The Caravan is stored outdoors uncovered we bought it three years ago and it has not been taken out in 2 because we did not use it last year at all.
I know that Fenwicks cleaner and bobby dazzler are the recommended solution but we can't get those in this country and our limited budget does not allow for us to import it. It's this same limited budget that forces us to store the van outdoors.
I have also read that it is not recommended to use a pressure washer to clean a van but we have a very small residential Karcher k2.01 which is rated at 310 Litres per hour and 100 bar max pressure so I'm wondering if that would be low enough pressure to be safe.
Alternately I need some suggestions for normal household things that will work instead of Fenwicks without requiring a lot of hard scrubbing since medical issues preclude either my wife or I from doing that hard scrubbing.
We use the Aldi no water cleaner and it has brought our van up to a good finish. Ours, too, was stored under trees, so green and dusty.

Never point ANY jet washer at the caravan directly. You can use it to flood an area, but you will be better off just using a small plant sprayer or a sponge.
Even on a mist style spray it can force the water under seals and cause unseen damage.
Sister made the mistake many years ago found water in the wardrobe in the van.
Any good car wash & wax shampoo will do your van, I personally use Meguiars.
As for Bobby Dazzler, there is a cheaper alternative, Demon Shine.
I believe you have Halfords in the Netherlands, both products are available there.
All Fenwicks products, in my opinion, are overpriced and there are cheaper and better products for car use out there. They have lured people in by telling them this is what you must use for your caravan.
