What we accept

Condition & logistics

Running vs. Not

An RV in running condition fetches a higher tax deduction, typically between $8,000 and $25,000. However, we also accept RVs that aren't operational, which might still hold value for parts or repairs.

Title Issues

If your RV has a title issue, don't fret. Our team can help navigate this, but having a clear title makes the donation process smoother and quicker for everyone involved.

Storage/Pickup Logistics

Due to their size, we understand that storage can be an issue. We arrange convenient pick-up services tailored to your schedule, so you don’t have to worry about where to park your RV.

Title transfer & paperwork

Transferring the title of your RV in Pennsylvania is straightforward but requires some attention to detail. You'll need to fill out Form MV-1 for vehicle title transfer, and it must be notarized. It’s also essential to return your old license plates to the DMV to avoid any future liabilities. Our team can guide you through each step to ensure a hassle-free experience.

Tax deduction for this donation

When you donate your RV, you could see a tax deduction in the range of $8,000 to $25,000, depending on its condition and resale value. After your donation, we’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, which documents the donation and is essential for your tax records. Always consult with a tax professional to maximize your benefits.

Local context — Pennsylvania

In Pennsylvania, many RV donations come from folks looking to downsize or make a fresh start. Maybe it's that time of life when the kids are off to college, or perhaps a recent divorce has led to newfound adventures. With sprawling state parks and campgrounds across the Keystone State, the RV lifestyle is popular, and when it’s time to move on, donating can be a fulfilling option. From the bustling suburbs of Philly to the quiet corners of Lancaster County, residents are realizing that their RVs can do more than sit idle—they can spark change.
