We don't stay long in any one place.
We travel a lot, (from Nov. through April), sometimes staying only one night, (but sometimes a long as a month), somewhere in MS, LA, TX, NM, AZ and/or CA.

This is to update my drying process on my rig. I purchased a large squeegee with a telescoping pole. I wash and dry about 1/4 of the coach at a time to prevent drying and spotting. First I go across the flat panels with the squeegee by itself, then to finish it off, I take a large "the Absorber" (imitation chamois) which you can get from the Walmart automotive section. I use 4 bag clips (made from plastic clothes hangers) 2 on the ends and 2 in the center to keep the chamois from sliding. The enables the squeegee to be used sideways if needed. Works good. Just thought I'd share. HTHs rockin'

At the NW FMCA rally we were told to take a 1 gal garden sprayer and add 1 oz of Jet-Dry to the water (more if you still get spots) spray a small area and dry with a cloth.
Going to give it a try when they get through building new houses right next door and the dust settles!

+1 on leaf blower, a big benefit is that it blows off the water drops from the awnings and windows. Great for the wheels also.
I am going to try to add an extension to the tube so I don't need a ladder.

Yeah thanks Mr. D. drfife suggested the Jet Dry on page one. Sounded like he added it to the wash water.

The leaf blower sounds good, but we FT and that's alot to carry with you.

I'm another that uses Deionized water. There is no drying what so ever! Never leaves a spot on paint or glass.
