Was just wondering how often we should be doing it.

We got it in September and I've only washed it once, we went away in October and had to pitch under a tree and the site was a little muddy so when the weather & time allowed I washed it to get all the dirt off. It has now been sitting on the drive since then and hasn't got dirty as such but has a few black water marks on it...so do I need to wash these off regularly? Also do you wash it before you go away or just when you come back?

Sorry if this sounds daft!

Thanks

Autumn. Spring. And whenever it needs a spruce in between. We usually give it a once over, just before we go away, as well. We also polish all over in spring.

You clean it when it comes out of storage, before you leave for the site, when you arrive on the site, when you leave the site, when you get home and any other time in between that you think it needs it.

If you're really sad - otherwise you can be like me and clean it when it looks like it needs it or when she tells me to do it. LOL 

I clean mine before I go away, and by the time I get on site its usually in a worse state than before I left. I never learn.

you and me both mate, have the thing glittering on the drive then 100 miles later it si manky. then i wash the thing again on site. hate it looking dirty on site 

usually every fortnight , amazing how dirty the roof gets , and of course it always runs down the sides and front and streaks it so you have to do the lot.

and always wash and polish before a trip away

and usually a quick wash down on site if its been bad weather on the way and its got dirty.

not that im paranoid about having a clean van.........

or car , but thats another story

Thanks everyone, I think I may give ours a quick once over before we go away in April if the weather is good. Never even considered that the side could be too dirty to put the awning up .

Need hubby to do the roof though, when I did it last time I couldn't reach even on steps with a long handled brush!

Doesn't a clean van look nicer?

my thoughts exactly.
