RVs and boats, done where they sit.

Campers, travel trailers and boats do not fit through a wash and mostly live in storage. We bring the water and the power to wherever yours is parked.

Big units are a mobile job by default

Nobody takes a travel trailer through a car wash. Most of these units sit in a side yard, on a farm lot or in a storage row from October to April, and the whole reason they get neglected is that cleaning one means towing it somewhere first. So it does not happen, and by the second season the white sides have gone chalky.

That chalkiness is oxidation. Gel coat and RV sidewalls are not clear coated like a car, so UV attacks the pigment directly and the surface turns to a fine powder that comes off on your hand. It looks permanent and usually is not. It comes back with compounding, and it stays back if something gets put on top of it to block the UV.

What these units actually need

  • A wash that gets the black streaks. The runs down the sides under every seam and window are sealant and dirt washed off the roof, and they need a dedicated remover rather than more soap.
  • Oxidation compounded off. Machine compounded in sections until the chalk is gone and the color underneath comes back.
  • Sealed against UV. There is no point restoring gel coat and leaving it bare, because it will be chalky again in a season. A sealant or coating is the part that makes the work last.
  • Awnings, trim and glass. Aluminum trim, awning fabric and the windows, which is where the mildew shows first on a stored unit.
  • Interiors on request. RV interiors are mostly a soft furnishing job. Mildew from a winter of sitting closed is the usual reason people call.

Stored all winter is the hard part

Around here a lot of boats live between Carters Lake and the storage lots on the way out of town, and a lot of campers spend the off season on a piece of family land. Sitting still under a tree is worse for a unit than being used. Sap, pollen, mildew and bird mess get months of undisturbed heat and rain to work on the surface.

The best time to book one of these is on the way out of storage rather than on the way in, because whatever you seal it with is what protects it through the season it is actually being used. Tell us the length, whether it is fiberglass or painted, and where it is parked, and we will tell you what is realistic before we load the van.

Common questions

Questions we get asked.

How big a unit can you do?
Tell us the length and where it is parked and we will tell you straight. The limits are usually access and whether there is somewhere to work safely around it, not the size itself.
Can you fix chalky, oxidized sides?
Usually yes. Oxidation is a surface layer and compounding takes it back. Heavily neglected units may need more than one stage, and we will tell you which case yours is before starting.
Do you detail boats on the trailer?
Yes, that is the normal way. Anything below the waterline depends on access and how it is sitting, so mention it when you call.
Do you need power and water at the storage lot?
No. We bring both, so a bare gravel storage row is not a problem.
