Hey guys - I know it's been awhile since you posted this video but do you happen to remember how well they cleaned the bug guts, etc. that alot of standard car washes rarely get off of normal cars, let alone bigger rigs?

I (David) jump in Robins lap too when going through car washes. Not that I’m scared of the water, it’s just more comfortable and fun to experience them like this...and by comfortable and fun I mean, for me only 😉.

I used a Blue Beacon in Gallup NM a couple of years ago. They did a great job. I only had the basic wash which was around $45 at that time. I had been in Cameron AZ and needed to get to Gallup but the day before Flagstaff had had a record snow storm which I wanted to avoid. So tried some state back roads. There was a section about 15 miles which had not been plowed but still had some salt. By the time I got through that, my red black and white trailer and red truck was totally white. Could not see any of the red or black on either vehicle. Looked brand new when I came out the other end of the wash.

Oh man, those roads sound awful! Glad they got the truck and trailer clean though - we were really impressed by how clean they got ours too!

I use blue beacon all the time for my work trucks (12ft box vans) it is quick and easy, cost around 25-30 bucks, the only problem is there is usually a line of 15 semi trucks or more and passing by on a slow day is rare. I think they do a decent job givin the price and time.

Another question? We have the same trailer. What do you use for sway if anything. We use the Blue Ox weight distribution which is suppose to be a combo unit for weight and sway but I think it’s more for weight distribution than anything. Have you experienced any sway that has freaked you out?

Nice! We have the Equalizer E4. It is a similar setup. You definitely know the camper is there, but haven't experienced anything too dramatic. It just takes some experience!
