washing new 5th wheel

Hello.. have been the proud owners of our new Bighorn for just over 3 weeks..it is the first 5th wheel we have owned with a gel coat..of course, my husband wants to wash it:D! the owners manual says use nothing with wax in it...seems that is all there is when we looked for RV wash..suggestions for what works for you would be very much appreciated.

I have a 3950 with the gelcoat and use a washing/wax concentrate from camping world to wash it and it does fine. If you talk to Maguires they will tell you to use their gel coat formula that is also used on gel coat boats. I have a sailboat that I have had for 18 years and have only used car wax on it on it's gelcoat surface and it still looks fine. I use this RV wash/wax now to wash and the Maguires gel coat formula now (new product) to do the outside. If you look at some of the boat supply companies they also have a gelcoat formula to "wax" it.

I use "Dry Wash" it is really great for fulltimers since campgrounds won't usually let you wash your rig at your site. I can clean a small amount of the coach or do it all at once, just spray it on rub it with a terrycloth rag then buff with a microfiber cloth. It's really "easy-on & easy-off". There are many distributors around the country or you can do a search on google for "Dry Wash" and you'll find it.
