fair price for waxing a fifth wheel

$10 a foot for clear coats (40' motor home = $400).

Gel Coats start @ $10 a foot but can cost as much as $600 depending on how oxidized the gel-coat is.

I do a small section a day. No rush or pain and it gets done well.

We just bought our first trailer this year and I would gladly pay $300-$500 for someone to wash and wax it before we put it up for the winter (we just bought it a month ago).

It is a 27-foot box.

What do the dealers generally charge?

I have accepted the fact that this is an expensive hobby. The dealer will be doing our winterizing/de-winterizing, roof inspections and repair, etc. We have a great dealer with a great service department and don't mind paying them to service it.

This is very true, did my own 35 ft Cameo. Did one side one day (4 hours) and the other side a couple of week later after shoulders recuperated. Only cost me a large bottle of Aleve for my shoulders.. End caps are next year.

You say Linear foot....a 24 foot tt would be 64 linear feet right? 640 dollars

Up here in the Montreal area, Last year I paid $377 (tax on) at my dealer for wash, hand wax and cleaning the awnings on our motorhome which is essentially 35'.

$150 for 40' in Aztec. They send two guys out and do it all on site. They have me inspect it and ok it before I pay them. Great guys, I've used them for years. I tip them well!

I am waxing my 35 foot Dynamax motorhome now, Im on my third day and I would pay 10 dollars a foot all damn day. I am using a new Mothers Synthetic wax what works great but still a lot of work for one person 63 years old. The last cost I got was 20 dollars a running foot and that was two years ago.

Price in Delaware is $10 a foot (length).
