We used Blue Beacon June 1st in Kingman, AZ. They did a good job with 7 employees, sprayed high pressure, brushed surfaces then sprayed to rinse. $44 base price, $6 spray under carriage, $16 for rainx. They had spray nozzles in the ceiling that did the roof. No drying. for RVs, Decent job, reasonable price. I think it is standard pricing for RVs.

At least up here in the northeast at many of the truck stops that sell accessories they have fiberglass or metal adjustable poles they use for washing, they are very durable. They usually have 2 or 3 different lengths, made to wash those tall box trailers

I use Meguire's Ultimate Wash and Wax along with an extension pole and brush from Home Depot. It really doesn't take the place of a 'real' wax job but will help to maintain any existing wax/polish.

I use Gel-Gloss concentrate. I think from Amazon. Use it on all my vehicles.

Also when I bought our rig I paid a couple hundred for some super wax job that is suppose to last for years with just regular washings. So far it has lived up to it's claim.

We just make sure we wash ours the way the Duratain guy said...top to bottom , and front to back ....not back to front ,it messes with any vents, etc ,on the roof.
But going to look into the Blue Beacon too.

Washing 5th Wheel

We use a brush with an extension handle. Also use a ladder if needed to reach the high spots. Bought an extra tall ladder for the purpose and helps us to wax.

Will 1500 psi pressure washer peel the decals off?
I'm still able to wash & wax myself.
Just found out, we have a Blue Beacon just up the interstate. Prices look reasonable as long as the decals don't peel off.

My Montana is a 2010 with the decals that shrink, shrivel and crack and peal. I would not use a power washer on mine. I've watched my dealer washing RV's in the fall blowing the clearance light covers all over the parking lot. I don't think standing on the ground with a power washer is going to be effective on those areas high up that are more than 3 feet away from the wand. I would rather scrub my roof with a brush and not disrupt the caulking with a power wash. And once the window seals get a little older, may not want to get too rough with them. You have to be careful with a brush too as you can get to agressive.
