Turtle wash and wax

I use the turtle wax wash and wax on roof and sides about $6.00 gallon jug at Wally World.
Be careful on the roof after applying it does get slippery.

When I want to strip everything of the surface and start from scratch, I use TNT (ZEP Truck & Trailer Wash). My cousin, who owned an RV repair business in Mass (RV's-R-US), used this before waxing a rig. It works well, but caution must be used when using it. Makes short work of removing everything from the surface.

That is gorgeous, I was gonna buy that Tiffin too; but do you know how much it was gonna cost to replace the tires; not to mentioned the added cost of the additional TPMS sensors

I can't imagine actually owning one. You have to pay to keep it in an enclosed air-conditioned facility, pay to have it wash and waxed all the time, pay people to drive it around in and out of the shops & dealerships. Worst part is having someone drive it to Florida for you and set it up while you fly down a few days later to spend a night at some campsite that had no opening; but since you paid up they magically found you one right on the lake on driver side of coach and with an ocean view on the passenger

We rented a 40 Fleetwood before buying, I can assure you those owners don't seek or need any more benefits, but there is one thing they may like. All donations made to the 50 Amp Homeowners Club are Tax Deductible

Disclaimer: To any Poster or Reader that may actually own one of these

So what you got against keeping your feet on solid ground? I guess you will have no problem getting up on the roof? I ain't jumping from a plane unless it is on fire heading to a mountain. I have tried to Scuba dive; but too much gear. I don't trust the people up on deck with my life with the oxygen tanks. My luck I will get an empty one Besides when I am below the water in an ocean like that, it is amazing how every fish looks like a shark

I am glad you RV'ng something safe

btw, I finally finished waxing the entire coach today. Day 1 Full Driver Side (1.5hr). Day 2 Rear of coach (1 hr) Day 3 two/thirds of Passenger side (1 hr), Day 4 one/third of Passenger side .5 hr) , Day 5 the front (.5hr) . I didn't encounter any black streaks The rear of my coach is the dirtiest due to exhaust from generator and it is also the hardest to clean due to ladder. While I am on a roll, weather permitting I may go ahead a re- wax the roof. If for no other reason to help withstand the July / August Texas heat. I don't put the 303 on the roof, but I may experiment with putting some 303 on the AC Covers?

I use Meguiar’s Hybrid Ceramic Detailer – Remove Contaminants, Boost Gloss & Enhance Protection. It takes off the black streaks

No I don't, I use it to take off the black streaks, I just carry two towels and spray and wipe and the motorhome can be done in an hour less if the wife does the bottom. If I could still use my stilts I could do it in a half hour. Now because of the stilts I need two knee replacements

How do you determine what type roof? Rubber or Fiberglass? I have a roof on my THOR ACE 30.4 that seems to be a thin sheet fiber that can move about. Is this a Fiberglass roof? I have cleaned with a mild soap and would like to reseal around trim. Any suggestions
