Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
Running RVs bring in higher deductions, but we also accept those in need of repairs. If your RV isn’t running, we can still help evaluate its potential value.
Title Issues
If your RV has title issues, don’t fret! We’ll guide you through the process to resolve them. A clean title is ideal, but we can discuss options if yours needs work.
Storage & Pickup Logistics
Considering the size of most RVs, we offer hassle-free pickup services. Whether you’re at home, an RV park, or in storage, we’ll work out the best option for you.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Oregon, transferring the title of your RV is straightforward but requires accurate completion of DMV forms. You'll need to fill out the 'Vehicle Title Application' and may require notarization. Don't forget to return your license plates to the DMV when you donate, as this helps prevent any future issues. We can assist you through every step of the title transfer, ensuring it's smooth sailing.
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your RV, you may be eligible for a tax deduction typically ranging from $8,000 to $25,000, based on its fair market value. Remember to collect your IRS Form 1098-C, which confirms your donation and aids in tax filing. Always consult a tax professional to understand the specifics for your situation.
Local context — Oregon
In Oregon, RVs are as much a part of life as craft beer and hiking trails. Many Oregonians choose to donate their vehicles due to life changes such as downsizing from a large family home in Beaverton to a cozy apartment in Portland, or simply relocating after a season of adventure. The vibrant RV culture here, from the lush surroundings of the Deschutes River to the rugged beauty of Crater Lake, fuels the desire to help others while also maximizing personal tax benefits.
