I just washed the roof myself using a diluted Dawn dish soap. Done that the last 6 years there same as I do when I'm in Ohio for the summer.

Most RV parks down there that have populations of Seasonals have mobile RV repair and detail companies that work regularly within the park that they can recommend.

Should you decide to do it yourself, don't use a soap that has a nice citrus smell to it. There have been reports of birds and squirrels attacking roofs that smell like food.

You can wash your roof yourself at many Florida parks at least once after you arrive from your trip south. Ask the Sun Fun office and they probably have a roof cleaner that does many roofs in their park for a fee. I noticed your name was Dennis, and that's a plus. I noticed you are about 63 and that's a plus.If you are not disabled Dennis, take your t-shirt off, wear shorts and good tennis or deck shoes, get a hose bucket and some dawn and head up the ladder. Wear a hat and be very deliberate about scrubbing the roof, and washing the a/c covers and maybe even any slide covers and awnings. Be aware and enjoy the Florida day. Start about 9 or 10 on a good sunny morning or even earlier. When done, because your name is Dennis make sure you put at least 2 cold beers in the fridge before you started the 2+ hour job. Good Luck...Dennis age 72 still on his roof!! when he too arrive at Florida for the winter.
