This is much like you would do at home with a hose. The difference is the water in Yuma contains high concentrations of salt. The vendors there bring a tank of Reverse Osmosis (RO) water which they use, via the pressure washer, as it is mineral free. It drys without spotting and doen't require wiping to dry it.
I had just watched a Youtube video with Mike Phillips. He was using a cannon-adapter onto your power washer. It really helps to soap up the coach and let the suds work away. In the past I have used a brush and applied the soap to the rv and then scrubbed it. I like his method better. Going to give it a shot. I think I am going to apply some heavier wax to the nose-so bug removal is easier.
