    Transporter Washing/Cleaning - The Roof

    Alright, How do you lot keep your roof clean?

    at the moment i have a step ladder, plank, pressure cleaner, CCP washing kit and some nimble feet

    At least i have the luxury of 4 roof bars to put the plank on and get up there.... what's your technique?

    I don't own a Transporter but this could be easier and safer than balancing on a plank on the roof racks.

    I use a step ladder, long handled car brush & pressure cleaner. I move the ladder twice per side. I am glad I don't own some of those motorhomes, particularly the ones where there is a bed over the cab.
    Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

    I'm quite lucky, I have letterbox made from bricks next to my driveway, that I step on and use long vehicle brush and high pressure cleaner.

    Wot!! Thats outrageous. Have transporters got a roof!! Why wasn't I told. I've never washed mine in 5 years. Out if sight, out of mind is my motto.
