When we return from a trip, just go to the carwash and use the truck wash bay. Once or twice a year polish the outside. Mine has the aluminum siding.
My feet are fine as long as they are traveling.

Be careful with a power washer they put out a lot of pressure and can cause leaks. Power washers can take paint off of a house so you can guess what it would do to the side or the roof of a camper if used with to much pressure. Dryer sheets work great be sure and wash after use. Good luck.

simple green, scrub brush on a pole and a garden hose do a great job.

....woah doggie. One piece stainless-steel roof?
What the..? I've only read about stainless-steel roofs on $2 million dollar + European expedition vehicles! These roofs weigh well over 200 pounds per linear foot (at 8 foot widths).
Could you elaborate?
