erniee Report post Posted December 14, 2019 I put the coach on hold. I discussed this with the client. We would love to make the rally, wouldn't even get to operating temps, but we have plans to be a Riverview Campground on the Mississippi River for a rally in Feb. 2020, after June, we will be able to travel more as Brenda retired July 31 this year but I had clients booked for flooring till then.

Bill I didn't get a chance to wash, cover or park in it's winter spot. Other than that they fixed everything and more. Roof looks great they even installed the extended gutters, the cameras finally work all the time so far. The couch extension roller was replaced because of a shoddy weld. They put down a piece of carpet under it, I guess peeps were complaining that the roller eventually started leaving marks on the floor, can't really see it. Then I completely forgot about 2 cabinets pistons that were ripped out because they were too tight. They replaced those. When I did pick it up the door piston was snapped off but Campers Inn fixed that. Except for communication it went well. I can finally sleep at night knowing our investment is in the driveway, maybe sleep through the winter.....ya right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dbenoit Report post Posted December 22, 2019 DW said get a power washer for the coach. Then she adds all the other items, shutters, deck, etc. I was looking at the smaller electric ones. Gas is out of the equation. I saw some on amazon that look pretty good. Nice and light and easy to move around. Bombard me with suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rossboyer Report post Posted December 22, 2019 I use one a few times a year to clean my radiator from the rear besides my annual from the front cleaning. Be careful too much pressure could bend the radiator core fins. I spray about a 10” fan from about 2 feet away. Mine is electric with pressure if 1,650 pounds. Bought at big box store on sale for $60. Good to clean wheels, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildebill308 Report post Posted December 22, 2019 Power washers can be a useful tool but like all tools only when used properly. Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dbenoit Report post Posted December 22, 2019 I launched from a ladder using one. One if the reasons for an electric. Small jobs, don’t need excessive psi. Saw some at lowes today that looked ok. What is too much pressure? Looking at 1500-2200 psi, adjustable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted December 22, 2019 I have an electric "suitcase" washer from Home Depot, yes it came in a plastic suitcase, it is 1,200 psi, which is enough for me. It is very handy to carry/store in a bay. I took it along on our Alaska trip, by the time we returned to Sumas WA, nearly everyone in the caravan had borrowed it.

wayne77590 Report post Posted December 23, 2019 I have a 2500 psi gas one here at the S&B I used it only once on the coach and a few times on the TOAD. Most all come with different nozzles. Mine has two tanks for solutions and in order for the solution to come out of the nozzle it has to be the "black" one which is the lowest pressure one. Even then I kept the nozzle end 4-5 feet away from the coach or TOAD. Worked fine - but I was not comfortble using it. Most mobile RV wash people use one for cleaning and I have had mine done several times over the years with no problems. The key is, keep your distance, even with a water hose. Not a lot of pressure is needed to rinse a vehicle. Even with a pressure washer some time of cloth or brush is needed on the RV to get the dirt off. Just pressure alone will not do it and considering that I prefer "Wash Wax All" water-less wash. Does a great job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
