How do you wash your motorhome?

[The Wino]

You can play tennis with one good shoulder, but I find hanging on the ladder whilst operating a long handled brush requires two!

I wouldn't mind cleaning the ladder bit myself and the lower down bit being done by someone else! Presumably do the bits at the bottom?

Are you offering?

 

[The Wino]

Are you offering?

I'll do the top of both you can do the bottom of both it will be easier than persuading the wife and less risky!

Just been on local news if we don’t have a wet winter, the ban will last well in to 2023 I’m washing it well before then let me tell you

But your water rates will stay the same.

 

[The Old Man]

And what about the motorhome?

LOL

As per title, how do you wash your motorhome with a hosepipe ban in force? The response from the water company is “well we need the water for more important things like drinking, washing etc”
I get that, but I can take it down the road and let some foreign guys wash it using water out of the same mains pipe providing I pay them some money. That to me is NOT saving the water to use for drinking and washing!!
I AM on a meter btw
Better buy a watering can and a big bucket (which I’m guessing chucking buckets of water (which IS allowed) haphazardly to rinse it off will use more water than the hosepipe with a trigger gun that can be directed in the right places
Rant over

Maybe a little less rant and more elbow grease? This stuff works well: Meguiars G3626EU Ultimate Waterless Wash & Wax 768ml Anywhere Quick Shine.

From what I have read, unless the rain steps up its act, even the "foreign guys" are going to be turned off . . .

I hate having a dirty motorhome.
Fortunately no hose pipe ban here.
It is usually washed after each trip, even if it is a just a weekend away.
I even bring some waterless wash with me on holiday "just in case"
My car however can sometimes go for months between washes!

I am planning going to the truck wash at Lympne. A mate takes his artic there regularly and asked about motorhomes and they said they can do it. It's the roof that I can't really do justice to, plus the solar panels up there are covered in bird droppings....

In Fairness lenny you’ve got a bloody big stream running between you and France

That bloody big stream is full of thanks to Southern Water!

We are practically next-door to Lenny HB and no sign of our hosepipe ban ending! Good job we have a dark grey PVC, but Barry does go over it with a microfibre mop thingy before every trip, and makes sure the solar panel is clean. 'Irene' has never had a waxing or polish in her life!

In Hythe we don't have a hosepipe ban and never had one this year.

I thought that was what the rain was for. Luckily my motorhome is light grey (described as silver) and always looks clean, from a distance anyway.

No bans here, not had any this year.

Are we meant to wash them? Thought you just bought another when it gets too dirty.

Would normally but deliveries are too long at the moment.

 

[ElliesBoss]

I drive three miles down the road to my step daughter's house. Her area hasn't got a hosepipe ban.

Mine is sort of grey/silver don't really know until I wash it

I give a very nice lady £80 and it gets cleaned while I brew up in the back.

There may well have been a day when the lady had joined you in the back and still charged £80

Watch the nice guys down the local Asda car park,they have been doing a good job on our cars but one lazy afternoon decided to take the MH. A few days later notice the decal one side was peeling at one of the edges. A few weeks later damp appeared below one of the windows due to the seal breaking down. Expensive mistake and will not let a jetwasher anywhere near now.
Telescopic brush and buckets ever since.

Use the water from your motorhome
