I do most of the inside, dh does the outside and the toad. He sure had a dirty mh, after the Top of the World Hwy and the Alcan Hwy; dirt was in every compartment, covering everything.

I told dh if he wanted another wife, to get one that liked to wash dishes.

Wife and daughter both help. Guess I'm lucky to that end. Daughter on her own sometimes will even wash the M/H and does a darn good job.

DW does the routine cleaning of the interior. I do the floor and the exterior.

At the end of the season I give the interior a complete cleaning. This means removing everything from all cabinets and wipe it down with sudsy ammonia and water. It is amazing where the dust can get during a single season.

While I am cleaning the interior, DW is running all of the dishes and pots/pans through the dishwasher in the house. That stuff all goes back in the trailer for winter storage. That way we are ready to go when the next season starts in February.

Not me, I was thinking about the OP. I'm thinking 240 for me, and they can cook

I do the cleaning (inside & outside), loading & unloading, almost ALL maintenance of truck & trailer, so far I have also done all the mods that are on trailer. Divorced so have no help ( just like when I was married), , got a greyhound and she supervises me and sometimes carries things for me (but not neccessarily what I want carried )

Gorgeous does the inside while I'm breaking down the outside to head home. She packs all the dirty clothes in a bag and washes and puts away any dirty dishes. Cleans the bathroom and strips the bed. Sweeps and vacuums the floors.

Once we get home she takes the clothes and bedding in to wash and the rest of it is all mine.

When the bedding is laundered she takes it back out and makes the bed. That is usually a day or two after we get home. By that time I usually have the outside cleaned and everything checked and prepped for the next run.

Works for us. Your mileage may vary.

I (DW) do almost all the unloading and cleaning inside and out after a trip. I did get DH and kids to carry their own stuff in last trip.

I need clouddancer's jacuzzi after our voyages!
