Has anyone ever filled up their freshwater tank and gone to a large empty parking lot (like a school on the weekends) and cleaned their trailer?
We use the Blue Beacon multiple times a year. Price varies from a high of $64 in New Jersey to a low of $48 in Carlisle, PA. That is truck, trailer and the Rain-X rinse. 8 people doing a wash in 20 minutes or so. The pit boss will do an inspection with you if you like when done and they will touch up anything missed. They once knocked off a marker light lens and offered to reimburse me for a new lens (I declined, the lens was already cracked, which is why it came off so easy).
Of the half dozen or so different Blue Beacons we've used I have found all employees to be friendly and courteous.
The last trip through I removed the center caps on the truck. With the caps on the wheels don't get as clean as they could be. And since my truck had not been washed since before winter I noticed the windshield was only really clean where the wiper hit. Something for me to point out next time through.
Blue Beacon also offers a under chassis 'salt' rinse
I have waited up to an hour for our run through the wash, but once you have had both shoulders operated on the lost time and money spent become just another expense of the lifestyle.
The best part for me is that just about every trip we come home from south of New Jersey has us passing a Blue Beacon 28 miles from our house. So we most always comes home with a clean rig.
And Blue Beacon - there's an app for that

Our one "dog camp" we attend is off the pavement and down a typical NE PA gravel and cinder road, about 2 miles or so. The truck and trailer get real dusty there, even doing only a couple miles per hour. I will stop at the first pull off I can after leaving camp and rinse the truck and trailer off with on board water.
