Service specs · Canyon Lake
Built for Canyon Lake owners.
Canyon Lake is where we spend most of our boat-detail days. Slip rentals at Cypress Bend, Mountain Springs, and Cranes Mill, plus the dense network of lakeside RV resorts (Yogi Bear's, Hidden Valley, Sandy Beach, Hill Country Retreat) means we're at the lake almost daily April through October.
Owner profile. Lakeside cabins and homes, weekend warriors with bass and pontoon boats at the slip, snowbird Class A and 5th-wheel owners at the resort, and a small but committed sailboat community.
A truck camper is a self-contained RV that drops into the bed of a pickup. Slide it in, tie down four corners, drive anywhere your truck can drive. They're the choice for hunters who want to overnight at the lease, dispersed campers who want to go where trailers can't, and overlanders who put a Northern Lite on a Tundra and drive into Big Bend. They take a beating — gravel road dust, tie-down rub on the bed rails, propane tank exposure, and the cab-over bunk that sits over the truck cab. Most local detailers won't touch them because they're awkward to access (especially when still in the truck bed) and the cab-over is a steep climb. We do them all.

What's included.
What owners always ask.
Yes — Hill Country Retreat (Canyon Lake) is one of our regular resort stops in Canyon Lake. We bring our own water and power and work around resort rules and neighbors. Other Canyon Lake resorts and storage yards are also part of our route.
Yes — we work around the truck. We use a ladder to access the cab-over and roof, and we hand-wash the underbody from the sides where it's exposed. If you'd prefer the camper on jacks, that's fine too — we can work either way.
Yes — every detail includes a tie-down inspection. We look for fiberglass wear at the four corner anchor points, stress cracking around the anchors, and abrasion on the truck bed rails. Anything concerning gets photographed and flagged.
Yes — we set up the camper if needed, clean the canvas or hardshell pop-up, treat the gaskets, and reproof any fabric panels. Pop-up campers have unique seam care needs and we treat them appropriately.
Yes. Caliche dust and Texas backcountry dirt come off with the right pre-soak and pressure rinse. Off-road underbody degrease is an add-on if the chassis is heavily caked.
We service home driveways, storage yards, and most local RV parks. For remote ranch service (Brackettville, Cotulla, Carrizo Springs), we'll travel with a minimum job size. Call to discuss.
A standard exterior + interior on a Lance 825 or Northern Lite 8-11 starts at $400. A larger Eagle Cap 1165 or Arctic Fox 1140 with heavy oxidation runs $600-800. Add ceramic coating or pop-up canvas reproof and it pushes to $900.
Park it. We'll handle it.
Same care, every job. We come to your Canyon Lake driveway, dock, hangar, or storage site.
