Class C Motorhome Donations: Provide a Lifeline to the Less Fortunate

With the economy in a slump, you may be wondering if holding on to your Class C motorhome is worth your while. While such a vehicle may be a practical option when traveling as a group or going on family adventures, the long-term cost of keeping that old RV may already be taking its toll on your finances.

If you’ve owned that motorhome for a good number of years, you may already be familiar with the costs of its maintenance. Insurance normally sets you back by $500 to $1,000 depending on the size of your vehicle.

Of course, there’s the extra expense of fuel for every outing. Maintenance and repairs typically cost $100 a month to keep your vehicle in good shape. If you don’t have enough space to park your RV, it could cost you an additional expense of somewhere around $30 to $100 a month.

If you add all these costs together, it may give you second thoughts about the practicality of keeping your old RV, especially when it is already showing signs of wear and tear after all the years of use.

Perhaps, it is high time to let go of your old RV and put it to good use. As much as your RV was useful to you in the past, it could still serve a good purpose even if it is no longer in good condition.

If you and your family have decided to let go of your RV, consider donating it to us at Goodwill Car Donations instead of selling it for a pittance or sending it to a junkyard.

By taking part in our Class C motorhome donations program, you will be able to help uplift the lives of the men and women in your community who are burdened with disabilities, lack of education, and other impediments to finding decent and stable jobs that hold the key to a productive and meaningful life.

 

Where Your Donation Will Go

When you contribute to our Class C motorhome donations program, we’ll have your RV auctioned off, with the proceeds going to the Goodwill organizations nearest your location. These IRS-approved 501(c)3 nonprofits use the funding to provide their disadvantaged beneficiaries with job and skills training, career opportunities, vocational and educational services, internship programs, financial support, livelihood assistance, and other critical community-building support services.

 

The Benefits You’ll Get from Your Donation

With the economy going south, it is advisable to let go of unnecessary expenses to free up funds for more essential purposes. If the cost of maintaining your Class C motorhome is outweighing its service, now may be the right time to let go of your vehicle. Besides, you’ll also reap the following benefits when you donate your RV to us:

  • Maximized tax deduction

Your donation will entitle you to receive a tax deduction equivalent to the selling price of your vehicle at auction. Since we’ll do our best to have your motorhome sold at its highest possible price, you can be sure to receive the maximum tax deduction when you file your itemized federal tax return in the next tax season.

  • Free towing

You won’t need to worry about the high cost of towing your heavy vehicle. We will pick up the tab for this, which would normally set you back by a couple of hundred dollars.

  • Hassle-free donation process

It takes only a few minutes to fill out our online donation form or give us a call to make your donation. We will also take care of all the paperwork for you.

  • No more expenses for maintenance and repairs

You can save a lot of money that you typically spend on buying spare parts and paying for the maintenance and repair of your old motorhome.

  • Safety consideration

You can safely donate to us without leaving the comfort of your home. We’ll arrange for an unattended pickup of your vehicle.
