The Appraisal FoundationAuthorized by Congress as the source of appraisal standardsAppraiseItNow provides fair market value appraisals for recreational vehicles across the full spectrum of use cases, from IRS-required documentation for charitable donations exceeding $5,000 (reported on Form 8283) to estate tax filings, divorce proceedings, and loan collateral verification. FMV represents the price a willing buyer and seller would agree upon in an open market, with neither party under compulsion, and it is the standard the IRS and courts rely on when a defensible number is required. Our RV and vehicle appraisal services are staffed by credentialed appraisers with hands-on experience across motorized and towable units of every class and configuration.
We deliver appraisals both online and onsite throughout the United States. Clients submitting for fair market value determinations can expect a streamlined process that accommodates photo-based remote reviews as well as in-person inspections when the assignment requires it.
AppraiseItNow covers the full range of recreational vehicle categories commonly requiring a formal FMV determination.
Our appraisers analyze a combination of NADA guide data, comparable market listings, recent sales, and wholesale or auction pricing that is not publicly accessible to consumers, giving our reports a factual foundation that goes well beyond what online tools can produce.
What clients say we are known for
Across 80+ published AppraiseItNow reviews the picture is consistent: every one is from a client who paid us for an appraisal, and the three things they raise most often are that they would hire us again, how quickly we answer, and how much research is visible in the report.
Extremely communicative, didn’t have to jump through hoops, loved their system and how easy it was to give them all the information. Highly recommend going with these guys, shout out to Joe too for being awesome to work with!
Trailer Appraisal for Personal Use
I was in dire need of an appraisal for my father's mobile home, which he needed for Medicaid approval. I couldn’t find anyone to do it for a long time, but then I found this company online and decided to give them a try. I’m so glad I did. They were wonderful to work with. I sent the pictures, and within just a few days I received the appraisal. They are absolutely worth the money.
Mobile Home Appraisal
From the start they were very responsive, price competitive, and had a quick turn around time. Thank you so much to Joe who was very sweet in responding to my emails; I am looking forward to utilizing AppraiseItNow for many years to come.
Very thorough and professional — great communication and outstanding service. Highly impressed with their work!
RV-specific guides, chiefly J.D. Power (the former NADA RV guide), adjusted for year, model, mileage, condition, and options, then cross-checked against comparable market listings. Kelley Blue Book does not publish RV values, a common misconception, so a KBB figure cannot anchor an RV appraisal.
Frequently not. Several state programs are built on wholesale or trade-in benchmarks: some assess campers and travel trailers at used wholesale trade-in value, and one state reduces average retail by fixed percentages for condition classes. Where a statutory formula applies, it can control even over an actual sale price.
No. Tax authorities warn explicitly that sales between individuals do not necessarily reflect fair market value and instead pull values from industry-standard sources. A private sale price well above or below guide-supported value draws scrutiny rather than automatic acceptance, so we reconcile sale evidence against the guides.
The value is imputed, not skipped. Assessors may value unlisted models at a percentage of original cost or MSRP, and very new units without resale history are valued through adjustments to average retail. Assuming that no guide entry means no reportable value is a costly mistake.
