Given the typical RV's size and flimsy wall construction, this
really shouldn't be attempted there.  The solution is the high
pressure car wash and a plastic garbage can with a tight fitting
lid.  The procedure is thus:

Put harness and leash on kitty to limit the after-wash excursion.

Put kitty in can.  Apply lid.

Apply hearing protection.

Cut small hole in lid, stick in wand from pressure wash.  Feed
quarters as necessary.

Stir vigorously.

Turn can over, drain soapy water through hole.  Don't get body parts
near hole.

Switch to rinse cycle.  Repeat previous 3 steps.

Turn can on its side, stand behind it and trip the lid open.

Stand clear of the clean tornado!

Optional:  Add some softener to the rinse cycle for that fluffy
look.
