What Paperwork Do You Need to Sell Your Junk RV in Alaska?

If you’re considering selling your junk RV in Alaska, there are several key pieces of documentation and steps you must follow to comply with state and federal regulations. Initially, you’ll be asked to furnish information about your RV and yourself – a pivotal part of this process is providing the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Then, there are several other documents you need to have in your purview: 

• The Certificate of Vehicle Title

For those proceeding through an insurer, the paperwork varies depending on the vehicle’s status. If the RV has been acquired via the settlement of a claim, the Certificate of Vehicle Title should either be unstamped or stamped with words like salvage, junk or totaled. The insurance company will provide a Certificate of Vehicle Title endorsed over by the insured and accompanied by a power of attorney, an odometer disclosure statement, and a lien release. These documents are then submitted to the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) with the appropriate fee for processing. If you’re the original owner retaining the vehicle after an insurance claim, you’ll need to send the Certificate of Vehicle Title, stamped either salvage, junk, or totaled, to the DMV.

• The Bill of Sale

You must also complete the Bill of Sale Form. This form should include the seller’s complete name and address, the buyer’s complete name and address, the full description of the RV, including its VIN, make, model, year, series number, and body type, and the vehicle’s odometer reading at the time of the sale. The form should also be signed by the seller or their authorized representative. It’s crucial to note that federal and state law mandates that you furnish the buyer with a written odometer disclosure statement, and failure to do so can result in fines and/or imprisonment. Both parties should keep a copy of this statement for not less than four years.

• Fees

In terms of fees, you should anticipate a $35 charge for a title without a lien or $55 with a lien, along with a 4.25% document fee based on the higher of the RV’s sale price or its current NADA average trade-in value. If the purchase price is not indicated on either the Bill of Sale or the title, then the document fee will be based on the NADA guides or an appraisal from a licensed Alaska dealer.

Is My Old Motorhome Worth Anything in Alaska?

Two out of three general misconceptions about Alaska are related to the weather and its roads. People think that the weather is bad, which, in fact, is not true – it’s quite unexpectedly pleasant most of the time. Second, many think that this state is still back in the 19th century when it had been bought from Russia and that it still does not have proper roads. False! All the roads are paved, and the highways are well-maintained!

All of these sum up to the conclusion that having an RV in Alaska is possible. However, it stands true that you cannot ride any RV in the polar bear’s state! You need one that is resistant and able to withstand situations that need quick thinking (to speed off from a coming polar bear or to press the brakes fast enough before you hit the moose).

Which is to say, you’d better sell your old RV to HeyRV. Then, invest the money you receive into buying another, newer and better model.

How Do You Sell a Salvage or Rebuilt Title RV in Alaska?

Selling a Salvage or Rebuilt Title RV in Alaska involves several specific steps and documentation. If the RV has been acquired through an insurance claim and is marked as salvage, junk, or totaled, the insurer typically provides a Certificate of Vehicle Title stamped accordingly. This is then accompanied by an odometer disclosure statement and a release of any liens. The RV will be sold on a Bill of Sale at auction, and the original stamped Certificate of Vehicle Title is sent to the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for entry into their system. 

It’s important to note that submitting false information on your affidavit can result in a $10,000 fine, 1-year imprisonment, or both. Therefore, meticulous adherence to regulations and transparency in your documentation is crucial when selling a Salvage or Rebuilt Title RV in Alaska.

However, if you don’t feel up to the task and are jittery at the thought of having to deal with such possible repercussions, take HeyRV’s offer, and we’ll buy your salvaged fifth wheel while dealing with the paperwork!
