Cleaning Coach

I have washed my truck with turtle Wax wash and Wax for the last 7 years. It still shines like new. I had my Fuzion 383 TE 11 washed last fall with the same stuff. and other than just normal dust it looks shiny as ever. In every ones honest opion is this enough to keep the camper in good shape or do they have to be hand waxed. I have rumitoid artheritis as well as ostio, it is hard for me to climb on a latter or raise my arms above my shoulders. Thanks George

My bride of 42 years has RA and everyday is an adventure. Good or bad days we keep traveling with the RV, wouldn't have it any other way.

Reference cleaning, After the initial wash and wax I use Bounce dryer sheets to clean the bugs off to keep it looking new, works really well.

Call me crazy, but I wash my Copper Canyon after every trip! Did the same with our older King of the Road, we are four season campers and got some looks washing the King down in 35 degree weather, after a tow over the coast range in snow.
I have a soft washing brush on an extendable 8' handle, took about 20 minutes for the King, about 30 for the Copper Canyon. Use the Turtle wax wash wax, it never goes away dirty.

Thumbs up Crazy

Okay Russ, your crazy! Maybe your just OCD, my wife is, or maybe, just maybe your one of those people who just takes care of your things since you worked hard to obtain them. I would guess the latter. Ours gets a good cleaning on the inside after every trip but only gets washed just before every trip to get the black streaks off and any left over bugs. I'm going to try the turtle wax next time. Have a great day.

Sandy43 I do know how your wife feels good days can be great bad days can be very painful and very bad. We full time and take each day as it comes and are in the planning stage of our summer travels. We have been in Texas for the winter but it is starting to get hot so it is time to head to the mountains.

Thanks for the input a great bunch of guys here.George
