Default Washing the Motorhome

Just spent an hour washing the motorhome. I just dont feel the same about washing the M/H as the car. I quite enjoy washing and polishing the car, but find it hard to find the enthusiasm to spend the same amount of time on what I see as a big van.

I get more of a kick out of doing the bus myself (it's my baby) although a few hours work

Loads of work but with the right brushes and equipment find the big flat side easy.

everytime you clean it you remove a minute layer of paint.
Want a respray? or a dirty van, besides enough rain to keep it clean in Britain.

Hi Andyman
I'm just the opposite, I like cleaning my M/H & its 35ft long and I also love cleaning my motorbike.

But I hate cleaning cars I'd rather scrap the bloody things than polish them.
Just to prove it I've just spent 2 days washing and waxing the Rv ready to go off to Morocco, next week on a 8 week trip.

Guess what 1 hour after finishing it's p****** it down
