In Fort Worth, the RV scene is as vibrant as the city’s famed Stockyards. Whether you’re parked at the Lake Worth Marina or exploring the trails in nearby parks, there’s nothing quite like the freedom of the open road in an RV.

Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
RVs in running condition are typically more valuable and can yield higher tax deductions. However, we also accept RVs that aren’t running. Just keep in mind that the value may be lower, but every donation counts.
Title Issues
A clear title is crucial for RV donations in Texas. If you’re unsure about your title, we can guide you through the process of securing it to ensure a smooth donation experience.
Storage & Pickup Logistics
We understand that storing an RV can be a hassle. That's why we offer easy pickup options throughout Fort Worth. Just let us know where your RV is located, and we’ll handle the rest.
Title transfer & paperwork
Transferring the title of your RV in Texas involves filling out the Texas DMV Form 130-U. Don’t forget to sign the back of the title. If your RV is over 10 years old, you’ll also need to get it notarized. Remember to remove your plates and return them to the DMV once the transfer is complete, ensuring a smooth transaction.
Tax deduction for this donation
The potential tax deduction for RV donations can be quite substantial, often ranging from $8,000 to $25,000, depending on its condition and market value. You’ll receive IRS Form 1098-C, confirming your donation, which you can use for your taxes. Always consult a tax professional for specifics on how this can benefit you.
Local context — Fort Worth
RVs in Fort Worth often come from a mix of lifestyles and circumstances. Many owners are relocating, downsizing, or even transitioning to a new chapter in life—like a divorce or retirement. The strong local community, centered around outdoor activities and tailgating at Texas Christian University games, makes RVs a popular choice. Most owners relish the freedom of the road, but when it’s time to let go, donating your RV can be an impactful choice.
