I would be afraid of blasting off the decorative graphics. They seem to be somewhat prone to departing
on their own under various stressful circumstances.

+1 on the graphics warning, but if you're careful you should be okay. I spray mine down pretty good to get it wet, then take one of those soft microfiber brushes on a pole continually dipped in a bucket of soapy water to get rid of the film. When I'm done I'll rinse top to bottom with the pressure washer from a couple of feet out. I try to avoid hard spray on any of the gaskets too.

I would think if you stayed away from the window/door/hatch seals and body seams..it would be OK..
But, we just get it wet, spray with "Awesome", brush/scrub with soft RV scrubber wand, rinse. Takes about 10 minutes. Takes me longer than that to get my PW out, hooked up, and running.. |

I just use the garden hose at a low pressure and use a foam brush on an adjustable handle. I really don't want the graphics to loosen. Goose

I do the same as Goose. Works just fine for us.

As usual I am with Goose, I got one of the brushes with soft and firm bristles from camping world, it has the extendable handle. I use Maguires products and low pressure water and have had good luck.
