Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
RVs in running condition are generally more valuable, leading to higher tax deductions. However, we also accept non-running models, which can still benefit local charities.
Title Issues
If your RV has title issues, like being lost or damaged, don't worry. We guide you through resolving these problems to ensure a smooth donation experience.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
If your RV is parked in a driveway or storage lot, we’ll arrange for a convenient pickup. Our team specializes in logistics for larger vehicles, so you don't have to stress about it.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Utah, when you donate your RV, ensure you complete the necessary title transfer documents. You’ll need to fill out the appropriate DMV forms, which may require notarization. Don’t forget to remove your plates for return to the DMV—you wouldn’t want to be driving your old RV around town after donation! Our team can help you navigate all the paperwork to make sure everything is in order.
Tax deduction for this donation
When it comes to tax deductions for your RV donation, expect a realistic range between $8,000 and $25,000, depending on the vehicle’s condition and market value. Keep in mind that you'll receive IRS Form 1098-C, which documents the donation and can help you maximize your deduction come tax time. It’s a win-win!
