Did something I never did before
I retired a month ago and I decided I'd wash and wax my 26RBI, along with my Ram Ecodiesel and wife's Sorento.
I never felt I had time to wax my camper before but my outlook is now way different than before
By the way, I bought some Protect-All from Walmart, completely used up a 16oz spray bottle on the camper. The stuff goes on and buffs easily and I like the way it's got some body to it which made me feel like I was actually depositing some of the carnauba it contains. Feels very smooth as well.

Nice job!!! How much to drive down to VA and do mine? It's a REALLY nice drive, well, except around DC.

To be honest the camper took maybe 3 or 4 hours including breaks between last evening and this morning, or at least it was so easy it didn't seem like more than that. Using Protect-All it was not a difficult job at all. It really is wipe on, wipe off,

Looks great. If you are making a trip down the east coast you could stop in here too. Sounds like you have the potential for a retirement business.

Looks good. How's the Ecodiesel working out for you?

I kove the truck. Just did a 77 mile round trip to the doctor...29mpg.
Towing the 26rbi I typically get 14mpg but have gotten as high as 16...tows it like nothing's back there. I did install some TLC airbags which I only inflate for towing to take the bounce out of the rear coils.

Lookin good neighbor ! Funny thing, I just waxed our Bullet 243BHS last week for the first time. It's plenty of real estate, but really wasn't too bad. I used a spray on wax I had handy..... Final Detail I think is the brand name. It's amazing how 'new' the trailer looks now. I also used some Turtle Wax trim restore on the black skirts, wheel well trim, etc. Wow, what a difference. I need to make it a point to do this a couple times per year. Sorry, no pics handy.

Ductape, next time try Protect-All available at Walmart. Went on and off very easy and seems to have left a thicker coating than a spray wax does.
