How pickup works
Picking up your RV or motorhome is straightforward with Idaho Wheels Forward. We utilize specialized RV-transport flatbeds for larger vehicles, while drive-away services may be employed for smaller models. If your vehicle is in a storage lot, we coordinate with the facility to ensure seamless pickup. Please note that vehicle dimensions are crucial since many states enforce a maximum height clearance of 13'6”. Our team will work closely with you to arrange logistics, especially if you're unable to be there in person.
What drives donation value
The value of your donated RV or motorhome is influenced by several key factors. Primarily, the condition of essential house systems—such as the roof, slides, plumbing, and air conditioning—will drive its value more significantly than the drivetrain. Additionally, water damage can drastically reduce the vehicle's worth. Up-to-date maintenance records showcase your proactive care and benefit potential tax deductions. With auction season peaking in the spring, now is an ideal time to consider your donation.
Documentation you need
- Current vehicle title
- Service records detailing maintenance history
- Bill of sale or MSO for off-road vehicles
- Appraisal for classic RVs (IRS Form 8283 Section B, qualified appraiser)

Idaho specifics
In Idaho, the process for donating an RV or motorhome aligns with state regulations. Ensure that the vehicle title is clear for transfer to Idaho Wheels Forward. While a bill of sale may suffice in some transactions, having a state-titled document helps streamline the process. Knowing your local DMV rules can make your donation experience smoother, facilitating the transfer and potential tax benefits.
