+1 to Jato.  Use a telescoping wash brush for washing and waxing (throw a waxing pad on it)

I finished the job yesterday and the trailer looks great.  I did not do any "slithering" because with the right ladder I could use my "gorilla arms" and reach it all :-)
I really wasn't comfortable with getting up on the roof and was ready to use the plywood trick; in the end I managed to avoid that too.
Thanks for the help.

Killing some time this morning watching an rpod factory tour for the umpteenth time and saw this.  Did a double take and rewound the video.  Below is a screen capture of 2 men working on the roof of an rpod.  Wanted to share it because just maybe, for what ever reason, we’re being unreasonably worried about getting on top of the roof for cleaning and maintenance.



If you think about it - with the exception of the 180, every rpod has interior bathroom walls that would help support the weight of the roof.

+1. I have been getting on the roof of the 'Pod for washing and waxing since we got it. It is very solid up there.
