Just curious to know how you all wax/polish the top of your Class B? Even a tall ladder doesn't let me get close enough. I used a Shine-mop thing to apply and buff off. Any other ideas?

Tape styrofoam insulation to the ladder and lean it on the van. We use an 8" step ladder that way and it works great. I am not tall, but I can reach the entire roof.

I had no issues doing my Roadtrek from an 8' stepladder with a thick old bath towel draped & taped around the top, deployed as Booster posted. Lean it against the upper side of the van, don't open it. '/', not 'A'.

I can even use the same ladder for the Tiger, which is much taller and wider. I just have to go up higher and lean across more. On the Tiger's white gel coat roof, I use old-fashioned liquid Turtle Wax twice a year, applied and removed by hand.

'/', not 'A'. Thanks. I understand. I'll try that next time.
