In Texas, many owners have cherished their RVs and motorhomes as a second home on wheels, filled with memories of family road trips and outdoor adventures. Whether you own a classic Class A Fleetwood, a compact Class B Airstream, or a spacious Class C Thor, these vehicles often serve as more than just transportation; they become a lifestyle. However, as life changes, so too can your need for an RV.
Many donors find themselves with an RV that's no longer being used, taking up precious space and incurring steady storage fees. Donating your RV not only alleviates those costs, often ranging from $150 to $300 per month, but it also allows you to support local charities through Rev Up Giving. Our streamlined process ensures that your donation is hassle-free and impactful, allowing you to focus on creating new adventures while giving back to the community.

How pickup works
When it comes to picking up your RV or motorhome, Rev Up Giving employs specialized flatbed transport for larger vehicles to ensure a safe and efficient pickup. We typically coordinate with storage lots or RV parks if the donor isn’t on-site, ensuring a smooth transition. It's essential to communicate the vehicle's length and height, as most states mandate a maximum clearance of 13'6”. Our team works diligently to arrange everything, from scheduling the pickup to navigating the logistics of any RV facility involved.
What drives donation value
The donation value of your RV or motorhome is influenced by several key factors. The condition of house systems, such as the roof, slides, plumbing, and air conditioning, plays a crucial role in determining its worth, often outweighing the state of the drivetrain. Water damage can severely impact value, so be sure to assess this before donation. Recent maintenance records and seasonal timing—spring auctions are notably high—can also elevate your vehicle’s appraisal. For classic RVs, obtaining an appraisal can help substantiate the value for tax purposes, specifically IRS Form 8283 Section B.
Documentation you need
- Vehicle title
- Service records (if available)
- Original Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) for off-road models
- Appraisal for classic vehicles (IRS Form 8283 Section B)
- Release of liability form
Texas specifics
In Texas, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) requires specific documentation for RVs and motorhomes. Ensure you have the vehicle title ready for a seamless donation process. Texas often issues titles for RVs, but if you have a bill of sale instead, consult with the DMV about how to validate it. Understanding your state's regulations will help avoid any potential delays in your donation.
