Washed The Trailer

Little late this year in washing my Trailer. Been dryer this year, not speckled with too much mildew this year, should have washed it prior kept putting it off.

At My Lot We have water, so I washed the car also.
Brought my Meguires Ceramic Wax and waxed it also.

That said, I Ceramic Waxed the Bottom half of the front below the Bullet nose.

Now to see if any black streaks appear from the rain?

Meguires wax is really easy to apply, last about 3 months.

I washed and waxed our 2021 3121RL a few months ago and it's due again. A friend of mine has a 35' Tiffin Class A and pays about $400.00 for a wash and wax. He w&w'd it just before a 2 week road trip and had it done again when he returned. Too much $$$ for me, I'll do it myself. I have to time it correctly because one side gets hit by the sun early in the day. That's where I start and hustle so it doesn't dry on me!

Meguire's is great. Next time you wax, try out the Griot's Garage Ceramic spray wax. Mine has lasted 6 months and counting. Company says it should last a year.

I have found the best time to wash the trailer (and the truck) is when it rains. The heavier the rain, the better. Rain softens the dirt to begin with, and then also helps rinse. It's going to rain anyway and spot after a rain if it's washed or not. So no need to dry. Yea, I get soaked wet from the rain. But the benefit of the rain helps aid in washing! Try it some day, you might be surprised!

Your killing two bird at once: Washing the Monty and getting you shower at the same time and if you still have any, your hair will rain water soft.

So true! So true! I always did believe in stocking my camper with items that were capable of multi-functioning, multi-tasking purposes! I guess it's just my nature.
