Camping World RV Service - Forest Lake is the only trailer washing detailer listed in town, and it covers more ground than the name suggests. The service list includes mobile work, washing, waxing and trailer-specific cleaning, plus roof cleaning, interior cleaning, awning work and fleet accounts. That means you can get the roof scrubbed and the awning cleaned in the same visit rather than hunting for two different detailers. The 5.0 rating comes from just one review, so treat it as a starting point, not proof. Ask what they charge per foot and whether they bring their own water and power. On a trailer, the roof and the front cap take the worst of it, so ask specifically how they handle oxidation before any wax goes on.
Fiberglass that has sat outside for a few seasons goes chalky, and wax alone will not fix it. Oxidation has to come off first, usually with a compound and a machine, before any sealant or wax has a chance to bond. If a detailer quotes you a wax job on a faded cap without mentioning prep, ask questions. Ceramic coating is a bigger commitment. It lasts longer than wax but needs a properly corrected surface and regular washing to keep it working. There are no ceramic coating detailers listed in Forest Lake itself, so if that is what you want, plan to travel to one of the nearby options or ask the local detailer whether they offer it. Either way, get the price in writing before work starts.
Spring is the busy stretch in this part of Minnesota, when everyone wants the road salt and winter grime off at once. Book ahead if you want a slot in April or May. Fall is a sensible second window, since a wash and wax before storage makes spring cleanup easier. Mobile service is worth asking about, especially if your trailer sits in storage or a driveway where hauling it across town is a chore. Confirm whether the detailer brings water and power or needs a hookup from you. If you live in a neighborhood with rules about washing at home, a mobile detailer solves that problem without you having to read the covenant twice. Expect travel charges to come up if you are outside Forest Lake.

Camping World RV Service - Forest Lake carries a 5.0 rating from 1 review. One review is a small sample, so it is worth asking about their process and pricing directly before you book.
None of the listings in Forest Lake are tagged for ceramic coating. A few of the nearby detailers may offer it, so call ahead and ask about surface prep, since a coating over uncorrected fiberglass will not last.
Yes. Wax will not bring back a chalky gel coat, and it can trap the oxidation underneath. Ask the detailer to remove the oxidation first, then apply wax or sealant. Roof cleaning is also worth adding, since that is where the dirt piles up.
