then, a career in the military taught me to wash everything all the time.

I utilise a truck launder if I am out on the road or, when I get dwelling house, I take a John Deere ability washer.  At that place are many products, but I have found the best wash is a scent gratis clothes washing detergent along with some non-scented Dr Bronner's liquid soap.

I mix nearly half detergent and half Dr Bronner'southward (a one-half to a total cup each) depending upon how dirty the camper is.  How much I use also depends on whether or not I am going to launder the entire truck camper from the roof down, or only the front and sides.

The reason I use this combination is that they exercise not leave much residue and they cutting grease very well.  Road crud is a philharmonic of oils and bugs mixed with dirt.  In addition, these cleaners are bio-degradable, then yous don't accept a mess left over in your driveway or running downward the streets in your neighborhood.

If you lot want to stop it and have a place out of the lord's day, utilise a product that offers UV protection.  One of the best is 303 Aerospace Protectant.  I have used it for years on my Harley, Corvettes (fiberglass) and fifty-fifty on my John Deere tractor.  The stuff works, and the best value is buy it past the gallon.

I take care of my camper because it's mine and someday I will sell it or trade it in.  It will be worth more in good condition." – Don Pryor, 2022 Ford F350, 2008 Arctic Fox 1150

"Information technology is a necessary evil but, yes, I wash it after every trip.  The bugs on the front are enough to make information technology a must practice upshot.  I'll use my pressure washer to get the bulk of the bugs off so wash the unabridged unit with a long handle castor and car wash lather.

If some bugs turn down to come up off, I scrub the pesky spots with a mesh sponge that is fabricated for that purpose." – Kevin Presson, 1997 Dodge Ram 2500, Outfitter 9.v Apex

"Aye, I wash my camper later on just about every trip to remove the bug guts and dust from our dirt roads and gravel pits (Alaskan gratis campgrounds found along every route).  I use my gas powered pressure level washer with soap, a long handled bug scrubber and wash castor, and a diversity of sponges.

I apply the opportunity to inspect everything on the truck and camper and perform any maintenance needed.  A clean rig must get improve mileage, doesn't it?" – Allen Jedlicki, 2022 GMC Sierra 2500HD, 2022 Wolf Creek 850SB

"Nosotros wash our camper ii times during camping flavour.  We proceed it stored in a pole barn.  Terminal winter my husband waxed it with Eagle 1 spray-on wax and it made it actually easy to wash bugs off." – K. Davis, 2022 Ford F350, 2103 Lance 1050

"I requite the truck camper a thorough wash and wax at first of the flavor and again before we put her to bed November through February.  During the season I try to requite a quick wash earlier every trip.  I similar to striking the trail with a clean rig!

I use automotive lather, a long handled brush, sponge, and a ladder to get on the roof. For wax, I employ 303 Aerospace Protectant.  Information technology makes the job easy and really prevents dirt and bug build upwardly for quite a while.  If needed, I as well use the bug remover stuff that you tin purchase online.  It works well at getting the crusty bugs off the front of the camper.

Using a cover helps keep the camper clean in the off season as we have a lot of trees on our property." – Neb Tex, 2006 Chevy 3500, 2022 Eagle Cap 850

"I paw wash the camper after each use with a car launder solution and issues remover where necessary.  I hose it off with a garden hose and wax the front of the camper." – Bill Fisher, 2022 Ram 3500, 2003 Mount Star by Travel Lite

"It's pretty unproblematic.  I get a large saucepan and a scrub brush with a long handle." – Ryan H., 2004 Dodge Ram, 1500 Skamper 800

"I don't launder my camper oft.  In fact, yesterday I spotted some Overland Expo West dried mud still on it!  Information technology'south so filthy right now from Crepe Myrtle flower effluent that I'chiliad dreading the job.

When I practise wash information technology, I apply whatsoever automotive washing chemical I take on hand, which is nothing special.  I use a soft bristle brush on a broom handle.

When information technology'south really filthy, equally it is now, I'll elevate out my cheap Harbor Freight power washer (keeping the spray abroad from seams, windows and vents).  Past the way, my Lance is aluminum skinned.  Oddly, none of my pictures evidence information technology existence washed, but enough bear witness it dirty!" – Mark Obert, 1999 Ford F250SD, 1999 Lance 920

"On our contempo trip to the Northwest, Glacier National Park, Banff, and Jasper, nosotros pulled in to a money operated auto launder in the midst of our trip to clean off the grit.  At dwelling house it gets mitt done before each trip.

There are no unusual soaps or tools, which is the same approach we use for our cars.  Money wash may need to get the norm with the water restrictions in Northern California." – Carol Wegner, 2022 Toyota Tundra, 2009 Northstar TC650

"If we are home, we use a power washer and long scrub brushes.  Bounce dryer sheets stuffed in the bristles of the castor will get off well-nigh of the bugs splattered on the nose cone.

It's really hard to clean off bugs.  Get a spray bottle of Simple Light-green and a dryer sail, but be careful non to drip Simple Light-green on your truck's paint.

If on the road, we search for a alpine truck launder.  We carry a saucepan and a brush with us if there is no truck wash.  The best tall wash always was in the stockyards in Oklahoma City.  The h2o was even hot." – Anne and Joe Brown, 2022 Ford F450, 2022 Chalet TS116

"Aye, we wash our truck camper.  It takes some time when we are at abode subsequently a trip.  Hot water and Dawn dish soap starts the process.  If nosotros come up to a hard area that is thick with bugs, nosotros use a product chosen Crawly.

If we utilize brushes, we use soft brushes, and always and constantly change our h2o, brushes, and wash cloths.  If nosotros are on the road, a quick truck wash volition piece of work for the time being, merely we don't employ the brushes as about are full of small dust, which will scratch the surface of our Avion, something we found out early." – Mark Dyvig, 2001 Ford F250, 1969 Avion C-11

"I have always hand washed all of my vehicles.  Our Adventurer needed a good bath when we brought it dwelling, and nosotros had to use a bleaching agent to clean it.

I have always used a commercial auto wash soap and wax mix when cleaning the outer skin, which is the same as our truck, car, motorcycle, and even my old Corvette.  The final trick is to apply a good wax after washing it at least once a year.

Just on the return trip from the due east coast of Canada, the nose of the camper was covered with bug remains.  I washed it off twice during our last three weeks, but at that place will be a major cleaning when we accomplish home.  I'm a scrap anal about having clean equipment as I showed cars and bikes earlier as a hobby." – Eric Devolin, 2007 GMC 3500, 2006 Adventurer 106DBS

"Yes, I launder the camper, and wax information technology likewise.  I use an RV liquid lather and a long handled brush designed for trucks and RVs.  For the bugs that adorn the front end stop cap, I will pre-wash that area with a mixture of NAPA problems removal windshield washer liquid.  That has worked the best then far to get the bugs off before I start washing with the liquid RV soap.  I wax the camper typically one time per year using a high quality carnauba RV or gunkhole wax." – Dave Riddle, 2022 Chevy 3500, 2006 Host Tahoe

"Although I've used force per unit area washers at commercial truck washes in the by, I believe they are simply too hard on the stop, gaskets, and seals.  The only method I employ now is hand washing, using automotive blazon automobile wash soap and a soft hand.

I remove the camper from the truck to go it lower to the basis.  I don't permit dirt and road film sit on the surface for long because it'due south annoying and ages the end faster.  The bugs are a challenge to remove but keeping a good coat of wax on the surface makes it much easier.  I wax the front surfaces about twice a yr and the remainder once a year.

I purchased the truck and camper new and shop both in a garage when non in utilise.  They've had proper care and still look nearly new after 23+ years!" – Mike Seaward, 1988 GMC K3500, 1992 Lance 480

"The just time I launder the truck and camper is if there are a lot of bugs on them.  I just utilise regular car launder lather and lots of elbow grease.  If there's only mud or dirt on them, I just leave it.  I effigy the dirt helps protect he paint from scratches from branches when going downwardly a narrow, overgrown road." – Phil Rodacy, 2022 GMC 3500, 2006 Okanagan 90W

"I don't wash my camper all the time but, when I do, I usually take it to the car wash and castor and blast the dirt and grime off of my camper.  It is much easier to do that so washing information technology at the business firm." – Bob Chan, 1989 Ford F250, 1988 Lance 780

"Yes, I launder it once per year in late summer, just I should practise it more frequently.  I use a car wash cleaner in the power washer with the everyman pressure level wand end.  This gets the camper clean, but doesn't blast out the caulking.  Yet, I'm conscientious around the windows and seals." – Wade and Becky Johnson, 2004 Ford F350, 2003 Lance 1130

"From the Lance Camper transmission: 'Wash the exterior at to the lowest degree once a month using a mild liquid detergent.  Never utilize stiff abrasives to clean the exterior surfaces.

Launder your camper in a shady area, not in direct sunlight.  If the camper is parked in the sun, move it into the shade and permit the exterior absurd downward before yous showtime.  Chemical solvents and stiff cleaners tin impairment the siding, roofing, metal and plastic trims on your camper.

Rinse the camper thoroughly with cool water to remove loose dirt.  Fill up a bucket with absurd water.  Mix in a mild detergent, such as dishwashing liquid or a product fabricated especially for automobile or RV washing.'

Wash the camper using the h2o and mild detergent solution and a soft-bristle brush, sponge, or soft material.  Commencement at the top and work your way downwardly.  Rinse ofttimes.

Cheque the surface for road tar, tree sap, etc.  Remove these stains with tar remover or turpentine.  Rinse it off immediately and so it does non impairment the finish.  Recollect to re-wax these areas, even if the rest of the camper does non demand waxing.

When you have washed and rinsed the whole exterior, dry it with a chamois or soft towel.  Letting information technology air-dry will cause dulling and water spots.  As you dry out your camper, inspect around the seals and repair as necessary.

Wax the exterior at least in one case a year, preferably twice.  Use automotive waxes or cleaners/polishes developed for apply on fiberglass boats, showers and tubs.  Be sure to follow the directions on the wax container.  Some cleaners and waxes are recommended for use on only certain types of surfaces.

Exterior streaking is reduced with more frequent waxing.  Practice non employ abrasive cleaners or rubbing compounds.  Always wash and dry out the whole camper before waxing information technology.  Rubbing alcohol can be used on caulking that shows signs of yellowing.

You should make clean your roof at to the lowest degree four times a year.  For normal cleaning use a mild liquid detergent and water mixture, or Murphy's Oil Soap™ with a soft nylon brush or sponge.  Do not use solid or granulated cleaners, equally they will mar the cease.  For more difficult stains, use a material dampened with mineral spirits.  Do not use mineral spirits in a big area or soak into the roof membrane."

I use a wash and wax fabricated for fiberglass.  I use NuCar every bit the wax.  It is all synthetic and does non leach white drops onto my windshield.

I have acrylic windows.  Hither are the instructions for acrylic windows:

"Keep your acrylic windows looking and performing like new by using the proper care, products and techniques, and by understanding a little about the material you are working with.  Acrylic windows tin be scratched with a crude cloth, harsh soaps, or cleaning products and these must be avoided.

When cleaning a window, ever remove as much abrasive dirt equally possible without touching the surface.  It'southward also a skillful idea to remove jewelry, which can crusade deep scratches.  Ideally this would involve flushing the surface with water and assuasive the accumulated bug residue to soak, perchance with a balmy dish washing liquid added to the water.

Use a not-abrasive soap or detergent and water.  Utilise a soft sponge, textile or chamois and rinse often to keep it free of grit.  Wash upward and downward or side to side, never in a circular movement.  After a last flushing with more water carefully dry with a clean soft cloth, a practiced rule of pollex is to gently (permit the weight of the cloth do the work) wick upwards the excess water on your first pass which will besides wick upwardly whatever residual lose particles.  Start at the top of the window and piece of work down turning the cloth to a fresh side after each laissez passer.  Over again do not utilize a circular motility on the windows." – Roy Garland, 2022 Ford F350, 2022 Lance 1040

"When at home and getting ready for a route trip I wash the truck and camper by hand with a bucket of soap and long handled brush.  That usually takes about 2 and a half hours.  When on the road as nosotros are now, we use the practise-it-yourself spray wash locations.  A few days ago driving from Colorado Springs through a heavy rainstorm nosotros acquired a heavy coating of cherry-red mud on the entire rig.  We found a ability wash facility in Boulder and cleaned it upwards.

Today, I found a place in Steamboat Springs and power washed the undercarriage to go the remaining grit and mud removed.  There is no reason not to have a clean truck camper.  I like it and my truck and camper like information technology." – Roger Odahl, 2008 Dodge Ram 3500, 2004 Eagle Cap 950

"I wash it at domicile with car wash soap, a long handled brush for the camper, and a sponge for the truck.  I utilize a "California Water Blade" for drying the windows and the truck.  The camper usually air dries without water spots." – Jack Purdy, 1969 Ford F-250 Camper Special, 1970 Ringlet-A- Long Sportster nine.5
