Are you ready to say goodbye to that RV taking up space in your driveway? At Big Sky Rides, we make donating your motorhome, travel trailer, fifth-wheel, or camper as breezy as a ride through Glacier National Park. With our team based right here in Montana, we understand the unique needs of our local RV enthusiasts. Whether you're in the Flathead Valley enjoying the natural beauty or in Billings, we can come to you!
We take pride in offering a donation process that is straightforward and rewarding. Not only can you declutter your life, but you may also be eligible for substantial tax deductions ranging from $8,000 to $25,000 if your RV is running. Give us a call, and we’ll help you navigate the paperwork, title transfer, and everything you need to ensure your donation makes a big impact while benefitting you.
What we accept
- Motorhomes (must be running and roadworthy)
- Travel Trailers (good condition preferred)

- Pop-up Campers (must be in usable condition)
- Toy Haulers (running and clean)
- Class A, B, or C RVs (as long as they’re drivable)
Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
A running RV holds its value significantly higher, which often results in larger tax deductions. If it's not running, we'll still consider it, but it may not qualify for the same value.
Title Issues
Make sure you have a clear title for your RV before donating. If there are any discrepancies, we can guide you on how to resolve them—no one likes a Title Tango!
Storage and Pickup Logistics
We know RVs can be a hassle to transport. Our team handles all the logistics, whether your rig is parked at an RV park or your home. Just let us know where it is!
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating your RV in Montana, title transfer is vital. You will need to fill out the Montana Department of Justice's Vehicle Title Application. Ensure it’s notarized, and don’t forget to return the plates, as they can’t be transferred with the vehicle. We’re here to help you through the DMV quirks to make this process as smooth as those peaceful Montana sunsets!
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating your RV can lead to significant tax deductions, typically ranging from $8,000 to $25,000, depending on the vehicle's condition and market value. You'll receive IRS Form 1098-C to support your deduction, so you can rest easy knowing your donation works for you come tax season.
Local context — Montana
In Montana, RVs are a way of life—from the scenic routes of Highway 89 to the numerous RV parks nestled in the Bitterroot Valley. Many Montanans find themselves needing to part with their RVs due to life's changes, such as downsizing after a long summer of adventure, relocating for that perfect job offer in Missoula, or simply deciding to upgrade. Whatever the reason, donating your RV not only helps you declutter but also supports a variety of local causes that empower our communities.
