Using White hose for Washing RV

Yahoo Message Number: 81187
I used my regular hose connected to my water softner to wash my Coach. I still had spots, but they were easy to wipe off. My question is, should I use my white hose instead? Will it help lessen the spotting? Thanks, John 03 Allure 30951

Spots are usually caused by hard water, not by the type of hose you use.

I use my white hose to wash the coach and my boat...not because of the spotting but because the regular hose leaves black marks when it rubs on the fiberglass.

A water softner exchanges sodium ions for calcium ions. Sodium leaves spots, although not as bad. The only way to avoid hand drying a vehicle is to do a final rinse with distilled water. You can buy it at Walmart for about 88 cents per gallon. I use a pressure washer to pump it out of a bucket and spray it on the coach for a final rinse. It takes about 7 gallons for my 33 ft. coach. Much better than drying by hand in my opinion.
