where do old motorhomes go to die?

I registered on here for some moral support. We are having a hard time getting rid of our class a holiday rambler.

You see, we let her sit too long at the side of our house. Our daughter lived full time and moved recently.

We had to have her towed out of our yard - to the mechanic and it was worse than what we thought. We have paid $2500 so far and that was our limit. She won't pass SMOG.

So far, no donation place will take it. Talked to pick and pull and they won't take it and said no one likes to take the old motorhomes.

We don't want to put any more money into it. We just want it gone.

Any ideas? Tried to giveit away for someone to live in, but they would still need to have it registered and smogged in California.

This is a nightmare.

Yup small local junkyards or salvage won't take them.

They all told me it's because of the propane on board etc. New EPA and local gov restrictions them from taking them in, for those that adhere to the rules and regs. They said they would have to invest in removing the propane and that in itself requires a permit etc etc. Not worth it for them.

Here is a great place I found where I used to live to donate MH's to.
Rawhide Boys Ranch. Founded by Bart Starr.

They do have connections across the different states. It's a REAL charitable organization where you know your donation will go for a good cause. AND you will be able to deduct your donation.

....""Then consider donating it to Rawhide—a nonprofit co-founded by NFL Hall of Famer Bart Starr. Your car donation can change lives of at risk teens and families who use our services. We also consider boat, motorcycle, RV, motor home, camper, and jet ski donations. If in doubt, call us!...""
