Bought a Ryobi 1600 PSI electric power washer last year (have a bigger gas one as well) for use around the property. Loe the thing, and best part is the way it breaks down to store in a really small space. Has a low press nozzle that allows you to spray soap/etc. from an onboard tank, a medium pressure nozzle for most jobs and the high pressure one that requires care so as not to damage what you are spraying.
Liked it so much, I just went to buy one and found that Home Depot has some (reconditioned) on-line @ $69 ea with free shipping. Bought one to put in the coach and carry with me.
Here is link for reconditioned ones if anyone wants to jump in and pick one up;

Thanks for the tip, just ordered one.
Looks good, just bought one. Thanks for the heads up Tim
We also have a bigger one that I don't always want to drag out and I have several other ryobi tools that go and go.
I Just ordered one too.
Thanks much Tim. Like everybody else, just ordered one.
Thanks Tim, just bought one.
Got mine a few months ago for the RV - but it came in very handy preparing the sticks & bricks for sale. I had trex deck in the atrium (outdoor space surrounded by house) that had been inundated with oak leaves and had formed a layer of black. Using the little Ryobi with the high pressure rotating head I was able to zoom it in to about a $.50 piece sized target and get it back to fresh surface. Took a long time, but it did the job. When it came time to do the same with the concrete walk it was a complete breeze. I also used it (with the medium nozzle) to strip the paint from the metal front door. Pretty amazing - I could have used it on many occasions in the past.
I used it recently (with gentle nozzle) to finally knock the mud off the tires and wheel wells of the coach. Looking forward to using it with the gentle nozzle around the body and roof when the time comes.
Comes with all three blue, yellow and black
I just ordered one too.... I had been thinking about picking one up. Thanks for the push Tim!
I'm on board too.
This will be handy for battling the bugs on the front of the coach...just need to be careful around the gaskets.
I'm also buying a set is nozzles on Amazon so I have more gentle selections, 40 and 60 degrees.

Be careful buying the wrong size tips as there are dozens of sizes...The following may be helpful:

The size of the hole in the tip matters..You will want a 02 nozzle...They should be stamped or etched on the metal part of the quick connect area...Too big of a hole lowers the pressure, too small of a hole raises pressure and may damage pump.
The nozzles you use on your pressure washer have two distinct measurements. You have a measurement in one direction and a measurement in another direction. The first is what measures your fan spray size, these are your 0-degree pin point spray, 15-degree fan spray, 25-degree fan spray, 40-degree fan spray and so on. This is the size you are familiar with and the first 3 numbers on your nozzle represent these measurements. The second measurement is best described as the width of those sprays. The last 3 numbers on your nozzle tell us this measurement; for instance 040, 045, 050 are all measurements of the nozzle this way. This measurement of the nozzle corresponds with the PSI and GPM of your machine and is sized up accordingly
Me too, thanks Tim.
