Condition & logistics
Running vs. Non-Running RVs
We accept both running and non-running RVs! If your motorhome is still in good shape, it's more valuable and can yield better tax deductions. Even a rig that needs work can be turned into a charitable contribution.
Title Issues
If your RV has title issues, don’t worry! We can walk you through the process to resolve any complications. A clear title will help you maximize your tax benefits, but don’t let paperwork hold you back from donating.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
We understand that RVs can take up space, and storage can be a headache. We offer convenient pickup options throughout Virginia, whether your RV is at home, in a storage lot, or at a campground. Let us handle the logistics!
Title transfer & paperwork
Transferring the title of your RV in Virginia is straightforward. You'll need to fill out the Virginia DMV Form VSA 17A. It’s essential that both donor and recipient sign the title, and you may need to notarize the transfer. Don’t forget to return your old license plates to the DMV as part of the process. Make sure your paperwork is in order so your donation goes off without a hitch!
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your RV, you could see tax deductions ranging from $8,000 to $25,000, depending on its value. AutoHeritage Donate will provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, which documents your contribution for tax purposes. This is an easy way to help yourself while helping others—talk about a win-win!
Local context — Virginia
In Virginia, RVs are often donated for various reasons, including downsizing, relocation, or simply moving on from life’s adventures. Areas like Virginia Beach and Lake Anna are home to many RV enthusiasts who sometimes need to part with their vehicles. Divorce or lifestyle changes can also prompt individuals to donate their RVs, and the community benefits greatly from these generous acts. With many RV parks and campgrounds scattered throughout the state, it’s easy to see how these vehicles become a part of Virginia's vibrant outdoor culture.
