Questions Houston RV owners ask us

You send the RV’s details and photos through our online form, by phone or by text. We review them and give you a cash offer, often the same day. If you want to proceed, we arrange a quick in-person look wherever the RV is in Greater Houston. At signing, we pay, handle the title paperwork and any lender payoff, then tow or drive it away at no cost. See how selling your RV to us works for the full sequence.

We are a Houston company that buys RVs directly from owners. You are considering our purchase offer, not signing up for a listing service or waiting for us to locate a retail buyer. We do not sell RVs, consign them, rent them, repair them, provide financing or accept trade-ins toward another RV. That distinction matters when comparing options: our role is to buy your RV, pay you at signing and arrange its removal at no cost.

We buy RVs in Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria, Galveston, Waller and Chambers counties and their communities. The RV can be at your home, a storage lot, an RV park or a repair shop within that area. Share its actual location when you contact us so we can confirm it is within our coverage. Our Greater Houston service area page explains where we buy. We do not offer purchasing or pickup outside Greater Houston.

Yes. You can ask questions and request an offer without committing to sell. It helps to send the RV’s year, make, model, location, condition and photos so the conversation is about your actual RV rather than a general estimate. Let us know about any loan or title issue early, too. There is no obligation to accept our offer, and we do not charge a fee or commission if you decide not to move forward.

We consider every RV type and a broad range of conditions, including clean, worn, damaged, flood-damaged, non-running and end-of-life units. That does not mean every RV will be a fit. Its condition, ownership paperwork, location and the details of the proposed purchase all need review. Send an honest description and clear photos rather than assuming your RV is too old or rough. If it is not a fit, we will tell you rather than promise a purchase we cannot complete.

Start with the year, make, model, RV type and current location. Include mileage for a motorhome, whether it runs or tows, known damage, roof or water issues, and the status of the title and any loan. Photos of the exterior, interior and problem areas help us understand what you have. You can request a cash offer for your RV with those details. Clear information reduces surprises when we see the RV in person.

We review the RV’s type, age, condition, features and overall usability, along with the details and photos you provide. For motorhomes, running condition and mileage matter; for towable RVs, structural condition and towability are important. Water intrusion, collision damage and missing components also affect the review. A clean interior does not cancel out a damaged roof or floor. Our guide to what affects an RV cash offer explains the information worth gathering before you request one.

We often provide an offer the same day we receive the details and photos needed to review an RV. That is not a guaranteed deadline, especially when important information is missing or ownership questions need attention. The offer is based on what you describe. If our in-person look matches that description, it stands. If we find something significant that was not disclosed, we explain the issue and any change in the amount before you decide whether to proceed.

You do not need to complete repairs before contacting us. We consider RVs as they are, including damaged and non-running units. Basic tidying can make photos clearer, but disclose defects rather than covering them up or spending money just to request an offer. Describe what works, what does not and what you are unsure about. If you are weighing a repair, you can first ask us to review the RV in its current condition without assuming the expense will increase our offer.

A direct offer gives you a specific buyer and a defined process, including payment, paperwork and removal. A private sale puts the advertising, inquiries, showings and buyer coordination on you. Consignment involves another business seeking a buyer under its own agreement and fee terms. We do not provide consignment, and we charge no fees or commissions for our purchase. Compare the amount you would receive, the work involved and the uncertainty of each option rather than treating them as identical services.

We pay at signing, using a cashier’s check, bank transfer or cash. Discuss the payment method with us before the appointment so you understand how the exchange will work. If a lender is involved, we can pay the lender directly and pay you any remaining equity. Payment and ownership paperwork are coordinated as part of closing, followed by pickup. We do not ask you to accept an unspecified promise of payment after we have taken the RV away.

We charge no fees, commissions or pickup costs. If the RV matches your description during the in-person look, the offer stands. An outstanding loan is separate from a fee: money paid to your lender reduces the equity available to you. If you owe more than our offer, you must cover that difference at closing. Ask us to explain the purchase amount, any lender payoff and the amount you will receive before you sign so those figures are clear.

No. A cash offer does not require you to receive the purchase amount as physical bills. Our payment options are a cashier’s check, bank transfer or cash, with the method discussed before signing. Tell us your preference and raise any questions about verification in advance. If there is a loan, part or all of the purchase amount may go directly to the lender. Your payment is any equity left after that payoff, not automatically the full offer amount.

Yes. You should understand the agreed purchase amount, payment method, lender payoff if applicable and any equity you will receive before signing. If our inspection reveals an undisclosed significant issue, we explain any revised offer rather than presenting a different number without a reason. You can decline to proceed. For questions about verifying a cashier’s check or receiving a bank transfer, confirm the appropriate steps with your bank before the appointment rather than relying only on a payment image or message.

Yes, we can buy an RV with an outstanding loan and pay the lender directly. You receive any equity remaining after the payoff. If the payoff is higher than our offer, you must provide the difference at closing; we do not finance that gap or make loans. Tell us about the lender when you first contact us so the payoff can be addressed early. Read more about selling an RV you still owe money on.

An electronic title held by a lienholder is not the same as a lost paper title. Texas uses an electronic lien and title program, so first confirm how your lender holds the title and handles payoff. Texas lienholders must release a lien within 10 days of receiving the payoff, but that does not establish when every remaining title step will be completed. We coordinate the purchase paperwork and payoff; confirm your lender’s requirements and any title questions with the lender or TxDMV.

Contact us before assuming the sale is impossible. We need to understand whether the title is lost, held by a lender or affected by another ownership issue. A certified copy of a lost Texas title is requested from TxDMV using Form VTR-34. The appropriate next step depends on your situation, so confirm requirements with TxDMV rather than using a bill of sale as an assumed substitute. Our page on selling an RV with a missing title explains the distinctions.

Possibly, but the person signing must have authority to transfer ownership. If the owner died without a will and no probate is opened, heirs may be able to use Form VTR-262, the Affidavit of Heirship for a Motor Vehicle, subject to TxDMV conditions. With a will, probate is generally required. Share the situation before scheduling pickup. Confirm the necessary documents with TxDMV, the county tax office or an attorney; possession of the RV alone does not establish authority to sell it.

In Texas, trailers with a gross weight over 4,000 pounds must be titled. Trailers weighing 4,000 pounds or less only need registration, and a title is optional. That distinction applies to travel trailers as well, so do not assume every towable RV has identical paperwork requirements. Send us the trailer’s details and whatever ownership documents you have. Confirm its weight classification and the documents needed for your transaction with TxDMV or your county tax assessor-collector’s office before closing.

No. We arrange the in-person look where the RV is located within Greater Houston, including a home, storage lot, RV park or repair shop. After signing and payment, we tow or drive it away at no cost to you. Tell us whether it runs, whether a trailer can be moved and whether there are access restrictions. You do not need to make a non-running motorhome roadworthy just to bring it to us for an offer.

We take a quick look at the RV to compare its actual condition with the description and photos you provided. Point out known damage, leaks, mechanical problems and anything that may be difficult to see in photos. If the RV matches what you described, the offer stands. A significant undisclosed issue can change the number, but we explain what we found and why it affects the offer. You can walk away rather than accept a revised amount.

Share the location, gate procedures, appointment requirements and any restrictions on vehicle removal before we schedule the visit. Let us know if the RV is blocked in, has limited clearance or cannot roll or steer. For a repair shop, check what authorization the shop needs to release it and discuss any outstanding matters directly with the shop. Our pickup is free, but advance access information helps us assess the removal instead of discovering an obstacle after signing.

Gather your ownership documents, keys and lender information, and remove personal belongings before the handoff. Make the RV accessible and tell us about anything that could affect safe movement, such as damaged wheels, a stuck slide or an uncertain hitch connection. Do not attempt repairs or move an unsafe RV just for the appointment. Coordinate access with the storage office, park or shop if needed, and keep copies of the completed sale documents for your records.

We consider Class A gas and diesel motorhomes, Class C and Super C motorhomes, and Class B camper vans. You can contact us about a clean, regularly used motorhome or one that has been sitting with mechanical or interior problems. Include its year, make, model, mileage, running condition and known damage. Photos help us review the actual unit rather than its category alone. All these types are considered, but we cannot promise that every individual motorhome will be a fit.

Yes. We consider travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, pop-up campers, hybrid campers and truck campers. Tell us the exact type, approximate condition, current location and whether it can be moved. For a folding camper, include photos showing the fabric and any damaged areas when practical and safe. For other towables, mention roof, floor, slide and hitch problems. We review clean and damaged units alike, while being honest if a particular camper is not a fit.

Yes. We consider damaged RVs, including those with water intrusion, soft floors, roof problems or collision damage. Describe the affected areas and send close-up photos along with wider views of the RV. If you do not know the full extent of a problem, say so rather than guessing. You do not have to repair it before requesting a review. Our information on selling a damaged RV as-is in Houston explains how to present its condition clearly.

We consider flood-damaged RVs, but disclosure is important. Tell us about the flooding event, how high the water reached if known, affected systems and any cleanup or repairs. Houston’s humidity and heavy rain can also make ongoing moisture problems important to document. Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and Hurricane Beryl in 2024 caused major regional flooding and damage, but each RV needs its own review. Photos, repair records and an honest account help us assess yours without assuming every flooded unit is alike.

Not automatically. We consider non-running motorhomes and old or end-of-life RVs, including units with substantial wear or damage. Explain whether it starts, rolls and steers, and show the tires, body and interior in your photos. For a towable, describe any frame, axle or hitch concerns you know about. Some units will not be a fit, and we will say so honestly. If we agree to buy yours, we arrange removal at no cost rather than requiring you to transport it.

The seller signs the title with the sale date and, for motorized vehicles, the odometer reading, plus Form 130-U showing the sales price. We handle the purchase’s title paperwork, but you should review everything before signing and retain copies. Texas requires the buyer to title the vehicle in their name within 30 days of the sale. Title work goes through the county tax assessor-collector’s office. Confirm any transaction-specific document requirements with that office or TxDMV.

Yes. Remove the license plates because they stay with you, the seller. You should also file a Vehicle Transfer Notification, Form VTR-346, with TxDMV within 30 days of the sale. Filing online is free and protects you from tickets, tolls and liability after the sale. Keep your confirmation with copies of the signed documents. This is a seller-side step worth completing even when the buyer handles the title paperwork; confirm any questions about the notification directly with TxDMV.

Verify who is buying, understand the payment method and review the documents before signing. Be cautious about pressure to release the RV before payment is verified or requests to send money back from an unexpected overpayment. Check payment questions directly with your bank using contact details you obtain independently. Keep copies of the agreement and completed ownership documents. Our guide to RV selling scams and warning signs offers additional points to consider when comparing a direct purchase with unfamiliar buyer inquiries.

The buyer pays Texas motor vehicle sales tax, which is 6.25%, when titling; the seller does not pay that sales tax. The sales price belongs on Form 130-U, so review the amount before signing. This answer concerns the Texas motor vehicle sales tax on the transfer, not every possible tax question arising from your circumstances. Confirm transaction-specific questions with the county tax office, and consult a qualified tax professional if you need advice about your individual tax situation.
