Hello there,

Most "wave-a-wand" type carwashes have pretty high ceilings. The only issue is getting to the upper reaches and roof. I would probably bring along a ladder to get to those places. ------------- bp 2017 R-Pod 179 Hood River 2015 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4WD 3.5L Ecoboost |

Washing RVs at self service car washes is quite common. Most high bays will accommodate an Rpod. Be mindful of the hose if it uses a ceiling mounted swivel. Also, be careful with that high pressure wash. It will push water in places you don’t want it. Best to use the low pressure setting. Glue Guy is right. A ladder is real handy. ------------- Gpokluda 2017 Rpod 179(sold 2023) 2022 Escape 5.0TA 2022 Ford F150 4X4 3.5EB Kawasaki KLR650 |
