Park Model RV Detailing.
On-site detailing for park-model trailers up to 400 sq ft — Athens Park, Cavco, Skyline, Champion. Some haven't been detailed in a decade.
Park models stay put. They're semi-permanent destination trailers at RV resorts and on private lots. We come to the resort site, set up, and restore the gelcoat that's been baking in the sun for years.

Why park models is different.
Park models are the in-between category — bigger than a 5th wheel, smaller than a manufactured home, classified as an RV (technically) but used like a tiny house. They live at the same resort site for years. They have full residential kitchens, real bedrooms, sometimes even a front porch deck attached. The owner is usually a snowbird, a vacation-home buyer, or someone who's converted to part-time RV-resort living. The problem with park models is that they sit in one place for years collecting Texas sun, hard-water spots from the resort's sprinkler system, oak-tree sap, bird droppings, and a roof that nobody has cleaned since 2018. We do the kind of restoration that brings an entire decade of weather off the rig in one visit.
A park model that's lived at Hill Country Retreat for eight years has gelcoat oxidation that needs a real two-stage cut to recover. Roof seams have decade-old caulk that's almost certainly cracking somewhere. Awning fabric is sun-baked and may need replacement coordination. Skirting (the panels that hide the underside) collects vermin nests and mildew. Decks attached to the park model need their own care — composite or wood, both need treatment. We approach a park model detail the way we'd approach a 5-year-neglected Class A: with patience, with photo documentation, and with realistic expectations about what we can bring back.
Texas reality check. Texas park-model resorts are full of these rigs — Hill Country Retreat, Mission Bell RV Resort, Sandy Beach, Cypress Bend at Canyon Lake, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Hill Country, and dozens more. Many owners are out of state or only visit the rig twice a year. They book us for an annual or biennial deep-restore and we treat each one as a one-shot job to set the bar.
The park models protocol.
Site walk-through with the owner or property manager — assess oxidation, roof, skirting, awning, deck, exterior condition.
Roof inspection: TPO/EPDM/fiberglass roof seal check around AC units, vents, antenna, refrigerator vent. Photograph anything lifting or cracking.
Pressure rinse the entire exterior top-down using ladders for the roof and forward sections.
Hand-wash with pH-neutral soap. Most park models need pre-soak on the front section where the sun is harshest.
Polish fiberglass cap and painted sidewalls — likely a two-stage cut on a rig that hasn't been polished in years.
Roof UV treatment with TPO/EPDM/fiberglass-specific protectant.
Awning fabric clean with mildew remover; if fabric is failing, we recommend replacement coordination.
Slide-out service (if applicable; not all park models have slides).
Skirting: clean, inspect for vermin damage, treat for mildew, flag any panels that need replacement.
Deck (if attached): clean composite or wood, treat appropriately.
Wheel and tire (often skirted and forgotten): inspect, clean, dress.
Optional interior service: full deep clean of kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living area; carpet shampoo if applicable.
Final inspection with photo record of any flagged items for owner records.

Older park models we restore
1990s and early-2000s Cavco, Athens, Fleetwood Coleman park models that have been at the same site for 10-15 years. Heavy oxidation, faded decals, sun-baked awnings — these are our restoration specialty.
What owners always ask.
Yes — Hill Country Retreat, Mission Bell, Sandy Beach, Cypress Bend Canyon Lake, Yogi Bear's Hill Country, every major resort across the area. We bring our own water and power and we work around your site neighbors.
Yes — that's most of our park-model work. A rig that's lived at the same site for 8-10 years without proper detailing usually needs a two-stage compound followed by polish to recover the gelcoat. We assess first and tell you upfront what's achievable.
We don't do the actual reseal work — that's an RV service shop's job. What we do is inspect every seam, photograph any cracking or lifting, and tell you what we see so you can address it through the proper channel before water gets in.
Yes — skirting cleaning, inspection for vermin damage, and treatment for mildew are part of every park-model detail. Deck cleaning (composite or wood) is included if attached to the rig. We treat the deck with composite-safe cleaner or wood-appropriate treatment depending on material.
Sometimes. A neglected 35 ft park model with heavy oxidation, deck, skirting, and full interior can run 10-12 hours — often split across two days for our schedule and yours.
A standard exterior + interior on a 32-35 ft park model in moderate condition starts at $700. A heavy-restoration park model with two-stage compound, full skirting, deck, and full interior runs $1,200-1,400. Add ceramic coating for $300 more. Quote after site walk-through.
