We keep our FW in a storage area which makes it difficult to wash from time to time. Anyone pay someone to wash your RV? Don't need a complete detail with wax, just a wash, including the roof. It's also time for me to do the annual roof caulking and it's obviously good to have it clean before we do that. Never considered paying someone, but at our old place we could keep our RV on our property. Not the case since we moved here. Just looking for a general idea before I start calling around. Thought of taking it to the dealer for a detail and caulk but my guess is they would be pricey.

Blue Beacon truck wash does RV's, but only the sides, not the roof. Under $30.

You caulk every year? Or just inspect and spot fix?

The cost to wash an RV varies with location and length of a coach. It is also, is it was wash only, is including the roof, is it a hand detail wax, a buff wax and so on. Prices for wash, roof and detail wax are +/- $10 per foot. You just have to see who is in the area and are they allowed to work in the park.Ken

Check around with local campgrounds as they should know of someone who does washes.

It recently cost me $350 for a 35' 5'er. Mobile pressure wash rig. Trailer was very dirty. Decent enough job. The guy had ladders and seemed to know what he was doing. The quote included a "quick wax" for everything but the roof. The "quick wax" was actually Meguiar's instant detailer. Good enough stuff, I use it on clean cars, but not exactly wax.

Cost me $2/ft about 15 years ago down in Rocky Point. Rig was 29'. Full wash 'n wax. About 10 people working on it so it only took about 45 minutes. I was several beers in so just gave 'em a c-note. DW almost killed me. :-)

I don't have any equipment like that.

I think what I will do is take some cleaner/alcohol and clean the seams for caulk inspection and re-caulk as necessary and do the wash/wax all on the rest.

Look into Wash Wax All. I've been using that exclusively to wash my motorhomes for years. Most places accept using it since you're not using water. Quick and simple to do.

I bought some of that but I thought it would be a good idea to give it a good bath before I start that periodic process. Not sure if that will clean the roof though will it?
