Wash trailer without water?
I store my tt at a facility that does not have water. Many campgrounds don’t want you washing at their camp. So, how are you guys cleaning your rigs if you have the same situation as me? Truck stops?

Self serve car wash. One bay is usually large enough for an RV.

This has been in my Amazon wish list for a while.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GG9FB8U...v_ov_lig_dp_it
I haven't purchased any yet, but it's got pretty solid reviews.

I agree. I’ve been using this on my Seneca and it works great. We also use it inside on counters, shower and doors, glass etc.
I bought their double head mop and a painter pole to wash/wax the upper area of the motorhome. Mop head was kind of pricey but I like not having to pull the ladder out just for a quick cleaning.

We use this as well as you don’t always have a water source. It’s good stuff

A 5 gal pail from Home depot. A 6 gal water jug from WalMart. 6 Gal of water from home. A spray bottle of "Spray 9". A sponge mop from anywhere, and a 1 quart plastic bottle.
Spray the bad spots with the cleaner. Wash down with the mop and rinse with the water. Add a second rinse with water in the little bottle.
Our RV is set up on a mountain with no utilities. We've been washing it this way for 32 years.

Guess I'm the cheap guy, I just use a couple gallons of CG water in a bucket and a wash rag and a towel to dry the TT off. Never had a complaint from the CG's, I usually wax the TT while camping since it's set up and I'm looking for something to do so I just give it a good wipe down prior to waxing.

Wash trailer without water?
I’ve been at a few campgrounds that don’t allow you to wash your camper onsite but for some reason they allow a few select companies to wash campers onsite. I have paid the companies they allow onsite to do it. It hasn’t been expensive and they have always done a good job. This was in TN and SC.... I normally wash mine at home where I keep it but these were longer trips where I didn’t like my camper being dirty from the trip.
Maybe ask your campsite if they have a company who is allowed to wash your camper...

After being out on the road for almost two years now... we find the same practice. The KOA or RV Park has a strict rule posted "NO Washing RV's in campsites" But the next day, here is a guy washing the RV next to us... his truck says "Bubba Jim's RV mobile Wash and taxidermy" on the side and the RV park people in their golf carts all know Bubba Jim!
Oh... and BTW, Bubba Jim did a great job on our Seneca!!! in our camp space at the KOA - highly recommended!

Hydrashot? What good is it? It requires a water connection. Obviously, doesn't meet the need of this thread.
BTW, spent the weekend at camp and did the annual Spring cleaning. It took 3 1/2 gal of water, a bucket, a 1/2 spray can of Boat 9, and 2 sponge mops. Took me about 45 minutes to do my 19 footer.

It works from any source of water, like a bucket, so it is a contender, IMO.

Well, the OP said "where there is no water". My solution was to bring a 5 gal pail of water in the trunk of your car, along with a few other necessities.
If that were the case, this gadget would only last 10 minutes. I wonder how much you could get done in that time period.
Of course, you you could always buy more carboys and bring more water...
