The Carefree Method to Care for Your Motorhome

Summer 2018 look for new stuff coming out to take some of the toil out of your coach’s care.

1.  First things first, The right tools!

Around the One Pass office we call this the Child Labor Technique.  For this procedure you will need:

  1. One Pass Water Blade(s)
  2. Extension Pole Adapter
  3. Extension Pole
  4. Scrub Bar (Coming Summer 2018)
  5. One Pass Microfiber towel(s)
  6. Offspring (2 recommended)

This is a case where having the right tools makes all the difference. You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can spruce up the motorhome or truck without so much as breaking a sweat.  It’s even kind of fun (you can thank us later). 

Be sure to wash your coach first!

2. Use Tools Wisely.

Engaging the offspring units can be tricky and may require some persuasion. We recommend uninstalling the iPod accessory or completely removing the cell phone attachment if experiencing hard starts.

Once engaged, assure the offspring units function properly following a proper wet, soak, wash, rinse procedure.

Note: Offspring units tend to malfunction when not supervised and may exhibit a disgruntled  appearance.

 


3. Make Short Work of Standing Water

Use a large One Pass Water Blade on an extension pole to allow offspring units to reach tall areas without supervisor intervention.

Our extension pole adapter works on our 12″, 14″ and 18″ Classic Water Blade models. Adapter fits on standard US universal threaded poles like broomsticks or painter poles.  

Not to state the obvious, but the larger the blade you use here, the faster the area is covered. Use of the large pole mounted blade will quickly remove the bulk of the rinse water.

4. Now for the Little Stuff

Now you’re ready to have the offspring switch to any One Pass hand held variety and start picking up the details and around the trim.

If you prefer, you can remove the large Water Blade from the extension pole for this portion of the job though smaller ‘blades are easier to handle. 

Notice how the flexible blade forms over irregular surfaces. Our new Y-Blade design works amazingly well gliding over rivets and window trim.

 


5. Multi-Purpose Tools!

A variety of Water Blade sizes and styles are available to be used around the trim and tidying up the windows. It is just a matter of personal preference at this point.

Something to think about: Once you’re finished up on the outside of the coach, these smaller sizes also work really well in your kitchen or shower!

Back to the job at hand… By now the offspring units have likely removed more than 90% of the rinse water and are on the home stretch. Get yourself another beer, you’ve earned it.

 

A variety of sizes and styles are available for finishing up the rest of the job.

6. Success! 

A couple of good sized waffle weave microfiber towels should be enough to finish the job.

You’ll notice the offspring are really no worse for wear and aren’t nearly as disgruntled as you expected they’d be by now.

If desired, you may reinstall the iPod attachment and release the offspring.

There’s also a good video from the Prevost Owners Group about cleaning your coach posted online by our pals at Shurhold. You can view it HERE.
