    About this vehicle

    Why class a is different.

    A 40-foot Class A is the largest vehicle most people will ever own — and the most punished. Eighty square feet of roof bakes under Texas sun every day it's parked. Awnings collect mildew. Slide-out seals dry-rot. Gelcoat oxidizes into a chalky haze you can scrape off with a fingernail. Detailing a Class A motorhome is fundamentally different from detailing a car: it's a full-day job for one technician, sometimes two days, and it requires equipment most mobile detailers don't carry — a ladder that reaches 13 feet, a polisher with the right pads for fiberglass cap-and-roof, and a generator that can run all of it without a hookup.

    Class A coaches live outside year-round. The roof — whether fiberglass, TPO, or EPDM rubber — is the single most-neglected and most-expensive surface on the rig. A neglected roof leaks at the seams around AC units, vents, and the front cap, and a leak inside the wall structure is a $10,000 repair. Gelcoat oxidation eats resale value: a chalked 2018 Tiffin Phaeton loses $8-15k in trade-in compared to one that's been polished annually. Slide-out seals, when they crack, let water and rodents inside. Every one of these problems is preventable with a real annual detail, and every one is what we look for on the walk-around before we even open a bottle of soap.

    Texas reality check. Texas Hill Country RV owners deal with three killers: UV intensity, hard mineral water at most parks, and surprise hailstorms. The sun bakes gelcoat year-round. Hard water leaves white mineral deposits that etch into fiberglass if they sit. Hail dimples the front cap. We work with all of it — we bring soft water for the final rinse, we polish out etching, and we apply marine ceramic coating that survives Texas summers far better than wax.

    How we work on yours

    The class a protocol.

    01

    Full walk-around with you before we start — we photograph the roof, awning, slides, decals, and any pre-existing damage so there's no question what was there when we arrived.

    02

    Roof inspection first — we check sealant around AC units, vents, refrigerator, antenna, and skylights. If we find cracked Dicor or lifted Eternabond, we tell you before you fly down the road and a leak shows up in your bedroom ceiling.

    03

    Pressure-rinse top-down with soft water to flush road salt, bug juice, and tree sap, then apply RV-safe pre-soak to leading edges, lower panels, and the front cap.

    04

    Hand-wash with pH-neutral two-bucket method. We never automatic-brush a Class A — the side decals and clearcoat won't take it.

    05

    Machine-polish the fiberglass with cutting compound to remove oxidation, followed by finishing polish to bring back the wet gloss. Heavy oxidation gets a two-stage cut.

    06

    Treat the roof with manufacturer-appropriate UV protectant — fiberglass gets one product, rubber EPDM/TPO gets another. We never cross-contaminate.

    07

    Slide-outs: clean the tops (where 90% of slide leaks start), condition the wiper seals with proper conditioner so they stay supple, lubricate the mechanisms.

    08

    Awnings — fabric awnings get scrubbed with awning cleaner and brushed by hand; vinyl awnings get a different chemistry. Heavy mildew may need two passes.

    09

    Wheels, tires, and underbody — wash the wheels, dress the sidewalls with a UV protectant that won't sling onto the side of the coach, rinse the road grime off the underbody.

    10

    Optional ceramic coating cure: marine-grade ceramic that bonds to the gelcoat and lasts 1-2 years even in Texas sun. We apply, level, and inspect under multiple light angles.

    Class A questions

    What owners always ask.

    A 32-foot gas Class A in decent shape takes 8-10 hours. A 40-45 foot diesel pusher with heavy oxidation can run 10-14 hours or split across two days. We give you a real estimate after the walk-around — not a generic flat rate.

    Yes. We service Hill Country Retreat, Buckhorn Lake Resort, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Canyon Lake, Hidden Valley RV Resort, BeaverCreek RV Resort, every storage yard in Boerne and Bulverde, and home driveways across San Antonio. We bring our own water and power so we don't need site hookups.

    In most cases, yes. Heavy chalking responds to a cutting compound followed by finishing polish. Sun-baked rigs that haven't been waxed in years sometimes need a two-stage cut. We test a small section first and show you the result — you decide before we commit to the whole coach.

    We don't replace Dicor or rebuild Eternabond seams — that's an RV service shop's work, and we'd rather refer you to one we trust than do it poorly. What we do is clean the roof, treat it with UV protectant, and flag any seal issues we spot so you know before a leak starts.

    On gelcoat, marine-grade ceramic coatings reliably last 1-2 years even in Texas sun, especially when the coach is washed monthly with pH-neutral soap. They reduce oxidation, make black streaks easier to remove, and dramatically cut the time you spend cleaning after a rainstorm.

    Exterior-only on a 32-35 ft gas coach in good condition starts around $1,200. A full exterior + interior on a 40 ft diesel pusher with moderate oxidation runs $1,800-2,200. Full restoration with two-stage compounding and ceramic coating on a 45 ft show-quality rig can run $2,500+. We quote after the walk-around.

    Yes — full interior service is available as an add-on or standalone. We vacuum carpets and slides, steam-clean upholstery, condition leather, treat the bathroom and kitchen, sanitize touch points, and clean the galley appliances. Especially useful before a sale or after a long trip.
