I stand duly chastised. Rest assured I read all that was said. The only thing I'll say is that no, I wouldn't rinse a few bugs off in front of my grandchildren, heaven forbid. And I wouldn't rinse the bugs off in an area of water restrictions. I guess this is the one time that the other members here have discovered my major weakness: If I ever camped for a few days in an RV park that had a rule of no washing, assuming I had a large number of the critters dead on the front of my trailer, then I am going to wash them off there. I have never done so because the situation has not arisen. But now y'all know what a dastardly individual I could be.

I also do the bucket thing.. I find I can take a wet rag and wipe truck and dry immediately working small areas at a time and keep truck clean with no water mess.. I also dip my scrub brush with extension pole in bucket of water and clean bugs off front of fiver.. Work small section at a time and use another extension pole with silicone squeegee and remove water.. It's not perfect but it gets most off

And, after I finish cleaning my trailer with good ole' waterless aircraft cleaner I take my air compressor and blow the dust out of all the Robertson screw heads!

I have used this stuff http://www.amazon.com/32oz-Optimum-R.../dp/B000E9TS6O with good success - just a little in a bucket of water, or, for a smaller job like bugs on the front, a couple ounces with water in a spray bottle and a rag works well .....

Full timers here going on two and half years...we have found approximately 90% of the places stayed do not allow washing. About 5% of the places want a fee of $10.00 for tow vehicle and RV. After asking at the $10.00 places they usually say go ahead and don't charge. They want you to have a nozzle on the end of your hose as opposed to letting the water run freely!

Most all will let motorhomes wash their windshield, and in turn let you wash the cap of your fifth wheel.
