In Aug 08 issue of "RV View" (official magazine of Camping World), (page 6):
"Give your RV a Day at the Spa and leave the Scrubbing to Us"
Camping World SuperCenters now has a new service to help you take care of your RV.
The new RV Spa service includes washing wasing and detaining using RV-safe cleaners and protectants. RV Spa is available at most locations, visit CampingWorld.com/rvspa for a location near you.
ok, so I went to the site to see what it costs!
Here's the link. Good luck!

Has anybody had experience using a pressure washer to clean the RV?

Tell me about it. The guy pays a couple of flunkies minimum wage and he pockets the difference.
This guy caters to detailing VERY,VERY, VERY high end sport cars/luxury cars. But he will do motor homes. But not mine!

Do not use a pressure washer on a rubber roof.
It well tare out the seals around the openings on the roof and also peal the decals off the sides.
A nice soft brush well do the job just fine.......

Avoid the pressure washer, I wasn't paying attention when I accidentally screwed up the decals on the back of my rig with a high pressure stream. Tore into them like they were butter.

Thanks for replies thus far. I called the new Camping World just outside Madison - the will do only vertical surfaces for $3.49/foot and the work is contracted out. They don't even give a price for doing roofs. Blue Beacon near Portage, WI, told me their men must stay on the floor, will reach what they can with brushes on poles, but will not even be able to tell what kind of job they are doing. Their charge is $34. I think I need to look at other truck washes. Oh, well.

$30 a foot is what I was quoted as well by three separate sources. That inlcuded outside wash and wax and inside detail. But, still pricey.

I just pressure washed my new Tiffin tonite. Started on the roof and then did all four sides. I have used a 3000 PSI pressure washer on all my trailers and motorhomes for ten years. Rubber roofs, decals and all. Just be careful and you will be fine. I followed up the pressuere washing with Protect All. Got half the coach done and my shouder is about to fall off. My plan was to finish the other half in the morning, but I doubt that will happen. Maybe next month.
As stated, a soft brush will work very nicely as well. Just a bunch more work IMO.
Good luck.
