- Hey everyone!
Welcome to our latest video - another #caravanningtips special :)
The time has come for me to attempt to clean our roof. I’ve never properly done this in the time we’ve owned the caravan so it definitely needs doing! Do I make a success of it?? Am I happy with the result?? Let’s take a look!
Hope you enjoy the video, and thanks for watching!

Every experience counts! Allows viewers opportunity to figure out what works and what doesn’t? That was a great first attempt after 2 years 🥰 so well done - you deserved your beer!
Ahh thank you. Yeah it was hard work and I definitely rewarded myself with a beer or 3 🤣
I don’t tend to watch people cleaning there caravan roof but yours has been most entertaining!! Love you pair... say it as it is !!👍🏼🚐 Vicky you look fabulous... 🤩🤩🤩
Good video. One tip I would give is to put the jockey right up before you clean to let the water run off the back. Then scrub from front to back 👍
Although you say you weren't totally happy with the end result it was a huge improvement. I've noticed in your videos that the beemer always looks in fine fettle and I think there's a lot of products from the car detailing world that could be of use for your caravan. Maybe a snow foam as a pre wash (to soak into the grime and soften /loosen it prior to a contactless rinse).
After washing some sort of sealant like gyeon wet coat or similar. Just some suggestions, keep up the vids, I'm enjoying watching you guys 👍
Haha good job guys. Your not alone, I for the first time attempted to clean our roof for the first time. It was that bad it became a massive job. It's better than it was, that's all I am saying. Will have to have another go soon. Ian...
Hi Aaron.. loved the video, it’s a job I hate but I found the Kampa long reach microfibre brush and it makes it so much easier and quicker as you can do the whole van roof with only two moves of the ladder. It’s also quite flat so if you open the roof vents you can clean much more. I also spray it with Fenwicks Bobby Dazzler after it’s cleaned as I find its easier to clean the next time...
so you cleaned the roof...and then the crud washed down the sides of the van ...did you wash the whole van or just the roof?
An excellent first attempt 👌
Hope you are all well. Missing the fun you used to post.
Top job Aaron, I need to do this again but keep putting it off! Vicky is not normally shy 😂😂 Keep the vlogs coming 🙂
Yes it’s a horrid job isn’t it, but needs must. Fed up with it making the rest of the caravan filthy as soon as it rains! Thanks mate appreciate your continued support 👍🏻
It didn’t look that bad honest 😷. Definitely a job I’m dreading. Thanks for sharing.
🤣🤣🤣 thank you. Thanks for watching guys, good luck when you have to do yours
Great job 👍🏼We’ve not had our caravan long and although we wipe down the streaky bits we are building up to doing a roof clean 😬
Thanks so much! Yes it takes some building up to do it. It was a well earned beer I had at the end 😂 thank you for watching
Nice one Aron. I have to say our caravan has had Paintseal applied so the roof doesn’t get mucky. But Grandma’s caravan has been sat under a tree for 9months and is covered in everything... after the last video I made about cleaning it! I will DM you in a minute. Cheers Oliver
Thanks Oliver! Great to hear that the paint seal is doing it’s thing! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
I thought it looked canny. We got a new to us van and they had done sides and some of the roof. Parts of it are still quite dirty. I need a new ladder to sort those parts out. The back of the van we filthy because those parts on the roof weren't clean enough. Soon winter so might clean it just before goes into winter seaason.
Thank you, appreciate the kind comments. It’s always a nightmare to do, and if it’s not done it seems to make the rest of the caravan filthy!hopefully it will do until next springtime now though 👍🏻
A job that is challenging even when new - our Coachman has been back to the dealer for a valet because it was rubbish on handover, and the roof is still not good enough for a new ‘van! One area you didn’t cover, and which annoys me on ours, is the area around and under the roof vents and skylights (?) - easy enough on the biggy I suppose, but how the flip does one tackle the ickle ones?
Anyway, great video Aaron and kudos for showing us some stark reality that we all probably shy away from! Important point though, at least keep the solar panel cleaned regularly... 👍🏻 😉 ✅
Great video. Did you clean the solar panel sameas the roof?
Thanks Dan, yes mate cleaned it exactly the same
All being well clean roof should mean less mucky streaks down the side to wash off. Good job 👍
I had to clean the roof after we went to Morton in May. The pigeons were having family parties every morning. 🙁 Cheers Phil
Haha its a nightmare isn’t it. Whenever we get bird poop on the van I’m out cleaning it off, horrid stuff. Cheers for watching Phil
Nice one Aaron looks alot cleaner now tell vicky she looks fine without make up so funny u pair t when u start cheers .kev
Cheers Kev, glad we amuse some people! Vicky said thank you very much ☺️👍🏻
It’s white again 👍🏻 you guys are funny brill vlog 🎉🎉
Good results Aaron, mine is just up the road 👍🏻👍🏻😂 Trev
Hi how can i get the top panel clean above my Windows it a swift eccles
Hey Thomas, I’d get an extendable wash brush. Spray it with cleaner using the garden sprayers if you have them, then dip the brush in bucket with cleaning soap or Fenwicks in, then give it a good clean 👍
It's a hard job Aaron and imagine my 8m long roof and 8foot wide! Now that's why I ask my light weight brother in law to help me 😊
Oh gosh yes, mine was bad enough so I’ll leave the 8m x 8ft to you and your brother in law 🤣🤣
Great video 😁😁😁 was not a bit like watching paint dry 😁😁😁
Looks great. Compared to your shirt, it’s got to look good 😂😂 only kidding 😉
🤣🤣 haha I thought the shirt might be controversial 😁😁 thanks for watching 👍🏻
And you think that's bad 😂
Whack some polish on it now, raining now, oh well maybe next time
That is what I should have done really, and I’m regretting it now! Thanks for watching Geoff 👍🏻
Good job. I need to do mine but......
.....but you want me to do it when we next come down for an evening out?? 🤣🤣
@@CaravanChitChat ooh, good idea. I'll shout you a pint.😆
