It’s necessary to keep your camper looking just as great as it did when you first got it. Here are some tips on how to clean the outside of a camper trailer to keep it looking like new!
Cleaning the outside of a camper trailer
Let’s begin by looking at how to properly clean the outside of a camper trailer. Here’s a checklist:
Dust & mud masks should be worn to clean the exterior of the camper trailer. Don’t use a commercial or homemade one. The majority of these are flammable and can start a fire. Also, they can give you an asthma attack. Before cleaning your camper trailer, be sure to wear a mask and rubber gloves. (for indoors) Take a few minutes to blow off and vacuum the dirt and any other dirt or dust that’s built up on the wheels and rear of the trailer. This should be done using a shop-vac, hose, or vacuum. Clean off the wheel well by hand if necessary. Now that your wheels and tires are clean, take the following steps:
Frost and water rings must be removed.
How to clean dirt, bugs, and bird droppings
The bottom of a camper trailer is the most often-mistreated part of the camper trailer. Dirt, bugs, and bird droppings can build up inside and leave its surfaces in dirty and unsightly condition. This not only causes the trailer to get dirty and unsightly, but it can also cause air leaks and may affect the material the trailer is made of.
Your camper trailer does not need to be completely sealed in order to avoid water damage. The best way to avoid damage is to clean the outside regularly, and not just when the trailer is needed for repairs.

How to keep your camper looking great for years
1. Take Advantage of the Dirt-Off Vacuum
One of the most important things to clean out of a camper trailer is the trash. Everything from gas tanks, to tires, to batteries, and other broken down items, can easily build up over the years. These items can be found at the bottom of your car’s trunk. Don’t forget the top of the camper as well. Take a trash bag and do some major organizing and sorting.
2. Take Advantage of Sand or Clay Towels
You can either try to use kitchen or laundry towels, or you can get some durable all-purpose towels. Either way, these towels can help get your outside looking nice and you can fold them up and throw them into the wash easily. You can also use those sand or clay pots from camping to collect any debris.
Making sure your camper trailer looks as great as it did when you first bought it can be very beneficial to the overall experience. Take the time to give your camper trailer a thorough cleaning when it starts getting dirty and you will soon realize how much easier and more enjoyable having your camper trailer out on the trail is!
