Do you
1. Hand wash
2.Use a home power washer
3.Go thru a commercial washer
4. None of the above. Ours has never been washed. We keep it outside, not under a cover and mother nature does a pretty good job of keeping it clean. I will take a better look in late April when we go for our first camp of the season, but it looked pretty good to me last year when we were camping.

We hand wash with automotive car wash soap.
Then about twice a year we hand wax with automotive wax.
The wax seems to make the bugs and grime wash off easily.
We hand wash our camper. Wax it twice a year, too. After towing all day, wash front of camper and tow vehicle at end of day.
I wash it once a season at least usually before storage and never waxed it. I use automotive soap. I also use a telescoping pole it's easier than using only a sponge
IMHO, the seals on the windows and the openings for the furnace and water heater are no place for high pressure power wash, whether at home or at the car wash. I hand wash with Rainex car wash to get the bugs and road grime off after most trips. Hand wax once per year with NuFinsh. But never the roof! I use 303 Protectant in the spring and fall on all plastic and windows, including the plastic parts on the roof. Our camper still looks new and I find a certain satisfaction in caring for it. I don't think of it as an onerous job at all.
I also use car wash, then LucasOil Slickmist detailer after dying.
On the rare occasion that I wash the rig, I use "simply green", works great and does a good job.
I use the RV Wash/Hand wash about 3 times per year. I wax it as well once every late Spring with the RV wax. I clean the awning as prescribe in the cleaning directions that came with the awning the same time I wash the TT.
I hand wash my 21BHS a few times a year with automotive liquid soap, especially after each trip to get the bugs off. I use 303 Aerospace protectant on all rubber seals. I use Zymol liquid car wax or Meguiars Quik-wax (spray wax) if I'm in a rush.

Same as Driversteve. Use a brush and car wash soap then wax early in the year and before it gets stored in the in-laws barn for the winter.
We haven't washed it yet. The dealer does some sort of wash whenever it's in for service, no extra charge. Not sure what they do, so...
