Humm. I have noted that in every long term C.G we have been in this winter the folks that come around to "detail" your camper use a power washer to wash it. I would assume they all have very good insurance company to pay for all the graphics they peel off.Our Power washer will adjust to ' Garden hose" PSI to etch concrete PSI.We adjust it accordingly for the job being performed.It also mixes soap/wax/etc with the water if desired. We also have one of those long handled brushes and find it is also a handy tool.The term "power washer" does not necessarily mean it is a "Hi pressure power washer" The term"high pressure power washer" means that it is. In about every case the PSI availible, and instructions on how to use and adjust the washer are clearly stated on the washer or in the operators manual should we choose to read it.
It is of course a personal preference based on past experience and however we choose to do it is of course the correct choice for us. We are sure it has happened but we have NEVER personally seen camper graphics damaged by a power washer..We HAVE seen vinyl and aluminum siding on a house badly damaged by the operators lack of knowledge in the use of the High Pressure power washer.We have the HIgh Pressure power washer at home and have used it for several years to clean the aluminum siding portion of our home as well as to clean the driveway, wash the trucks and the campers and having been properly educated and trained in the use of the tool, have never damaged anything.
