Donate an RV or Motorhome in Seattle for a Great Cause

Turn your unused RV or motorhome into a lifeline for those in need with RideRebirth, making a difference in our Seattle community.

At RideRebirth, we recognize the unique value that RVs and motorhomes bring to their owners and to our community. Many Seattle residents have invested in these recreational vehicles to create lasting memories on road trips, family outings, and spontaneous adventures. Alas, as life changes, those RVs may sit idle in storage lots, draining budgets with monthly payments and upkeep costs. Donating your RV or motorhome can alleviate those financial burdens while providing a meaningful impact on those in need.

Your generous donation not only helps fund local initiatives but also offers you the chance to declutter your storage space and say goodbye to the costly storage fees ranging from $150 to $300 per month. Whether you have a classic Class A beauty from Fleetwood or a compact Class B Airstream, you can help someone else hit the road towards new journeys. Join us in supporting our community through your RV donation today!

What we see in this class

How pickup works

When it comes to picking up your donated RV or motorhome, we have the logistics covered! Our specialized RV-transport flatbed trucks can handle units of various sizes, ensuring a safe and efficient transportation process. Depending on the size and height of your vehicle, we’ll coordinate with RV parks or storage facilities to schedule a convenient pickup time. This may involve drive-away services or collaboration with the storage lot to secure a smooth transfer. Most states enforce a height clearance of 13'6", so we manage all routing and clearance requirements for you. Rest assured, we will make the donation process effortless!

What drives donation value

Understanding the market value of your RV or motorhome is essential when considering a donation. Key factors include the condition of the house systems such as the roof, slides, plumbing, and air conditioning, which can significantly influence overall value more than just the drivetrain. Water damage is a red flag and can lead to a substantial decrease in valuation. Maintaining recent service records can bolster your vehicle's appeal. Seasonal demand also plays a role—spring is when RV auctions peak. For classic RVs, obtaining an independent appraisal (IRS Form 8283 Section B) from a qualified appraiser may also be beneficial and adds credibility to your donation.

We accept various types of RVs, including Class A, B, and C motorhomes, as well as travel trailers, 5th wheels, pop-up campers, and toy haulers. If you have a recreational vehicle, we would love to discuss your potential donation!
Do I need to make repairs before donating my RV?
While we appreciate well-maintained RVs, you are not required to make extensive repairs before donating. However, vehicles in better condition typically have a higher value, so we encourage you to share any maintenance records you have.

Our team will coordinate with you and your storage facility or RV park to arrange a convenient pickup time. We utilize specialized RV-transport flatbeds for safe transport, ensuring a smooth process tailored to your vehicle's specific dimensions.
What if my RV has water damage?
Water damage can significantly reduce your RV's value. However, it can still be donated. We encourage you to disclose any issues during the donation process so we can guide you appropriately.
How do I determine the value of my donated RV?
The value of your RV is typically determined by its condition, age, and market demand. Recent service records help, and if it's a classic RV, you may want to obtain an appraisal to support your tax deduction.
Is there a tax deduction for my RV donation?
Yes! You may qualify for a tax deduction based on the assessed value of your RV. We will provide you with the necessary documentation to assist with your tax return.
