Don't let them use brightner on your 5th wheel. This is a acid, that eventually turns everything white. They are okay, but expensive for a wash.

We have used them several times with no complaints!...Went online and mapped out which exits they were at and planned our pit stops around getting a wash... Joe

We've been regularly using them for 6 years now and have never had a problem. they do a good job and we think the price of $37 for both the trailer and truck is quite reasonable.

There are MANY places that are caulked on your RV. High pressure washes CAN remove caulk and cause leaks. I wouldn't do it to mine.
Good luck / Skip

Skip, you can ask them to NOT use HP spray and they will hand wash with brush. Used them since 1998.

I would wait till you get to Disney (fort wilderness) There are mobile detail guys in there all the time. I had my motorhome done. I though at a fair price and the job was very good. Complete hand wash and wax... Even did the roof (fiberglass).
