huh. round here, you can't even get a NON-camper through the car-wash. all
they take down here is midget sedans and small pickup trucks. you have to
go to the coin-op-spray-it-yourself-and-get-mud-splattered-all-over-you type
wash stalls.

get a thin straight pin or safety pin ... stick the pointed end into the
hole in the washer squirter nozzle (on the "hood"). press firmly and move
the other end of the pin. just a very tiny bit of movement makes a BIG
difference in where the squirt lands on the windshield. it'll take you about
five or six tries to get it where you want it. :)
