Why Dead Motorhomes Cost More Than Other Junk

A Class A motorhome isn't a couch. It's a 13-ton vehicle with axles, a diesel engine, propane tanks, air conditioning refrigerant, and a frame that won't fit through a landfill gate without serious cutting. Most tow companies won't touch one that doesn't roll, and the ones that will quote you $1,200 just to winch it onto a flatbed—then you still own the problem.

I pulled a 1998 Fleetwood Bounder out of a back forty in Commerce, Oklahoma last month. Tires flat for six years, roof caved in, wasps in the dash. Owner had called three scrap yards; two hung up when he said "motorhome," the third wanted $850 to tow it to him and offered $200 for the shell. He would've been $650 in the hole and still responsible for title surrender. We showed up with a lowboy, a crew, and a plan. Gone in four hours.

What the $9,000 Flat Rate Covers

Here's exactly what you're paying for:

  • Pickup from any location: driveway, field, woods, behind a barn. If we can reach it with equipment, we haul it.
  • EPA-compliant refrigerant recovery: federal law (see EPA Section 608) requires certified techs to recover R-134a and older refrigerants before crushing. We handle it.
  • Hazmat disposal: batteries, propane, oil, antifreeze, waste tanks—removed and disposed legally.
  • Title and DMV paperwork: we process the title surrender in your state (most states require proof of disposal before they'll release the title). Check your state's requirements at USA.gov DMV Services.
  • Certificate of Destruction: legal proof the vehicle is destroyed, mailed to you within 30 days.
  • $2 million liability insurance: protects your property during removal.
  • No hidden fees: $9,000 is the price. Not $9,000 "plus disposal" or "plus environmental."

Finance It at $150 a Month, No Credit Check

We're not a bank. We're a hauling company that understands nobody budgets $9,000 for a dead motorhome. So we finance it in-house: roughly $150 a month over 60 months, zero interest, zero credit pull. You lock the price at usafederaljunkremoval.com/get-it-gone, we schedule pickup, and you start payments after the rig's gone. No paperwork avalanche, no third-party lender.

What You Can Do Yourself (And Why Most People Don't)

You could haul a dead Class A yourself if you have:

  • A heavy-duty rollback or lowboy trailer rated for 26,000+ pounds.
  • A truck with the towing capacity (most consumer pickups won't cut it).
  • An EPA 608-certified tech to recover refrigerant legally ($200–$400 if you hire one).
  • A landfill that accepts whole motorhomes (most don't) or a dismantler willing to buy it (they'll pay $300–$800 and you deliver it).
  • Title surrender forms filed with your state DMV.

It's possible. I've met two landowners in 30 years who pulled it off. One spent three weekends and $1,100 in equipment rental and still had to bribe a cousin with a semi license. The other one's motorhome is still sitting there.

Class B and Class C Cost Less

The $9,000 flat rate is for Class A motorhomes—the bus-style giants, 26–45 feet long, built on a heavy commercial chassis. If yours is smaller:

  • Class C motorhome (the cab-over style, usually 20–31 feet): starts at $1,600. We hauled a Tioga in Palmyra, Virginia two weeks ago for $1,899.
  • Class B motorhome (van conversion, think Roadtrek or Sportsmobile): starts at $4,100.
  • Travel trailer (towable, not motorized): starts at $1,099.

Call 405-698-4285 if you're not sure which you have. I can usually tell from a photo.

How Fast Can You Get It Gone?

We schedule most Class A removals within 5–10 business days. The limiting factor is usually equipment availability (we need a lowboy and a mini excavator if it's sunk into mud or overgrown). If it's on flat pavement and accessible, we can move faster. Our fastest was three days from call to gone—guy in Arizona whose HOA was threatening daily fines.

Check your coverage at usafederaljunkremoval.com/coverage—we're in all 50 states, 38,000+ cities.

Why Scrap Yards and Tow Companies Say No

Scrap yards make money on steel tonnage. A Class A motorhome has maybe $400–$800 in scrap steel, but it costs them $1,500+ in labor and equipment to process it (cutting, hazmat, refrigerant, disposal fees). So they lose money unless you pay them. Tow companies are even worse—they'll move it for $1,200–$2,000, drop it wherever you say, and hand you the keys back. You still own it.

We're one of the only companies in the U.S. that handles the entire chain: removal, destruction, title, certificate. We've done it since 1993 for homeowners, banks (repossessed motorhomes rotting on dealer lots), and corporations. AT&T and State Farm trust us with their big assets; you can too.

Can I junk a motorhome without a title? In most states, yes—we can process a removal with a bill of sale, VIN verification, and an affidavit of ownership. Some states (like California) require extra DMV steps. Call 405-698-4285 and we'll walk you through your state's rules. Your state DMV's specific requirements are listed at USA.gov Motor Vehicle Services.

What if the motorhome is stuck in mud or trees? We bring a mini excavator and a winch truck. If it's on your property and we can physically reach it with equipment, we can haul it. The $9,000 flat rate covers typical access. If it's down a ravine or requires tree removal, we'll quote that separately—but we've hauled motorhomes from places you wouldn't believe.

⚠Required notice
Licensing varies by city & state. We do not claim to be pre-licensed in every jurisdiction we appear to serve. Where local permits/credentials are required and we can't reasonably obtain them in time, we sub-contract a properly licensed local operator. Mobile homes, motorhomes, RVs & campers: Portland OR, Vancouver WA, and a growing list of cities now require certified asbestos testing before haul or demolition. If a sample comes back hot, abatement adds thousands in cost and unlicensed handling can carry up to one year in county jail. We do not haul around the law — we comply or we hand off.
