Wasn't there a picture here a few weeks ago of a guy pulling his 5th wheel backwards, maybe he did that to keep bugs off the front cap.

Rejex for some protection and a laundry dryer sheet with hot water for removal.

Also heard that spraying Pam (that cooking spray) would prevent the bugs from sticking. Maybe this goes in line with the bat urine approach

I use Gel-Gloss on the front section of my tt. On longer (1000 mile +) trip I'll make sure the front face is freshly done. I'll also hit the front of my tow vehicle with Meguires Gold Class liquid wax. Even after a 2 week trip 95% of the bugs come off with a simple hand wash when I get home. But wetting down the bugged up area before hand washing helps even more. Traded in my last SUV tow vehicle after 9 seasons and the front looked brand new.

Damp Bounce dryer sheet will cut them off pretty easily. I used them on the front of my Montana before I sold it. I use them now on the front of my truck or my wife's car.

I have not had a good laugh for awhile. On a more serious note if you cannot use any of the suggestions so far I have a method to make them easy to clean off. I purchase 2 pints of hydrogen peroxide and then use spray bottle and thoroughly soak the area keeping it wet as long as possible. After several minutes use a soft brush on a pole with a little soap and water. Problem solved. I'll be watching to see if anyone comes up with a good answer to your question

I am not sure the differences, but I use a hydrogen peroxide to strip paint off of aluminum boats. It has no environmental hold backs , and it works well.
I don't know if there is some difference in the household stuff?
