Are you a proud owner of an RV or motorhome that’s seen better days? Perhaps you’ve traveled the scenic routes of Oregon, creating unforgettable memories with family and friends. Life changes, however, and now it may be time to part with your beloved vehicle. That’s where Cascade Car Exchange comes into play. We help Oregon residents like you donate their recreational vehicles, ensuring they find a new lease on life while supporting local causes.
Donating your RV or motorhome is straightforward and rewarding. Whether you own a Class A Fleetwood, a Class B Airstream Interstate, or a travel trailer from Jayco, your vehicle can help support community initiatives.

How pickup works
When it comes to collecting your RV or motorhome, Cascade Car Exchange employs specialized transport solutions tailored for recreational vehicles. Given their size and weight, we typically use flatbed tow trucks for safe transport. If your RV is in a storage lot, we coordinate closely with the facility to ensure a seamless pickup. Please keep in mind that vehicle dimensions, particularly height, are critical for routing, as most states enforce a maximum clearance of 13'6”. If you’re not on-site during pickup, we’ll ensure all necessary arrangements are handled directly with the storage facility for your convenience.
What drives donation value
The value of your RV or motorhome donation is influenced by several factors, especially the condition of its house systems, such as the roof, plumbing, and air conditioning. A well-maintained RV retains higher value compared to one with water damage or mechanical issues. Recent maintenance records elevate your vehicle’s worth in the eyes of potential buyers, while seasonality also plays a role; spring auctions often yield the best prices. If your RV is a classic model, having an appraisal done by a qualified appraiser is essential for accurate valuation, particularly for IRS Form 8283 Section B documentation.
Documentation you need
- Title of the RV or motorhome
- Service records documenting maintenance and repairs
- Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) for off-road vehicles
- Appraisal from a qualified appraiser for classic RVs
- Bill of Sale if applicable
Oregon specifics
In Oregon, the DMV has specific requirements for RVs and motorhomes that differ from standard vehicles. It's essential to have a clear title to ensure a smooth donation process. Oregon also offers the option of bill-of-sale documents if the title is not available. Be sure to check local regulations to ensure compliance and ease of transfer.
