Thanks for the post and experiences. I have a BB about 45 minutes from me and was thinking of trying this once. Sounds like a good option especially during the colder months.

Your cut to fit bubble wrap is completely encased in aluminum foil? Do you have to squish it in when adding the outside panel? Has this completely eliminated water entry via the fridge vent? Thanks!

Some BBs have wipe down service for a small fee. They do a good job and I tip accordingly.
The awning and slide toppers will drip a while, but water spots only show until the next heavy wind in AZ.
They ain't hurt my old bird.

My insert is cut to the same size as the fridge access cover. All that is needed is coverage of the vent whole area to stop the pressure spray from hitting the electrical components. I just pop it out after the wash when I do a walk-around inspection before leaving their lot.

I just received the following reply from Blue Beacon in reply to an email to them inquiring about washing a RV roof.

(Ouote):
Thank you for contacting us concerning washing your RV. I’m sorry, but we do not wash the roofs of vehicles, trailers, or motorhomes. We spray what we can from a standing position using a long wash wand. At the end of the wash, we use our overhead rinse to rinse the roof. I’ve included information about a few other RV details that we are frequently asked and a screen shot of additional RV wash information from our website.

• Our employees use long wash wands to spray warm soapy water on the vehicle. We do have soft-bristled brushes the employee can use to brush areas that need it. Brushing is not part of our normal wash process, but please do not hesitate to ask for it if you want it.

• We offer hand-drying at a few specific locations in the Southwest. Casa Grande, AZ - Eloy East, AZ - Phoenix, AZ - Barstow, CA

• We do not open or wash the sides of sliders, or allow rigs to be opened up once they are inside of our facilities. We wash each vehicle or trailer just as it is when it enters our wash bay.

• If you have a tow vehicle and want it washed, it is an additional charge. If you do not want it washed, we will only wash your camper trailer and then rinse any overspray from your towed vehicle.

• We operate on a first come, first served basis, and customers are required to stay with their vehicles while they are being washed. We operate similar to a "quick-lube oil change" facility. Customers wait in our customer lounge, which has a window where they can watch their vehicle being washed. We are open 24/7.

Thank you for considering Blue Beacon for your RV washing needs. If we can be of further assistance, please just let us know.

Sincerely,

Sheila
