I like how the video description says "We use a set of steps", but what a set of steps it is! I was expecting a flimsy stepladder! 🤣

Crikey, what a difference, I reckon that you added £1,000 to the value of that caravan by just cleaning it. That gantry made the roof job a lot easier though! I enjoy cleaning my caravan and I note that like me you do NOT use a pressure washer, which I have seen many dealer's doing! Thanks for posting.

It's just funny how water cleans it but it's also water that causes it ? If only there was a solution.

Great video as usual Mark. Is there a particular make of caravan that is more prone to cracking than others? We've got a Bailey Phoenix. How do you fix any cracking that you do find?

Your bailey is ok as no structural plastic panels. They can be plastic welded but normally expensive to fix.

Ha,ha,think I’m gonna go with White Spirits…also,heads up to ya,you know them push up roof vents,the white flimsy plastic ones…well,they were all yellowed to hell on our van,(it’s 20 years old) anyways,I had to get a LOAD of sticky roof tape off them,and I mean a load (it’s like putty in tape form) so,I used White spirits,the side benefit being,it de-yellows the plastic and has brought them up like BRAND NEW ! Bonus !…cheers.

Wats ur opinion on power washing I think I bad for seals I personally wash mine like u brush and hose rinse I saw a video on KZitem a few months back of a guy power washing his caravan I got slated for suggesting it was not good

Yes never use a power washer near the seals, if you are very careful you can use them but it can damage the seals and also the windows. We don't use a power washer to clean our vans.

Never use pressure washers on statics or tourers it will damage the seals.and cause water ingress and never use a brush on the windows it will scratch the acrylic windows. I have been in the trade for 20 years I use a water fed pole with pure water so I don’t get the water marks left on the van and all my customers are happy with the result.

Hi, generally we don't. But if we do need to we use t cut or similar to cut the surface back and then a polish to give the shine and protection. Most car products will do it.
