I never used to advertise that I did RV's until I started getting requests and referrals from current customers. They would be like "Hey, can you do what you did on my car to my buddies RV?" and I'd be like "Um........ yeah sure!"
RV's can take a LONG time to do properly but they are big ticket jobs and they are absolutely something to consider if you want a consistent income from your recreational or professional detailing activities.
This was brought to me by word of mouth only. And only after 2 weeks in business.. all he wanted done was polishes rims and just spray on suds and rinse off outside.
Got $250 for it. He told me after paying me of course he was thinking it was gonna cost around 500!!

I do my own RV (38ft 5th wheel) and love it. Also love saving a Ton of money. If I started a detail company, I would do mostly RV's, in the winter here in Mesa, Az. We get TONS of snowbirds, and TONS I them have motorhomes an 5th wheels.

In FL, I see a bunch of scurvy lookin guys by the exit ramps with a bucket, brush and a cardboard sign.
I live at an offroad park with a campground. Thinking of trying this out as part of my retirement plan.
I do my own 32' fifth wheel. It is somewhere in the 950 square feet of fiberglass. If I keep on top of it there is a wash and wax involved. If I let it go to long it is a lot of work to get it back to where I am satisfied. Doing a round with a rotary, wool pad and compound then washing and another round with maybe a cleaner wax and then the final round with the wax is definately a lot of work. Not to mention the up and down every 6 feet. The stick may work in some cases, I have not tried it. I do know especially with oxidation the pressure applied is a key ingredient so I need to be on top of the tool. I am probably a lot pickier since it is my RV and inspect my work very carefully which requires me to be on the ladder. It does take me several weekends at my age to do a complete start to finish if oxidation is involved but I can only take 4-6 hrs a day anymore. If it is a wash and wax maybe 12-16 hrs. That is my .02 cents on RV's yours may differ and none of the above includes cleaning the 21' awning or the roof which is another story.
I also get RV jobs from our website, just make sure you have a page dedicated to RV detailing on there, so there's a better chance of it coming up in searches. Seems like there's not a lot of folks who advertise specifically for that on their site, so you get a leg up...
