Pressure Washer

Rashers72

Looking for a budget/entry level pressure washer to use on car/caravan/ motor home/ mobile home. Don't worry, don't have them all, but know people who would like to borrow one also
I don't have decking, but do have a small patio.
Was thinking of the Karcher K2.900 M. The deluxe version comes with a number of extra accessories - T-Racer Patio and decking cleaning attachment, Wash brush, Dirtblaster lance, Clean tablets (2.5 Litres of Detergent when diluted), Detergent tank,
Full on Board accessory Storage.

Could I use that T-Racer on the side of a campervan?

Cost = EUR127 in Atlantic Homecare

I would not recommend using a power washer on a motorhome/caravan.

To start with, the aluminium panelling can be quite soft in spots, you could actually dent it. But more importantly, the seams and seals on those things were only designed to be rain tight. A full blast from a power washer could do seroius damage. Not so much in terms of immediate water ingress but rather damage the seals to slowly let in water and turn your camper into a nice rotten shed in a few months.

One of those hose connected brushes and a bit of elbow grease is much better.

Thanks! It has a small soft washer brush included, so I'll use that instead. Good advice, so thanks again.

Pressure washers are dead handy for cleaning wheelarches where there are often mud traps. But otherwise I agree with Peasant. I have had a pressure washer for years but haven't really used it in the past couple of years. I reckon a soft brush with a connector for garden hose is better/simpler solution. I don't think Kärcher etc. rotating brushes give any extra benefits over basic wet brush. The most important bit is to use plenty of (low pressure) water to carry the dirt away.
