I have heard some brushes scratch the glass, so do with squeegee. A guy on hear did a gypsy site at £10 each, but he did loads. I would say about the same time as washing a van. £20???

Use the softest brush you can get. Especially on the windows, they scratch.
You'll need some TFR or alike, pure alone won't cut it.
Especially if he's been driving without a blanket over the front of it.

That said, by far the best thing you can do to a caravan is cover it in petrol and flick a lighted zippo onto it.
You'll be doing him a favour.

I hate caravans.
Sorry DG, I'm usually quite blunt. Perhaps that was one of my more veiled comments

What's to hate about caravans? You never been on a caravan holiday for a week by the sea?

Let me guess, you watch topgear every week and think Clarkson is hilarious?

No mate. Quite the opposite. I grew up poor (put your violin away ) and went on 'holiday' in one a fair bit.
At one point we got made homeless (don't ask ) and we had to live in this godawful heap of 3mm ply on 2 wheels for quite a while. It was winter.

Eventually, we got rehomed in some crappy little room (5 of us) where all the alkies and neerdowells who'd spent more time in prison than out got homed.
This place was marginally better than the caravan.
My dad didn't think it was too bad (the caravan) but he's gypsy so that doesn't help.

That's experience from being a kid.
As an adult, living in a semi-rural location, there is practically nothing worse, as a driver, than being stuck behind someone towing a caravan at 27mph on an A road too twisty to safely overtake. Especially while I'm at work!

Campervans, I like. 'cause they can drive safely at speed. People say about an unsecured load, as in a water tank strapped down, the caravan does my swede-sudden stop and that is gonna go all over.

Top Gear, yeah, love Top Gear-going to the show in June. Clarkson is right about a lot of things. He is the poor man's Boris Johnson.

That's stretching the definition of holiday, surely

Try and get away in mine every 5 weeks what about lorries that stick to speed limit of 40 mph on a roads do you hate them as well at least I am allowed to do 50

I do, yes.

I particularly hated joining the A1 on Wednesday.
2 lorries, perhaps 3 times the length of a regular lorry had the tubes to what looked like the shaft(?) of a wind turbine (which i also detest) on.
They were so wide they drove down the middle of the 2 lane A1.
At between 30-40 miles an hour! At 8am! The busiest time of day and they take the entire road up doing half the speed limit.
I had 30 odd miles do to behind these morons. As did half of Lincolnshire behind me by the looks of it.
Wouldn't it have been more considerate for the drivers to work their hours (or whoever tells them when to drive) to have their breaks at rush hour?
Ho hum.

It's a safety thing too.
A trailer (on an artic) is braked. A caravan isn't. Slam your anchors on an that little tennis ball sized bit of metal is gonna do nothing except create a fulcrum point.  Or come through you.
