Some of you know me from other forums etc. A few months ago I was made redundant and after 3 months I found another job, less pay, more hours, including weekends and bank holidays etc. Not ideal for a motorhome owner with kids who want to be away most weekends.
I have been thinking of setting up my own motorhome valeting/detailing buisiness, then I could work around weekends away, or even work them while at shows and rallies.
I have been researching companies who do valeting. I found out that 90% dont want to do a MH, they say its too much hard work. Then there are others who will do the work but they want to pressure wash it and do a quick once over with a cloth. I only found one person who I would let near my MH as he knew not to use a pressure washer and he knew how time consuming a propper job would be.
I have also asked the prices that they charge and found out that the pressure washer cowboys charges start at £45 to £80 to do a so called exterior valet. The companies that say they offer a propper service start at £80 and go upto £300 for a large RV.
So I am now looking to build up a buisiness specialising in motorhome valeting and detailing. I have detailed my Cougar for many years,it attends many shows and I have had people ask me to do their cars for them at shows. As a motorhome owner I know what should and should not be done to a MH and only use quality non corrosive chemicals on any vehicle that I do.
I am posting on a couple of sites to see if there is sufficient interest in my services, I am based in Leeds, West Yorkshire but will travel a reasonable distance if I can book a couple of jobs close to each other.
So What do you think? Would you like your motorhome valeted to a high standard? Do you hate getting up on a ladder to clean the roof etc?
I await your feedback
