How pickup works
Pickup of your RV or motorhome is straightforward with our specialized logistics team. Depending on the size and type of your vehicle, we may use an RV-transport flatbed or arrange for a drive-away service. Most pickups occur at storage lots, especially if you are unavailable on-site. It's crucial to communicate the vehicle's length and height, as many states require a maximum clearance of 13'6”. We’ll also coordinate with any RV park or storage facility involved to ensure a smooth and hassle-free collection process.
What drives donation value
The value of your donated RV is influenced by several key factors. The condition of house systems, including the roof, slides, plumbing, and AC, generally drives the donation value more than the drivetrain itself. Significant water damage can lead to major depreciation. Recent maintenance records also bolster the appraisal value, especially as potential buyers are looking for reliability. Remember, seasonality plays a role—donations are often most valuable during spring when auctions are plentiful, and appraisals may be necessary, particularly for Class A models.
Documentation you need
- Vehicle title (proof of ownership)
- Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) for off-road models
- Service records and maintenance logs
- Appraisal form for classic RVs (IRS Form 8283 Section B)
