Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash. Available at Costco. Works great I may use up to 2 cap fulls for my 27.

Meguiars Gold Class Car Wash here as well. Although any decent soap designed for car wash use would be fine. Just make sure to stay away from dish soap, that will strip any wax that you have on your trailer. I Walbernize mine 2x a year.

Same here...one step wash and wax with Meguiars! I also use a soft brush..been doing it this way for 3 AS's now...no issues. I only wipe off the window areas with a soft fiber cloth...rest of the AS never streaks...Meguiars with Carnauba wax is great stuff!

I discovered WaterStik SD and am really happy with the results. No more having to dry the trailer after washing. My trailer looks amazing when I use it. It's pricey to purchase, but in my book well worth it.

Meguiars Gold Class car wash here too. I also use a CR Spotless deionizer that produces pure, mineral free water for washing and rinsing. I can suds up the coach with a long handled brush, rinse it down, walk away and it air dries to a spot free shine. Huge time saver and great results.

I like Meguiar's Ultimate Wash & Wax for AS. Gold is also great. Use it on car and truck.
