I recently bought the Harbor Freight 2500 PSI Gas Powered Pressure Washer – Item #62201 — The cost along with 2 fifty foot length heavy duty garden hoses was about $300. It worked well and I am very happy with it. I washed a number of trailers in my park and made a few bucks.
Features include a 4 HP (160cc) Predator Engine, 2.4 GPM flow rate, Five high-pressure quick-connect tips, and a soap tank and Chemical/detergent injector on pump.

Thanks for making this video. I was thinking of buying the cheaper plastic one. I used to own a northern PW that set me back 1200 this one looks very comparable to the one I used to own. The only thing I see. Is it looks like the attachments for you water hose to the pump are cast aluminum and protrude past the frame. I could foresee that being a possible breaking point. Eh I’ll probably buy it anyway and make a guard for it. Thanks again!
Just picked this up yesterday’ on sale for $259. Ran it for about 3 hours, checked oil and it seems abnormally black. Going to change it to full synthetic and hopefully nothing is wrong with it.
i am sure it will do a better job if thr rv was sprayed with some kind of cleaner and have it seat for a while before hiting with the water all and all it looks like it can pay for it self $25 with in the first few minutes haha
Is this self priming? Can i use it from a tank without a pump?
The trigger doesn’t lock open because it’s a safety issue. I haven’t seen one that does lock. Maybe the really old ones did. I used to work for someone who rigged the trigger, so that it would stay on. It’s probably a bad idea to do that though. I don’t recommend it.
After a bit of trial and error, its better to use bleach.
I know what is said about not using BLEACH as a cleaner, because it supposedly damages the seals in the pump. I have run Clorox Bleach through a Comet pump powered by my Honda GC!60 engine for the last 6 years and it is still running fine. Anyone else care to comment on the use of bleach and the claim of damaging internal seals on the pump? Thanks!
Can it be any liquid soap
If I add a detergent…and then I need to use it without the detergent…Do I merely switch the nozzle or do I need to pour it out? In other words…can there be detergent in it if I need to switch uses?
You should never run a power washer without water running through the pump
Great cleaning power. I have one of these little boys too
HI thanks for the video I just bought one same as yours how do you drain the pump for storage, I see nothing about pump draining or prepared for winter storage. Thanks
I am wondering if a ” Pre-soak” solution applied before power washing would remove the mildew easier? it looked like a nice machine, Will you upload a video of the rv completed
If you wash early in the morning when theres a big dew the midew will come off better
jeez I cringed so bad when he started it up brand new with water. the pump has ceramic plungers that need water to compress or they will be destroyed
letting it idle too long without pressing the trigger will wear out the pump faster
Some “Mean Green” brand soap and a soft brush would have saved alot of time and water. Pressure washers are great ( I love mine), but this is not the correct use for that tool. ” Mean Green” is cheap and would be very effective for this application. Plus, it kills the algae. A pressure washer will make it look clean, but the live algae remaining will grow back.
I learned this the hard way
Harry please send me an email to godfather06969@gmail.com. Thank you sir
I got a kick out of the bonus “argument” with the other dude toward the end. Thanks for posting this, though.
Do you need pump oil
I cringed the second I watched this person run the pump dry. Oh dear Lord…….. 🙁
Poor pump – running it dry 🙁
