A pressure washer is absolutely fine if you know how to use it.
Obviously you don't get up close with a 3000 psi pressure washer and a 0° nozzle.....
But if you're using common sense and you don't want to spend all day washing your RV a pressure washer is a great handy tool to use.
Between the foam Cannon hookup and the pressure washer 35° nozzle your set you can have an entire 30 ft camper done in a half hour.
Look at how the pros do it..

We use MATCC car wash mop. Made of soft brush bristles to safely clean painted surfaces. Another thing to love about this brush is that it can extend to a length of 62 inches. Such a long handle is more than enough for any person of average height to reach the roofline of any RV without even needing a ladder.

Gabe’s Pride RV Streaker Cleaner

I have recently been introduced to a product which has proven it self in my experimenting to outperform all the off the shelf cleaners commonly found at RV supply centers’. This product can be used in a foam cannon, soft bristle brush or spray bottle and wiped off. This product is highly concentrated, easy to use just follow the directions. Several YouTube videos for your viewing pleasure. I’ll let my pictures convenience you

On the first pic. bugs from two weeks of purposely setting out in the sun for my experiment and treated with Streaker Cleaner diluted and applied with a spray bottle, left to contact for five minutes. Check out the streaks from the bugs being lifted off the surface.
Second pic. after wiping with a damp microfiber towel followed by a dry microfiber towel.
Third is of a spot tried on the roof membrane after using one of those off the shelf roof cleaners.

Tools for cleaning
Pressure washer 40 degree or greater wand tip
Foam cannon
Soft bristle brush
1 extension handle
1 spin mop head (made of microfiber))
3 buckets one rinse water, one spin mop bucket for ringing out the rinse water, one cleaner soap solution
My preferred method is pressure wash rinse starting at the bottom and working up, foam cannon cleaner application, bucket one rinse mop, bucket two ring out rinse water, bucket three cleaner soap, work cleaner soap mop over foamed area repeat bucket steps until area is clean, rinse area with pressure wash. Then foam down the whole unit with a wash and wax, allow some contact time, careful do not allow foamed area not to dry and pressure wash rinse.
Until Gabes Pride comes up with a Wash N Wax, I like using Chemical Guys Extreme Bodywash and Wax or Snow Foam
Takes about an hour and half.

My method is simple. ArmorAll Ultra Wash & Wax, one bucket and a sponge mop from the dollar store. The mop has a squeeze handle and the forward edge of the mop has a scrubby attached.

Put a nozzle on the hose and fill the bucket. Add one glug of the wash/wax to the bucket, rinse down the area to be washed, stick mop in bucket and wash away. Use the sponge on most of the trailer, flip it over to use the scrubby on the black streaks. Rinse before the soap drys. Go to next section, repeat.

The ArmourAll does an excellent number on the black streaks and leaves a good shine.
