RV Appraisal Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is an RV appraisal?

What types of RVs does AppraiseItNow appraise?
We appraise most motorized and towable recreational vehicles, including motorhomes (Class A, B, C, and Super C), travel trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, camper vans, truck campers, park model RVs, and vintage or custom units that are classified as personal property.
Are your RV appraisals USPAP-compliant?
Yes. All AppraiseItNow RV appraisals are prepared in compliance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) and tailored to the intended use of the report.
Are your RV appraisals accepted by the IRS, insurers, and courts?
Our advanced RV appraisals are commonly used for IRS filings, insurance claims, estate matters, divorce, and legal proceedings. Acceptance ultimately depends on the reviewing party, but our reports are designed to meet professional and regulatory standards.
How much does an RV appraisal cost?
RV appraisal fees are scope-based and quoted as a fixed fee before work begins.

Do you need to inspect the RV in person?
In many cases, RV appraisals can be completed remotely using detailed photos, VIN information, specifications, and supporting documentation. Onsite inspections may be recommended or required for complex, high-value, or disputed assignments.
What information do I need to provide?
We typically request photos, VINs, year/make/model details, floor plans (if available), condition notes, modification details, service records, and any relevant ownership or use documentation. Clear documentation helps streamline the appraisal and control cost.
Can you appraise multiple RVs or a fleet?
Yes. We regularly appraise RV collections, estates, dealer inventory, rental fleets, and multi-unit portfolios. Discounted aggregate pricing may apply for larger groups.
Do you buy, sell, or broker RVs?
No. AppraiseItNow is fully independent. We do not buy, sell, broker, or finance RVs, ensuring our valuations remain unbiased and defensible.
