I would think any good car detailer should be able to do a motorhome but expect a pro-rata price increase to cover the additional time and materials relative to a regular car.

They may not have the right cleaning products though

That's why I said a 'good' detailer who knows his/her stuff. For restoring and polishing it's a matter of products suitable for paint if painted metal or gel coat if glass fibre and some are suitable for both.
Quality products usually do what is says on the tin.
As the old saying goes, if all else fails try RTFI

Don’t know of anyone down this nick of the woods John. I would think there would be plenty of work for someone without too much of an outlay.

Seems a good idea i would rather give my van to someone that knows something about camper vans then someone that just valet cars.
Most car valet use power washer or steam cleaners which should not be used on a campervan

Very true Ken, we got our previous Motorhome serviced at a local car dealership and they decided to wash it even though I had already washed it a short time before, anyway they used TFR I think it is called and only half rinsed it off resulting in damaging all the graphics, they looked like they were bleeding. It really devalued the Motorhome.

Ya, I used TFR by in France on one occasion, I didn't know what the wand was for. I soon realised however as the amount of dirt, which was invisible beforehand, which ran off was surprising. Afterwards, the men hadn't been so white since it left the showrooms.
The downside was it left some streaking on the decals, I learned afterwards that there is a separate version of TFR for vehicles with decals Turtle Was Snow Foam being one.
