Well, keeping that coach clean is either a matter of:

1.) paying a professional company to periodically wash your coach while on the road. They will use de-ionized water and will leave the coach spotless and clean. Of course you will be lighter in the wallet area by $200-$400, and you won't do it every week. I have learned something in the past 3 years...... maybe not everywhere, but everywhere I have traveled, falling rain is soft (e.g. soft water)(so it doesn't usually spot).... water out of the ground often is hard, so doing it yourself is a waste of time if you do it with ground water.

or

2.) buy or make a de-ionizing water treatment system, take it with you in the bus, and do it yourself. A good system will cost you about $400 and will take up a lot of space in the basement unless you do it right or make one along the lines of the de-ionizer that has been described here on this forum. With either of these options, you will expend a little effort and have a coach that looks as good as the professionals make it look.

All of that is worth the cost to own a dark colored exterior coach, in my opinion, which look fantastic !!!

Congratulations on your new rig. Yes, the F150 Super Crew is a handy toad. We previously towed a Honda CRV which was nice but we really like the F150.

Congratulations and you will love your Cornerstone!

We use an F150 for our toad with a Leer topper for the bed and it's like having another bay!

Congratulations !

We also have a new Entegra on order (Aspire), but we won't get ours until somewhere near the end of October.

Plan #2 was my choice. I consider the work therapy. Of course, there are those who believe I NEED therapy.

That's not bad - I ordered my Aspire in October of 2014 and did not pick it up until the end of April, 2015. That's a long dang time to wait.
