fair price for waxing a fifth wheel

I was going to wax my 5th wheel but my shoulders won't let me....Now I am wondering what is a fair price? I have seen signs that say 10 dollars a foot. I wonder if that means length of the vehicle or the distance around the vehicle?

  • $10/foot x 40' = $400

    Water $2
    Washing solution $5
    Wax $5
    Advil $2

    Total $14

    I'll suffer the pain...and do :).
  • Just make sure you know if it's the running foot or sq. foot before committing saw an add on Craigs list wanted $10.00 a Sq. foot
  • if you have ever did it once you will see its worth 300 to 500 easy and i would not want to do it for that. its a jooobb. good luck
  • Depends on where your at? In Yuma I get my 40' RV washed and hand waxed (paste wax) for $120.00. Includes roof, windows (outside) and wheels w/tire dressing if you want that < < < <

    I NEED A GUY LIKE THIS NEAR MY HOUSE !!! I WOULD PAY THAT ALL DAY LONG... I received prices on waxing ONLY of $350.00-$500.00... So up went my scaffolding and I got busy...
  • Average is $300 to $500 in California depending on whether they come to you (at your home or storage lot) or have an agreement with an RV Park
  • Camping World in Kingston NY quoted me $5 per foot for my TT.
  • I paid about $6 a ft in Texas this winter - that is the lenght of the MH only

    They not not wax the roof, washed only
  • Depends on where your at? In Yuma I get my 40' RV washed and hand waxed (paste wax) for $120.00. Includes roof, windows (outside) and wheels w/tire dressing if you want that, all included. And the best part is they come to my house with their own water to do it. $10 a foot??? I'm gonna faint.
