Preparing Your Camper Van For Renovations – My Camper Van’s Before Pics

Now that I have all of the mechanical and rv inspections done it’s time to get down to the nitty gritty lol. I was ready to tackle renovations but my camper van needed a deep clean. While that may seem like a simple thing to do, I live in an apartment.

Some apartments have access to outlets and a hose but not mine. After wracking my brain trying to find a solution, I finally settled on hiring a mobile detail company.

I love the idea of hiring a mobile detail for my camper van because it lets me know that while I’m on the road that’s an option I can be on the lookout for. I won’t hire someone to clean her all the time, but if I want to do a quarterly deep clean it’s not a bad idea.

The company I found in Atlanta had a pretty thorough list of options that covered the interior and exterior. Since I knew I would be doing repairs to the exterior soon, I opted to only clean the interior. Check out the list of options below.
