I usually wash mine while I'm camping Smile
I usually have more free time and don't have to do any large projects on it or one of the other vehicles I have.

Isn't going on top of the thing after that many beers dangerous?

I don't go on the roof, I cant, I got a sponge in one hand and a beer in the other, no way am I climbing the ladder like that

The only people who see the top on my GMC are Semis and SOBs
I don't wash it, maybe hose it off once in a while
