cleaning RV My first job at an RV dealership was washing RVs when I was 15 years-old. It was amazing to me how dirty they would get sitting on the sales lot. I washed a lot of RVs back then and I am still washing RVs today, so I would say I have a great deal of of experience in this area. 

I learned a few tips on washing RVs back in the day, but I can tell you there are no top secret cleaners or cleaning techniques for keeping your RV’s exterior looking new. It’s really not much different from maintaining the exterior of your automobile. You wash it, wax it and use products designed to protect surfaces like vinyl, plastic and fiberglass. The only secret, which really isn’t a secret at all, is to use lots of elbow grease and thoroughly clean the RV every time it gets dirty. This usually means  after returning from a trip, and if it stays outside, after a month or two of being exposed to the elements.

When you are traveling and camping in your RV the exterior gets dirty quickly. The key to keeping your RV exterior looking new is to clean it often. If you allow bugs, dirt and black streaks to stay on the exterior surface too long it can be extremely difficult to remove.

Let’s look at my top 5 RV DIY exterior cleaning tips to keep your RV exterior looking new.

It’s important you know how tall your RV is so you can clear obstacles without guessing if you will make it. RVs have two types of height clearances, soft and hard. An example of a soft clearance would be the radio antenna. An example of a hard clearance would be the roof air conditioner. If the radiao antenna hits an overhead obstruction there would be little or no damage to the RV, but if  the roof air conditioner hits an obstacle there will be lots of damage.
