Ryobi Power Scrubber on Extendable Pole..
Anyone use one of these, wonder how it would work on our RVS, or would it damage the stickers et.. Comes with a foam head and also a courser bristle head.. several different ones to by in between those.. Seems like it would be great to wash it with before a waxing, also to do the tires and rims also!
Just looking for input, thanks!

Have you got a link? The exterior of a trailer is pretty "fragile".

If it's a "ryobi rotary pressure washer brush" like this one, it's not going to work like you're hoping... Mine snapped about half the "rotary blades" on the turbine the first time I used it, but before it broke, it was dripping more water down my arm than it was spraying on the trailer.
I found it's easier and more efficient to use a "automotive broom brush", dip it in a bucket of soapy water, wash the trailer from bottom to top, then rinse from top to bottom and leave that "fancy rotary brush" in the pole barn gathering dust...

Seems a little tougher and the fact it comes with a foam rotating wheels as well as the bristled one.. They have at Home depot now for 99.00

I have an RV brush on a telescoping wand. The garden hose hooks into the end of it and I can control the amount of water that sprays through the brush by adjust a valve where the garden hose attaches. It is not powered. The only power it takes to clean is "human power." It does work very nice and when rinsing, I can just turn the valve up, let the water squirt straight out of the brush into a stream and use it to spray down the soap. It works great. No batteries needed.
The only down side.... it gets real heavy after a few minutes, holding it up and brushing to clean the sides of the camper. The longer you hold it up in the air, the heavier it gets. Not only are you holding the brush and wand, you are also holding up the weight of the attached garden hose, dragging that thing around. THAT's what makes it so heavy!
I found, just dipping the brush into a bucket of water and slopping it on and using a spray nozzle on a garden hose to be a lot easier on the human battery!
My wife purchased the "As Seen On TV" version for bathroom showers.... it's worthless. A toilet brush on the shower walls does a better job.

I've got the brush that attaches to a garden hose as well. It put more water on me and as dutcmen sais it gets unwieldy in short order. I use a spray foamer and apply soap to about 10' then dip the brush in a bucket of soap and scrub. Then rinse and repeat. The spray foamer attachment is also great for applying liquid wax. This is what's worked for me.
