I'm guessing s/he is using a phone, and spell-check nixed "rpod"?

I have been using the concentrated RV wash from Wal Mart, and a long handled soft bristled auto washing  brush since I bought my Rpod four years ago.  You mix it up with water in a bucket and dip the brush in it and slather it around and wash it off with a hose.  That's it.  It really shines and keeps the decals from fading as well.  Wash the dirt and grime off before using it so you don't scratch.  Makes the tire sidewalls shine, too.  Super E-Z.

I have used "Spray 9" on my old tent trailer roof and canvas and it works great. Not sure if you can get this product in USA, I bought it at local Home Hardware in Canada.

I see the Spray Nine on Amazon. They have different versions too; the regular stuff, a marine cleaner and a mold and mildew version. I'll have to try this.

I had great luck with "Awesome Cleaner" from the dollar store. Really. A dollar. Great stuff.
