Fourteen per-foot RV rates, cheapest first
A wash-only rate and a wash-and-wax rate are different jobs, so read the middle column before the price. Names sit in the table because these are the businesses’ own published lists.

Every rate above is also a row in our RV price index, tracked per foot of RV. How we pick and check pages is on the methodology page.
What the per-foot rate leaves out
Every rate in the table buys the outside, and the lists draw the edges of “outside” differently.
- The interior. None of the 14 rates covers it. One list adds interior cleaning at $15 a foot, or $25 for a deep clean; another bills interior work at $65 an hour. The $25 exterior row’s own full detail, inside and out, is from $50 a foot. The $13 list says it plainly: interior not included.
- Oxidation. A wash-and-wax rate assumes a sound finish. One list jumps from $16 to $30 a foot for an oxidized exterior, and another prices oxidation removal at $50 a foot. The $8 list’s two premium packages say in capitals that they do not address oxidation. Chalky fiberglass behaves a lot like boat gelcoat, so the boat compound and wax quote math carries over.
- The roof. Included on some lists, extra on others. Four rates in the table name the roof in the wash, at $10, from $12, from $15 and $20. Elsewhere it’s $3 a foot, from $50 to clean and condition, or $125 to $275 for a roof wash and sealant. The order that keeps roof runoff off fresh wax is in how to detail an RV in sections.
- Trim, awnings and tires. Separate lines. Trim restoration starts at $100 on one list, awning cleaning runs $60 to $125 on another, and a ceramic tire dressing is $10 a tire.
- A minimum or a travel fee. None of the 14 pages prints either. One reserves the right to decline a job based on distance and package, so distance can end the job, not just raise it.
We also left one number out of the table: a $3-a-foot “303 Wash and Seal” booster on the $8 list. It’s a sealer applied after a wash, not a detail by itself.
What moves the per-foot number
- Type and height. One Tri-Cities list charges $10 a foot for small campers, $12 for fifth wheels and $13 and up for motorhomes. A Colorado Springs, CO shop adds $3 a foot for fifth wheels, Class A coaches and anything over 10 feet tall. Size reworks a car bill the same way; see cost by vehicle size.
- The step you buy. One Boise list climbs from $12 a foot for a wash and spray wax to $16 with a polymer sealant and $22 with oxidation removal, and warns that severe oxidation may cost more. Boat detailers stack their per-foot steps the same way; see per-foot boat pricing.
- Condition. That’s why one list can print $16 and $30 a foot for the same length: the second number is for a chalky finish.
A 30-foot fifth wheel, priced out
Take any rate in the table and multiply by 30 feet:
- wash only at $8: 30 × $8 = $240
- wash and wax at $10: 30 × $10 = $300
- wash and wax at $20: 30 × $20 = $600
- exterior buff and seal at $25: 30 × $25 = $750
The Tri-Cities list prints the same sum on its own page: a 30-foot RV at $300 and up. And on the list that adds $3 a foot for fifth wheels, its $15 rate becomes (15 + 3) × 30 = $540. For a 25-foot travel trailer at $10 a foot, figure 25 × $10 = $250; for a 40-foot Class A at $20, 40 × $20 = $800, before any roof, oxidation or interior line.
