Can you use regular rv wash on the tent ends. Will it cause any harm. What can you use than if not the rv wash for it.

I used Oxy Clean on our pop-up's vinyl bunk tops and it worked great. Looked like new.

I have been using your standard car wash stuff on mine for years. I believe it is mild enough no to do any harm. There are times when I wish it was a little stronger to take off some of the real grime but so far, no trouble.

I used Simple Green with great results. The only thing I have trouble is pine tree sap. Any suggestions?

I used simple green also but the best thing i've done is invest in some pop up gizmos. My tent ends are white so they really help to keep them clean.

StarCraft Aqualon can be cleaned with almost anything including a water/bleach solution. For 4 seasons owning 2 Antigua's I never once cleaned them. Used the gizmos to protect them every trip and the rain did the rest. Looked new when I traded the 235SBS in with over a hundred nights out in it.

BTW StarCraft has the recommendations for cleaning them in their manual along with the rest of the unit including the roof.

What about the inside part of the tents? Mine are filthy.
