Is there any internet source of phone app to locate car washes that can handle a 12'10" RV?

I am in Austin, TX and looking for my first RV wash facility for my new Bounder, which is 12'10" per manufacturer's specs. I just checked out a facility that sells themselves as being able to handle any truck or RV but the fine print says "up to 12' high"

 

Is there a source I can access via internet that will list car/truck washes locations with a high enough clearance. How do full time RVers find a place to wash when they enter a new town. I am about to be a full timer travelling the western US and Canada.

BlueBeacon is one. Most any truck wash can do a motorhome.

Many times, there are mobile RV wash companies that advertise in some RV parks, or the RV parks know of RV wash companies. It is very rare to find a park that will allow you to wash your own rig while in the park.

Blue Beacon is nationwide and actually has an iPhone app so you can find their locations. And of course there are independent truck washes and mobile RV detailers, as noted above. I think you'll find once you get out there that there are plenty of these places, although there may not be one in every small town.

Blue Beacon RV wash is not the same as their truck washing procedure. Pricing is right too.

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately, Blue Beacon doesn't have a facility in the Austin area. I have searched for truck washes and it looks like I will have travel about 30 miles up IH-35 to Georgetown. I will also contact local RV parks to see if they can direct me to a local establishment.

We use a mobile auto / RV operation. The fellow comes out to our house where RV is located and washes rig. We first learned of this service via one of our local RV Parks. Since then we just call him before we hit the road and he comes out and takes care of the rig. Excellent service and very convenient. There should be many such operations in just about any town anywhere. Ask some of the local RVers for recommendations. Good luck. Dennis

The closest Blue Beacon to you is down in San Antonio. I Googled "Austin Texas truck wash" and got three hits but I know nothing about any of them. Sorry, that's the best I can do for you.
