Hi, All!
I have a Northern Lite 8-11 EX CD camper on a Chevy Silverado 3500 pickup. (…it’s my most recent RV in a decades-long chain of vehicles starting with a 1959 VW Micro-Bus)
My query is about washing the camper after (or during?) a long road trip; a process that seems to have gotten more cumbersome over the years.
I’m wondering what the pros and cons would be of taking my rig to an automatic “Truck Wash,” one of the large facilities that appear along the major routes along a road trip — obviously intended for cleaning big Semi-Trucks, or at least that seemed to be what their original intent was when I first started noticing them many years ago.
Of course I’m wary of subjecting my rig to any “automated” washing process that involves large moving brushes or sprayers, as the top of my camper has many things mounted on it: three hinged vent covers (one of them a “Fantastic Fan”) along with the refrigerator vent, an antenna, and 7 mounted solar panels with the accompanying wiring.
I’m curious to hear about any experiences other camper owners might be able to share about this.
Thanks very much!
