It's the question every RV owner asks first and most detailers dodge: what's this going to cost? Here's how RV detailing is actually priced on the Emerald Coast, why two 30-footers can quote hundreds apart, and roughly where your rig will land — so the number you get back isn't a surprise. This covers Class A, B & C motorhomes, travel trailers, and fifth wheels.
Like boats, RVs are quoted per foot of length, then adjusted for condition and height. On the Emerald Coast the going range is about $8–$28 per foot. That wide spread exists because "detailing" covers everything from a basic wash to a multi-stage compound on a sun-baked front cap:
Multiply the per-foot rate by your length and you're close. Rough all-in ranges for a wash-and-wax in good-to-moderate condition:
There's a $200 minimum so small rigs are still worth the trip, and larger or badly oxidized coaches are quoted after inspection so nobody's guessing. Interiors are quoted separately from a few photos — RV layouts vary too much (slide-outs, wet baths, dinettes) to price sight-unseen. Condition, not just length, is what moves the final number.
Beyond the base package, the extras Emerald Coast RVers actually ask for:
Gulf humidity and salt air are brutal on RV fiberglass and gel coat — a wash & wax twice a season keeps oxidation from ever starting, which is far cheaper than compounding it back later. Two smart windows down here:
Same idea as the rest of your fleet: see how often a car needs detailing in salt air and how often a saltwater boat really needs it.
SB Detailing is mobile — we bring the water, power and full setup to your RV, whether it's parked at your home, a campsite, a resort, or a storage lot anywhere on the Emerald Coast. Moving a 34-foot coach to a wash bay is a job in itself; you shouldn't have to. That convenience is the whole point, and it's built into the pricing above, not tacked on.
Text us your RV's class and length plus a couple photos of the front cap and roofline. We'll send back an honest quote — usually within the hour — and come to your driveway, campsite or storage lot.
For a wash-and-wax in reasonable condition, plan on roughly $450–$800. If the fiberglass is chalky and needs compounding, or you add a roof deep clean and ceramic sealant, a 30-footer can run $800–$1,200+. The exact number depends on oxidation and how the roof and front cap have held up.
Yes — a roof deep clean and protectant is a from-+$150 add-on, and it's the one we recommend most. A dirty roof is what causes the black streaks that run down your sidewalls after rain, so cleaning and treating it up top solves the streaks at the source.
Yes. Light streaking comes off with the wash-and-wax; heavier staining that's set into oxidized fiberglass needs compounding, which is priced in the higher per-foot tier. Sending a few photos of the sidewalls lets us tell you which it is before we quote.
Yes — home, campsite, resort, or storage lot anywhere in our service area (Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Navarre, Mary Esther, Niceville, Pensacola). We're fully mobile with our own water and power, so your RV never has to move.
