Motorhome & Campervan Cleaning in Agadir
Motorhome and campervan cleaning in Agadir starts on the roof, where solar panels, roof lights, aerials and sealant beads collect dirt that streaks the sides with every rain. We reach the roof safely, treat fibreglass panels and clean the habitation cell, priced after inspection.

What does a motorhome clean include?
A motorhome clean covers twelve zones, the roof first: solar panels, vents, aerials and the sealant beads around them, then the fibreglass sides, wheel arches, awning, cab exterior, habitation door seals, the interior floor, upholstery and the kitchenette and washroom surfaces.
- Roof rinse and algae wash
- The roof is rinsed and washed first, before any other surface, using a soft-bristle brush and pH-neutral shampoo.Dirt and algae on the roof wash down with every rain and cause the black streaks below the gutter line that a side-only wash cannot stop.
- Solar panel and vent wash
- Solar panels, roof lights and vents are washed by hand around their frames, never with a pressure jet.A pressure jet forces water past the sealant bead around a roof fitting and starts the leak that later shows up inside the cell.
- Sealant-bead protection pass
- Every sealant bead around a roof penetration is cleaned with the same pH-neutral shampoo used on the panels, not a degreaser.An aggressive chemical dries out a sealant bead and shortens the years before it needs replacing by a specialist.
- Black-streak treatment
- The streak lines below the gutter rail and around roof fittings are treated with a dedicated fallout remover, not a bleach-based cleaner.Bleach lightens fibreglass gelcoat unevenly, which leaves a patch lighter than the surrounding panel.
- Fibreglass and GRP side-panel wash
- Fibreglass and GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) side panels are washed top to bottom, in roof-runoff order so no panel is re-soiled.GRP oxidises into a chalky finish under UV rather than developing swirl marks, so the wash sequence matters more than the pressure applied.
- Wheel arch and chassis rinse
- Wheel arches, running boards and chassis rails are rinsed of the road film built up on the drive down through Europe.Road film left in a wheel arch traps moisture against the chassis and accelerates corrosion on steel components.
- Awning and step wash
- The awning fabric and the entry step are washed and dried separately from the body panels.A folded, damp awning develops mildew inside its housing within days on the humid coast.
- Habitation door and window seal wash
- Door seals, window rubbers and locker seals are cleaned with the pH-neutral shampoo and checked by hand.A cracked seal lets water into the habitation cell long before a visible leak appears on the ceiling lining.
- Cab exterior wash
- The cab windscreen, mirrors and cab paint are washed to the same standard as a car exterior.The cab is the one panel a motorhome shares with a standard vehicle, so it takes the same protocol.
- Habitation floor and upholstery vacuum
- The habitation floor, the fixed or drop-down bed and the seating fabric are vacuumed with a fabric-safe extractor.Sand and grit worked into upholstery over a season cut the fibres from the inside, the same wear a beach day leaves in a car boot.
- Kitchenette and washroom wipe-down
- Kitchenette worktops, the hob surround and washroom fittings are wiped with the same pH-neutral product used on the roof.A household disinfectant left on a laminate worktop dulls the finish over repeated use.
- Interior humidity pass
- Windows and roof vents are opened during the clean to air the cell while surfaces dry.Coastal humidity keeps moisture trapped in a closed motorhome longer than in a car cabin, which is what starts a damp smell.
What we do not do on a motorhome
Six tasks stay outside a motorhome clean, sealant and habitation electrics first: we never reseal the roof, repair sealant beads, service roof fittings or touch the habitation's electrics, and we decline paint correction, coating and odor work under this service.
- Resealing the roof or replacing a sealant bead around a vent, aerial or solar-panel mount, a specialist waterproofing task outside a cleaning appointment.Car Detailing in Agadir
- Servicing habitation electrics: the leisure battery, solar charge controller, inverter or the wiring inside the cell.Mobile Car Wash in Agadir
- Adjusting or repairing a roof fitting itself: a loose solar panel, a stiff roof-light hinge or a failing vent fan.Car Detailing in Agadir
- Correcting oxidised or chalky fibreglass and GRP panels back to a gloss finish, which needs a machine polisher rather than a wash.Paint Correction Service
- Applying a long-term protective coating over the cleaned fibreglass, cab paint or wheels for the wintering season.Ceramic Coating in Agadir
- Removing a persistent damp or cooking odor that a vacuum and a wipe-down do not clear from the habitation cell.Car Odor Removal Service
How do we work, step by step?
Nine steps run in a fixed order: the roof first, so dirt does not wash down onto sides already cleaned, then the fibreglass panels, wheel arches, habitation interior and washroom, finishing under inspection light before the vehicle is handed back.
Inspect the roof, seals and fittings before any water is used
The technician checks every sealant bead, vent, aerial mount and solar-panel frame from a stepladder or podium, and flags a failing seal to the owner rather than treating it.
- 15 min
Rinse the roof from a stepladder or podium
A low-pressure rinse clears loose dirt and algae from the roof panels before any brush touches the surface, working around every fitting by hand.
- 25 min
Wash the roof panels with a soft brush and pH-neutral shampoo
The brush stays soft-bristled and the shampoo stays pH-neutral across the whole roof, since an aggressive chemical or a stiff brush degrades a sealant bead.
- 10 min
Treat the black-streak lines below the gutter rail
A dedicated fallout remover lifts the streak line without bleaching the gelcoat, then a rinse clears the product before it dries.
- 30 min
Wash the fibreglass and GRP side panels top to bottom
The sides are washed only after the roof, so the runoff produced during roof cleaning is rinsed away rather than reapplied to a clean panel.
- 20 min
Rinse wheel arches, steps and chassis rails
Road film collected on the drive down is rinsed from the wheel arches and running boards before it dries onto the chassis.
- 40 min
Vacuum the habitation interior and the cab
A fabric-safe extractor lifts sand and grit from the seating, the bed and the cab carpets, working the floor last.
- 15 min
Wipe kitchenette and washroom surfaces
Worktops, the hob surround and washroom fittings are wiped with the same pH-neutral product used on the roof, never a household disinfectant.
- 10 min
Inspect the finished motorhome under inspection light with the owner
The technician walks the roof, the sides and the cell with the owner, confirms the streak line is gone and notes any seal that needs a specialist.
Which products and tools protect the roof and the cell?
Seven products and tools cover a motorhome clean: pH-neutral shampoo, a soft-bristle telescopic roof brush, a non-bleach iron-fallout remover, a GRP-safe polymer sealant, colour-coded microfibres for each zone, a fabric-safe interior extractor and our own water tank and pump.
- pH-neutral vehicle shampoo
- A shampoo with a neutral pH, the only product used on the roof, the sides and the habitation seals.A neutral pH cleans without degrading a sealant bead or an existing wax on the cab paint.
- Soft-bristle telescopic roof brush
- An extension-pole brush with a soft-bristle head, reaching the roof from ground level or from a stepladder.A stiff brush scratches fibreglass gelcoat, which shows as a dull patch under direct sun.
- Non-bleach iron-fallout remover
- A colour-changing product that lifts embedded iron particles from the black-streak lines without bleach.Bleach lightens gelcoat unevenly, while the fallout remover targets the particle rather than the surface colour.
- GRP-safe polymer sealant
- A polymer sealant formulated for fibreglass and GRP panels, applied after the wash on the sides only.The same sealant used on a car's clear coat does not bond correctly to a gelcoat surface, so the motorhome takes its own formulation.
- Colour-coded microfibres
- Separate microfibre sets for the roof, the sides and the habitation interior, never shared between zones.A microfibre used on a wheel arch carries grit that would scratch a roof panel on its next pass.
- Fabric-safe interior extractor
- An extractor that lifts moisture and grit from upholstery and carpet without soaking the fabric through.Oversoaking a fixed bed or a bench seat in a closed cell leaves damp that coastal humidity will not dry out quickly.
- Onboard water tank and pump
- A 200 litre tank and pump carried on our own van, never connected to the customer's supply.A motorhome owner on a metered pitch keeps full use of the site's water allowance during the appointment.
Which vehicles do we work on?
Five vehicle types make up this service: the coachbuilt motorhome, the panel van conversion, the integrated A-class, the touring caravan and the 4x4 expedition camper, each carrying a different roof, seal and habitation layout worth naming here.
- Coachbuilt motorhome (Class C)A coachbuilt body has the largest single roof area of the group, with the most solar panels and roof lights to work around by hand.
- Panel van conversion / campervanA van conversion keeps the original van roof line, lower and easier to reach than a coachbuilt roof, but still carries a roof vent and habitation seals to protect.
- Integrated A-class motorhomeAn A-class body extends the habitation shell over the cab, which removes the separate windscreen-to-roof seam a coachbuilt motorhome has.
- Touring caravanA caravan has no engine bay or cab to wash, so the appointment covers the roof, the sides and the habitation cell only.
- 4x4 expedition camperA 4x4 camper carries a roof tent or an awning box on top, both treated as separate roof fittings alongside the vents and aerials.
What result can you expect?
A motorhome leaves with the roof visibly clean around every fitting, the black streaks below the gutter line gone, and the fibreglass panels free of loose dirt. The habitation cell smells fresh, though chalky oxidation on old panels needs paint correction, not a clean.
The roof shows no residual algae film after the clean, and the black streak lines below the gutter rail do not return until the roof itself collects new growth. Sealant beads around vents, aerials and solar-panel mounts stay intact, since only a soft brush and a pH-neutral shampoo touch that surface.
Fibreglass and GRP (glass-reinforced plastic) side panels come back visibly cleaner, though a panel already turned chalky under Agadir's 3000 annual sunshine hours keeps its dull finish. Restoring gloss on oxidised gelcoat is paint correction, a separate service.
The habitation cell loses the closed-in, damp smell that coastal humidity builds up between cleans, since the extractor lifts moisture out of the upholstery rather than pushing it deeper. Kitchenette and washroom surfaces are wiped with the same pH-neutral product used on the roof, never a household disinfectant that could dull a worktop.
What do we need on site?
Four conditions apply on site: more space around the vehicle than a car needs, safe access equipment for the roof rather than ground-level work, level ground for that equipment, and no cleaning at height once sustained wind makes it unsafe.
- Space around the vehicle
- More than the standard 5 m × 3 m car footprint, clear on every side, so a stepladder or podium can move around the whole vehicle.
- Safe access equipment
- The roof is never reached from ground level. Our own stepladder or podium does the climbing, not the motorhome's own ladder or awning rail.
- Level, firm ground
- Access equipment needs level, firm ground under every leg. Soft sand or a sloped pitch moves the appointment to a firmer spot nearby.
- Calm wind
- Sustained wind strong enough to make roof access unsafe stops the appointment before it starts, and the slot moves rather than proceeding at height.
- Owner present at handover
- Water is never a requirement: our own 200 litre tank supplies the whole clean, so a metered aire or campsite tap is never drawn on.
How long does it take and what does it cost?
A motorhome clean runs beyond the 150-minute complete wash and its 380 MAD saloon/SUV price: length, height and roof fittings set the true duration and cost, confirmed only after inspection, never quoted from a phone description alone.
Beyond 380 MAD and 150 minutes, the reference point of a complete wash in the largest car class, confirmed per vehicle after inspection.
- Length and roof area
- A long coachbuilt motorhome carries more roof area than a panel van conversion, which extends the roof-wash stage beyond a standard car appointment.
- Number of roof fittings
- Solar panels, roof lights, an aerial and an air-conditioning unit each add a sealant bead to work around by hand, one at a time.
- Access at the pitch or aire
- Space beyond the standard 5 m × 3 m car footprint is needed to set up a stepladder or podium safely on every side.
- Condition of the habitation cell
- A cell used through a full wintering season adds the vacuum and wipe-down stages a short-stay visitor's motorhome does not need.
- Wind on the day
- Sustained wind strong enough to make roof access unsafe moves the appointment to the next available slot rather than proceeding at height.
What is the difference between a car wash and a motorhome clean?
A car wash works from ground level in under 150 minutes for 380 MAD. A motorhome clean adds roof access equipment, pH-neutral products on every sealed joint, and a habitation cell instead of a boot, priced only after inspection.
| Factor | Car wash (Complete Wash) | Motorhome & campervan clean |
|---|---|---|
| Working position | Ground level throughout | Roof reached from a stepladder or podium |
| Roof treatment | Not a separate zone | Cleaned first, before the sides, so runoff is not re-cleaned |
| Duration | 120-150 minutes | Confirmed after inspection, beyond the complete-wash range |
| Price | 300-380 MAD | Above 380 MAD, quoted per vehicle |
| Products on sealed joints | General shampoo and sealant | pH-neutral shampoo only, to protect sealant beads |
| Interior scope | Cabin and boot | Habitation cell: bed, seating, kitchenette, washroom |
| Water source | 200 litre onboard tank | Same onboard tank, never the pitch or campsite supply |
Going further
Why does a motorhome parked for the winter need more than a wash?
European motorhomes winter across Taghazout, Tamraght and Aourir for weeks at a time, and a vehicle left standing collects salt and UV damage faster than one driven daily. A protective coating, not a repeat clean, is what slows that down.
Agadir hosts thousands of European motorhome travellers wintering on the coast, each vehicle parked for weeks or months rather than driven daily. Taghazout, Tamraght and Aourir concentrate this long-stay parking, all inside the 1-kilometre band where Atlantic salt reaches a stationary vehicle every night.
A motorhome left standing collects that salt film faster than one used daily, since nightly humidity settles the salt and the next clean falls further apart than the 15-day coastal interval recommends. Inland, that interval stretches to 30 days, a gap a laid-up coastal motorhome never reaches safely.
A ceramic coating protects the fibreglass and the cab paint through an entire wintering season, holding up under Agadir's UV and salt air far longer than a single clean can.
Common questions about motorhome and campervan cleaning
Why do black streaks appear below the roof line of a motorhome?
Dirt and algae on the roof wash down with every rain and dry into the black streak line below the gutter rail. Cleaning the sides without cleaning the roof lets that streak return after the next shower.
Can the roof be washed without damaging the solar panels or the sealant?
Yes. The roof is washed with a soft-bristle brush and a pH-neutral shampoo, working around solar panels, vents and aerials by hand rather than with a pressure jet that could force water past a sealant bead.
Do you draw water from our pitch or campsite tap?
No. We arrive with our own 200 litre tank and pump, so a motorhome on a metered aire keeps full use of its own water allowance during the appointment.
How much does a motorhome or campervan clean cost?
A motorhome clean is priced above the 380 MAD complete-wash price for a saloon or SUV, confirmed after inspection because length, height and roof fittings set the true cost.
Can chalky fibreglass panels be restored to a gloss finish?
No, not by a clean. Fibreglass and GRP oxidise into a chalky finish under UV rather than developing swirl marks, and restoring gloss needs a machine polisher through Paint Correction Service, a separate appointment.
Do you reseal the roof or work on the habitation electrics?
No. We flag a failing seal or a wiring concern to the owner and refer both to a specialist, since roof resealing and habitation electrics fall outside every service on this site.
What happens if it is windy on the day of the booking?
The appointment moves to the next available slot. Sustained wind strong enough to make roof access unsafe stops any work at height, on the roof or from a stepladder.
Which motorhome and campervan types do you clean?
Five types: the coachbuilt motorhome, the panel van conversion, the integrated A-class, the touring caravan and the 4x4 expedition camper, each with its own roof and seal layout.
