Mobile RV and motorhome detailing

Private RV owners, snowbirds getting ready for or closing a season, campground owners, RV dealers and rental fleets.

Fixed price by vehicle length and service level (wash, wash and wax, full restoration), plus add-ons like roof treatment, awning cleaning and interior deep cleans.

• Machine polishing and paint care
• Working safely on ladders and RV roofs
• Reliable scheduling and customer service

• Commercial general liability insurance, ideally with coverage for customers' vehicles in your care
• Check your municipality's rules on washing vehicles, water runoff and wastewater disposal, which can restrict mobile washing
• Falls from RV roofs and ladders, so use proper fall safety and avoid walking on weak roofs
• Short season in much of Canada, so plan winter work such as indoor storage-facility jobs or interior detailing
• Check GST/HST registration once your revenue passes the small supplier threshold

Estimates suggest startup costs are typically around $3,000 to $15,000, depending on your vehicle, polishing equipment, water setup and supplies. Your own costs depend on how much you already own.
