Best Pressure Washer??

I am considering purchasing a Pressure Washer for both cleaning our Montana and for taking old paint/stucco off the house for repainting. There are all kinds of pressure washers that deliver from 300 PSI to 3,100 PSI and even more. In searching the internet, I can't find what would be the best PSI for cleaning our Montana, WITHOUT damaging it, stripping off the decals or tearing up the window screens. What do you think would be the best pressure washer and PSI for cleaning our second home??

I have 3100 PSI Ryobi from Home Depot. I got mine because it had the Honda engine, which is solid. I use it on my camper, boat, and truck, as I would not use anything smaller than a 25 degree nozzle. That , or higher should be good to go, I have never damaged anything. If you use like a 0 degree, that will etch concrete, so never go to small. Just be mind full of decals when washing, and your nozzle degree and you should be good to go. I have both a gas and electric. I like the gas better, seems to be more powerful and do a better job. Just have to make sure its draining in freezing temps or the pump will freeze up. The electric, you can just bring inside.

I have an electric one. I think it's 3000 psi. I works great but it's a 220 volt model. You need a 220 volt receptacle for it so that limits where you can use it. I had a 110 volt one but it didn't do nearly as good as a gasoline one or the 220 volt one.

I have an electric one that makes about 1700 psi. Plenty of power for washing the Montana, lawn furniture or picnic tables. Be careful with the more powerful ones as they can strip off your decals very easily. Picked mine up at Lowes and is a small size so I can carry it with us in the Montana.

Like kozzy I have a 3100 psi with a Honda engine. Always easy start, even after sitting idle for long periods. Using a wide angle spray nozzle and not getting the nozzle too close to the surface it should not hurt anything.
