Have you ever found yourself with an RV or motorhome that is no longer hitting the open road? Many residents in New Hampshire face this situation, often holding on to these recreational vehicles with fond memories but no longer utilizing them.

How pickup works
When donating an RV or motorhome, our specialized logistics team at WheelWise handles all pickup arrangements. Depending on your vehicle's size and location, our experienced drivers will either use a flatbed truck or coordinate a drive-away service. For many donations, especially with larger models, we often pick up from storage lots, ensuring that we comply with routing restrictions, particularly the maximum height allowance of 13'6”. If you aren't present during the pickup, we will coordinate directly with your RV park or storage facility to ensure a seamless process.
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 AC systems tends to drive the overall value far more than the vehicle's drivetrain. For example, signs of water damage can significantly devalue your RV. Recent maintenance records are vital, as they provide insight into the vehicle's care. Timing also plays a role; donations in spring often correspond with the highest auction values. For classic RV models, obtaining an appraisal, particularly for IRS Form 8283 Section B, is recommended to maximize your tax deduction.
Documentation you need
- Title of the vehicle

- Appraisal for classic RVs
New Hampshire specifics
In New Hampshire, RVs and motorhomes must be titled similarly to other vehicles, with more stringent guidelines pertaining to their condition and safety standards. It's essential to understand whether your vehicle is state-titled or if a bill-of-sale suffices for the donation process. The New Hampshire DMV has specific rules regarding the transfer of ownership, which we will guide you through to ensure compliance and a successful donation.
