I was told it's not a good Idea from dealer. If I did I would be very careful aroud any graphics on the trailer. Power washers tend to peel them off.

When we had a trailer we were always told not to use a power washer on it for several reasons. I guess the pressure can drive the water through the metal rib joints. Will tear the decals and cause them to come off. It will also force water through around windows and doors. Never tried it.
We also do not use a power washer on the motorhome for some of the same reasons. Afraid we will force water in and that it will peel decals.
I do not find washing it a problem. I start with the roof and work my way down. I always dry it afterwoards so there are no water marks.
Enjoy!! ;)

Knew a buddy that had some tremendous leaks around the glass after a season or two of doin' that. Don't think I'd really pull the tigers tail on that one.

got my tt last fall and it got dirty thru the winter. i just used a little pine oil and a cap or 2 of bleach in a bucket of water. came out beautiful. a hint. always start at bottom and work your way up, that way it won't streak going down, streaks are just dirt marks, and if its clean on bottom, won't streak. :)

My dad washed our 1967 Aristocrat with a powerwasher and now I am having problems with the leakage. I am never going to do that or let anyone do that again. I can't believe I didn't see it coming. Thanks guys!
