Are you ready to part ways with your RV or motorhome? Whether it’s a cherished Class A Fleetwood you’ve traveled cross-country in, or a beloved pop-up camper that has hosted countless family adventures, your vehicle can have a new journey. Many Sacramento residents, like you, have decided that it’s time to let go of their recreational vehicles, often to save on mounting storage costs or to contribute to a greater cause.

When you donate your RV or motorhome to SacraCar Share, you’re not just freeing up space in your yard or storage lot; you're also providing a valuable resource for community members who may need flexible transportation options. From family camping trips to spontaneous weekend getaways, your vehicle can help others create their own lasting memories while prioritizing sustainability and shared resources.

What we see in this class

How pickup works

When it comes to picking up your RV or motorhome, we’ve got the logistics down to a science. Depending on your vehicle's size and location, we typically employ specialized RV-transport flatbeds or drive-aways for safe and efficient transport. Most pickups occur at storage lots, requiring a coordinated effort, especially if you’re not on-site. We’ll work closely with your RV park or storage facility to ensure a smooth pickup, taking into consideration your vehicle’s length and height while adhering to state clearance regulations.

What drives donation value

The value of your RV or motorhome donation is influenced by several key factors. The condition of house-systems, such as the roof, slides, plumbing, and air conditioning, significantly impacts your vehicle's appraisal value. Notably, water damage can lead to major devaluation, so it’s crucial to be transparent about any issues. Recent maintenance records can enhance your vehicle's worth, and keep in mind that seasonality matters—spring auctions typically yield the highest returns. For classic RVs, an official appraisal may be necessary, especially when it comes to IRS Form 8283 Section B to establish value for tax purposes.

Documentation you need

Sacramento specifics

In Sacramento and throughout California, RV and motorhome donations are subject to specific DMV regulations. If your vehicle is state-titled, you’ll need to submit the title upon donation. In some cases, a bill of sale may suffice. Ensure that your vehicle meets all local requirements to streamline the donation process, and our team at SacraCar Share will assist you with the necessary paperwork to make your donation hassle-free.
