What do yu use to clean the interior of vinyl tenting on a 2001 Viking PU?  It has a "fuzzy" texture, and when I tried to clean it before I was afraid I might ruin it by scrubbing.  The manual doesn't say anything about what to use.  It's not heavily stained, but looks a little discolored.  We clean the exterior with Awesome or PineSol, and that works great, but I'm afraid to scrub the interior side of the fabric.  Anyone have a Viking that cleans the inside?  Thanks.

I know the stuff that you are talking about.

It may be best to remove the panel (it just unzips, then slides out of the track on the roof). Then take some Woolite and a soft brush and wash it thoroughly. Rinse it and hang it up to dry.

I think that trying to clean it while it is still on the camper could be difficult and messy. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how easy that panel is to remove.

I tried resolve foam spray for carpet and it worked great.

Do you have a Viking camper with the "fuzzy" interior vinyl too?  After you sprayed on the Resolve, did you let it sit, wipe with a rag...?  I prefer not to take the tents off, and just try to clean as is.  Do you cover the bed ends when doing this, or take the mattresses off?  Thanks.

No i actually have a palamino but I think the resolve should do the trick.  If not I can't see it harming anything either.  No I did not take out the matresses and yes vacuuming with a brush attatchment and then wiping with a dry rag.

I tried the Resolve and it worked great!!  The spray on product called Awesome works on the exterior quite well too.  Thanks.  The camper looks like new again!
