Hello there,

Newbie here, first long excursion southwest from Eastern Canada to Texas, tow vehicle and RPod are ffffilthu, yuk.

Any ideas as to self-service car washes which can accommodate my connected rig 11+ feet high.

Any help will be greatly appreciated...

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.

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.
