We keep the selling process straightforward, and that includes offering free RV removal across all 50 states with nearly every transmission-damaged RV we purchase. While rare, some exceptions may apply based on your location or access conditions, but if that’s the case, we’ll let you know upfront so there are no surprises.
Whether your RV is stuck in a shop in Los Angeles, parked in a Houston driveway, or sitting idle in a rural part of Colorado, HeyRV makes it fast and hassle-free to sell your RV with transmission problems. Just send us a few details about your vehicle’s condition, and we’ll respond with a fair, no-obligation cash offer.

We pay cash for RVs with a wide range of transmission-related issues, including:
Class A motorhomes with failed gearboxes or stuck in gear

Older RVs with manual transmissions that won’t shift

Even if your RV is heavily damaged or won’t move or start, we’ll take a look. From salvageable parts to scrap value and resale components, your RV might still be worth more than you think. Contact us today to request a quote for your RV with transmission damage!
Dealing with an RV that won’t shift, move, or even start because of transmission failure can be a logistical nightmare. The last thing you need is to worry about how to tow or transport a vehicle that won’t drive. That’s why HeyRV offers free towing and pickup nationwide with almost every purchase we make.
In the rare event that free pickup isn’t possible, such as properties in extremely remote areas, places with restricted access, or locations with limited vehicle clearance, we’ll let you know right away. No surprise charges. And if you’re able to bring the RV to us instead, we may boost your cash offer to make up for the effort.
Let us handle the heavy lifting so you can move on from your transmission-damaged RV without the hassle.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better experience! My RV had a salvage title, and I thought it would be a tough sell, but they took care of all the details.”
Rachel from Sacramento, CA
“I had this beat-up old RV just sitting there collecting dust—engine problems, some damage, and no way I was dealing with the stress of selling it myself. I found HeyRV, and honestly, they made everything super simple. They gave me a solid offer, picked it up fast, handled the paperwork, and paid me right then and there. Easiest decision I’ve made in a while!”
Greg from San Diego, CA
“I was skeptical at first, but HeyRV proved to be everything they promised. I needed to sell my camper fast, and they gave me a great price without the usual back-and-forth. The team was friendly, professional, and handled everything for me.”
Emily from Los Angeles, CA
“I can’t believe how simple it was! HeyRV gave me a great price for my old motorhome, and I didn’t have to deal with any complicated steps. They were prompt, courteous, and helped me every step of the way. I am very happy with the experience.”
Samantha from San Francisco, CA
“They offered me a fair price, picked up the RV for free, and even handled the title transfer for me. It was hands-down the easiest sale I’ve ever made!”
Mike from Fresno, CA
“If you’re looking to sell your junk RV, this is the place to go! I was ready to scrap my RV, but HeyRV saw value in it and offered me cash on the spot. The process was smooth and transparent.”
John from Oakland, CA
Even with major drivetrain issues, RVs can still have value. Buyers, recyclers, and rebuilders look at a variety of factors when assessing transmission-damaged RVs:
At HeyRV, we take all of these into account to offer you the most accurate and fair price for your RV, regardless of its drivetrain status.
Type and Extent of Transmission Failure
Is it a minor slipping issue, or has the entire transmission seized? The more serious the failure, the more it may affect the offer.
RV Class and Market Demand
Class A RVs, diesel pushers, and luxury trailers tend to retain value, even with transmission problems, due to their high-quality parts and resale demand.
Engine and Other Mechanical Systems
If the engine, brakes, suspension, or electronics are still working well, they can boost the overall value.
Mileage and Maintenance History
Low mileage and good service records can significantly improve the value—even if the transmission failed unexpectedly.
Interior Condition
Appliances, cabinetry, upholstery, and working amenities (like plumbing or power systems) all contribute to a stronger offer.
Title Type
Whether you have a clean, salvage, or rebuilt title, we’ll still make an offer. Just let us know upfront.
Location and Towability
Accessibility affects your offer. If the RV is easy to remove, your payout may be higher.
Transmission repairs are some of the most expensive and complex fixes an RV can require. Rebuilding or replacing a faulty transmission can cost thousands of dollars, not to mention the time, specialized labor, and difficulty in sourcing compatible parts for older or less common models. Instead of sinking money into a major mechanical overhaul, you can sell your junk RV as-is and get paid fast.
A non-drivable RV can also become a burden. Whether it’s racking up storage fees, violating HOA regulations, or taking up valuable space on your property, a broken transmission can turn your vehicle into a liability.
At HeyRV, we offer a no-hassle process, fair market offers, and free towing in most cases. If your RV won’t move under its own power, we’ll take care of everything—no repair bills, no stress. If you’re tired of watching your RV sit idle or getting quotes that don’t reflect its real value, it’s time to sell your RV with transmission issues to HeyRV!
A bad transmission doesn’t mean your RV is worthless—not to us. At HeyRV, we specialize in buying RVs that others won’t touch, including those with major drivetrain issues. Whether your RV needs a simple transmission service or a complete rebuild, we’re ready to make you a fair, no-obligation offer based on what your vehicle is still worth.
Still have questions about how to sell your RV with a bad transmission? Here are answers to some of the most common inquiries we receive from sellers dealing with serious drivetrain problems.
Yes, in most cases we offer free towing and removal for RVs that have transmission issues. Whether your RV is stuck at a repair shop, parked in your driveway, or completely immobile, we’ll take care of the logistics for you. Please note that in some rare situations, free towing may not be possible. If that’s the case, we’ll let you know ahead of time, with no hidden fees or last-minute surprises.
We purchase RVs with a wide range of transmission problems. Whether your unit is slipping gears, locked in park, leaking fluid, or won’t move at all, we’ll still consider it for a cash offer. Even if your RV is stuck in limp mode, has error codes flashing on the dash, or needs a total transmission replacement, we’re happy to evaluate it based on its full resale or salvage potential.
Absolutely. Many of the RVs we purchase have more than just mechanical issues. If your vehicle also has roof damage, water intrusion, electrical problems, cosmetic flaws, or even a salvage title, we can still make you an offer. We look at the RV as a whole—frame, appliances, interior condition, title status, and more—so transmission problems are just one factor in our overall evaluation.
No, you don’t need to make any repairs. We buy RVs in as-is condition, including those with complete transmission failure. Whether the repair is minor or would cost thousands of dollars, you can skip the expense and hassle by selling your RV to us directly. Just give us an accurate description of its condition, and we’ll handle the rest.
Typically, you’ll need a valid title to transfer ownership of the RV. If the title has been lost, damaged, or you’re dealing with a rebuilt or salvage title due to the transmission issue or other damage, that’s okay—we frequently purchase RVs under those circumstances. Let us know what paperwork you have, and we’ll guide you through the steps based on your state’s requirements.
Absolutely. Many of the RVs we purchase have multiple issues—from salt damage and water leaks to collision damage, blown engines, or missing parts. We specialize in buying “problem” RVs and turning them into parts, scrap value, or rebuild projects. Don’t worry about combining damage types—we assess the vehicle as a whole and give you our best offer.
In most states, you’ll need a valid title to transfer ownership. If your title is lost or has been marked as salvage due to corrosion or other damage, we can still help. Let us know your situation, and we’ll guide you through the paperwork requirements for your location.
HeyRV specializes in RVs with mechanical and drivetrain problems, including those most buyers avoid. Local junkyards, in the rare case that they buy RVs, often only pay for scrap value and don’t take into account the usable components or resale potential of your RV. We do. Our team evaluates each vehicle fairly and offers competitive cash payouts.
