To cover or not

Meguires Gold Wash and Wax, Turtle Wax Wash and Wax, those are the only wash and wax products they make that I know of, I get them both at Wal Mart. After washing I use a leaf blower to dry the coach, very few water spots except on the dark tinted windows.

Aww man the leaf blower is a great idea I hadn't thought of that. I have a back pack blower that will really work well for that I think. I'm still not sure on the wash & wax combo. There are more than one. Would you mind snapping a picture of the two you use and posting them please?

Many people forget that outside water sources Bypass your water softner that is a huge issue for washing any vehicle Hard Water Spots.
I did have a spigot rerouted to my garage from softner...Mega Difference.

There was a company out there that made a kit for washing vehicles and it included a filter that when used during rinsing would dry without leaving water spots. Internet a good place to search.

Finally made it out to the garage. This is what I mix:

Can you provide the information on your cover please?
I just washed and waxed my 24.1 Axis and would like to try a cover on it this winter. I live in Atlanta, Georgia and the southern sun exposure was hard on the finish last year especially above the window and the interior liner on the curtains fell to pieces.
I'm parking it the opposite direction this year!
Thanks!!!

I was dealing with a nice gentleman by phone and when he found out where I lived, he directed me to a local dealer where I could see the units and deal with them direct. Very good installation crew came and erected the structure in one day. You can build and select your style and size of RV port online as well.

Steven - we're moving to Port St. Lucie, FL and would like to put the same kind of RV port that you have. Did your cost include the concrete pad or just the RV port? Would you mind sharing your dimensions and how much extra width and height you would recommend building into the RV port? I don't want to make it too big, but also want to be able to maneuver it in comfortably with no spotter. Thanks!

The cost that I quoted in my post was just for the RV port and installation. I paid an additional 4200.00 for the driveway and pad. So the total project cost was around 8,000.00
My ACE is 31’ overall length so I built a 36’x16’ structure. The width I chose because it allows me to run the slides out and open any compartment doors fully all at the same time with no clearance issues. Also with the additional overhang it provides additional sun and rain protection. My RV port faces west to east length ways. So I had 6’ (2 panels) on the south side and only 3’ or one panel on the North side. I found a white mesh sunscreen tarp online that I use as sun protection on the front opening that faces due west.
Hope this helps
