Any body know of a good and reasonably priced RV Car Wash along I-40 in Raleigh to Memphis?

Just Google Blue Beacon truck wash and see if there is one. Does a pretty good job at a fair price.

The Blue Beacon at exit 369 in Tennessee does a great job.

The Knoxville Blue Beacon can’t wash the roof. But they do a good job otherwise.

What is an estimated cost? for those that have used them. I was also looking to stop at one on my way south from NY. Found one right off 95 in GA.

I paid $48 last time my Cedar Creek was washed in Texas. I am nearly 42’ long.

Washing my own TT is part of my "live longer" plan. I try to get all the exercise I can so I tend to do much of my own general maintenance like washing car/truck, mowing lawn, etc.

I generally wash my own as well. There is actually something satisfying with it...lol...Here is WNY I've had to move the 5'er around to complete some projects before my trip and it has gotten dirty. The temp hasn't been close to warm enough for me to wash it myself before my trip tomorrow. So I was hoping to stop along the way to at least get the salt off. It is looking like I will be driving through rain at some point, so it might get a 65mph pressure wash anyway.

I've used the Blue Beacon at the foot of the Grapevine on I-5 a few times. They don't "wash" the top, they flood the top to remove any loose debris. I think I paid $40 last time there.

They flushed the roof, sprayed and brushed the coach and got the under carriage as best they could. I watched from outside and TW watched from inside. I was very pleased. They said Saturdays was their big days for RV's of all types. Coach looks great in the day light today. I highly recommend this location, friendly, straight forward, and I thought a good value.
