Mr Clean Autodry..... this saves me a lot of time... you still need a soft extendable brush but no wiping, buckets of water and soap.

I was going to do that but, the wife said it wasn't a pretty site and might disturb the neighbors.

The remaining stock went from ~$2.00ea at Big Lots, to what's posted on this link $35. Don't count on seeing refills

Have always used paint roller extension handle w/car brush and bucket. Just bought one of the soap dispensing brushes and used on boat. Wasn't overly impressed. I did find it best to turn on full blast to expel lots of soapy water, then shut off as I scrubbed. When washing RV, I stand on 4' tall ladder scaffold so I'm not getting run off all over me.

Bucktet'O'Soapy Water, long brush, hose to rinse. I go into it knowing I'll get wet. And I enjoy washing it because it seems so much BIGGER.

I'll try filling the leaking/squirting swivel joint between tube and handle with epoxy. May add some kind of "rain gutters" to divert the water running back down the tube, to the sides.

It leaks/sprays where the soap and water handle swivel-connect to the telescoping part. Aside from that the water from the brush runs back down the tube, into my armpits and then into my shoes. There's gotta be a better way, not involving climbing up and down a ladder. It looks a lot better though. Blue Beacon Truck/RV washes do a great job....for my 29' Class C it is only $35.00.

I don't feed the water into the brush, I just dip it in my tub of suds. Working over my head, yeah, the water still runs down the handle, just not as much. Also get wet when the spray from the hose comes back at me.
Washing a motorhome, truck, car, outside of your house, whatever is a wet job, good for a warm day. A good bathing suit job. If you want it washed, and you to stay dry, you'll have to get someone else to wash it. I've been tempted to take the motorhome to one of those fundraisers where kids are washing cars.

Don't buy one of those RV scrubbers with a water powered rotating brush, been there done that long ago. Black and Decker should come out with a lithium battery powered gizmo that scrubs, polishes and buffs your rig whilst you stay on the ground.At 73 with bad knees, my wife won't let me climb ladders n'more. My son will have to install the new Winegard Sensar with Wingman replacement head.

Bought one of those long time ago (late 80's) and put in kitchen beside fridge, which was also near trashcan. Yes, DW threw it out still in box with the trash - brand new and never used! I've never forgotten that; nor has she thanks to my reminders
