1st question since your using portable well water being trucked in, how is the water pressure. If not fairly decent, you can totally forget Mr. Clean as you wont get enough water through the filter for rinse.

I use "The Solution" which is a waterless spray and wipe that also waxes. I've been using it for two years and have used a 2/3 of a gallon in that time. Cost is about $45/gal. Good stuff

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I didn't have the time to purchase any products online at this time instead I purchase Turtle Zip Wax Car Wash at Wal Mart and a large brush.

Will give it a try this weekend and will post how it went.

Again thank you again for your quick replies. Wishing y'll a great and safe 4th!!!!

I just washed ours last week... Man... thats one big coach!!! Now comes the wax... I use RV Wash from thetfor (I think). I will use Finish 2001 to wax. Easy polymer to apply and wipe clean...

Washed, cleand all windows and dressed the tires with ShowShine. It Took almost 3 hours to gitrdone...

Have fun!!!

WE use Voom we get at camping world. Have never had to dry it after rinse. looks good. I Have washed early in the morning before the sun gets too high and also at sundown. Have found that I prefer the morning because the skin of the MH has not heated up.

Ditto on the Solution. Very good dry wash and wax at the same time. But if the coach is very dirty I have a Black Cat electric power washer that I bought at Fred Myers in Oregon.. It has a canister where you put some non detergent dish soap and spray the coach one side at a time, then you turn the high pressure and rinse it off. Then I still get a big towel and dry one side at a time. It does not take long to do the whole coach. And it will look like the day you bought the coach.

I also questioned the water pressure out of the water truck is why I decided to be safe and purchased the Turtle Wax in stead of Mr. Clean.

Thanks again,

LUeno
