RV cleaning tools

The proper tools can make the often difficult job of cleaning the exterior of your RV much less tedious.

Before washing your vehicle, experts advise owners to research and purchase the things they'll need, including cleaners, buckets, scrub brushes, sponges and drying items.

RV manufacturers and dealers often recommend certain cleaning and protecting products. Camping World.com customers have rated Thetford's Premium Black Streak Remover, 303 Aerospace Protectant, Protect All Quick and Easy Wash and Voom Gold as must-have items for exterior cleaning and maintenance.

A good-sized bucket, such as the Collapsible RV brush bucket, will help make this chore easier as well. This five-gallon bucket is made of high density, waterproof polyester fabric with PVC coating and fits all brushes available on CampingWorld.com. It also folds up for easy storage and transport.

Laitner's Chenille Mop 3-Pack Bonus Kit may be a good choice for cleaning as well. It comes with a 54-inch telescopic handle for hard-to-reach places as well as three different bonnets for all of your cleaning needs – chenille to lift dirt and grime, microfiber for gentle cleaning and a mesh scrubber for tough jobs.
