Hawaii Private RV Owners

Sell Your RV in Hawaii

EasyRVBuyer accepts inquiries from private owners who want to sell a motorhome, travel trailer, or fifth wheel located in Hawaii. You can ask about an RV in good working condition or one with mechanical problems, water damage, structural concerns, or other known issues.

Start by sharing your RV's island, general location, year, make, model, and current condition. The company can review those details to determine whether a direct purchase may be possible.

Hawaii requires special consideration because inspection, transportation, and purchase arrangements can differ between islands. An inquiry does not guarantee an offer, pickup, ocean shipping, or completed sale.

Private RV Owner Program

Can Private RV Owners Sell to EasyRVBuyer in Hawaii?

EasyRVBuyer's private-owner program allows individuals to submit information about recreational vehicles they personally own. Hawaii is included in the company's nationwide inquiry directory.

Owners on Oahu, Maui, Hawaii Island, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai, and other locations can ask whether an RV may qualify for evaluation. The directory does not establish that EasyRVBuyer has an office, local employees, pickup equipment, or confirmed purchasing arrangements on every island.

The first step is to explain what you own, where it is located, and whether it can be safely driven or towed. Those details matter because a transaction involving another island or the mainland may require ocean transportation.

Condition, ownership documents, location, and the arrangements available for a particular RV can all affect the company's decision.

You can also visit the EasyRVBuyer Locations directory to learn about the broader private-owner program.

RV Categories

What Types of RVs Can Be Considered?

The published private-owner program identifies motorhomes, travel trailers, and fifth wheels. Each category has different mechanical, ownership, and transportation considerations.

Motorized RV

Motorhomes

Motorhomes combine living accommodations with a motorized vehicle. The engine, transmission, brakes, steering, tires, and other driving components can affect both the evaluation and the practicality of moving the RV.

Provide the current mileage, any maintenance records available, whether the motorhome starts and drives, and its known mechanical problems.

If it has been stored for an extended period, explain when it was last operated. An engine that starts does not necessarily mean the motorhome is safe to drive or suitable for a transportation provider.

Also describe the living area's condition, including roof leaks, damaged walls or flooring, plumbing problems, and electrical concerns.

Towable RV

Travel Trailers

Travel trailers are towable RVs without their own driving engines. Condition considerations include the roof, walls, flooring, frame, plumbing, appliances, tires, brakes, and hitch equipment.

Mention visible water intrusion, corrosion, structural problems, or equipment that no longer works.

If the trailer is stored on private property, explain whether it rolls, whether its towing components are usable, and whether a suitable towing vehicle can access it.

Hawaii's ownership paperwork is also important. A trailer registered in Hawaii generally uses a certificate of trailer registration rather than a separate Hawaii certificate of ownership.

Fifth-Wheel RV

Fifth Wheels

Fifth wheels generally require a suitably equipped truck for towing. Owners should describe the landing gear, pin box, frame, tires, brakes, slide-outs, and interior systems.

Photographs of the front overhang, exterior walls, visible damage, and towing components can help explain the RV's condition.

For a larger fifth wheel, approximate length, width, and height may become important if transportation needs to be evaluated.

A unit that cannot be safely towed may require a different arrangement or may not qualify for a purchase.

If you own another type of camper, contact EasyRVBuyer to ask about eligibility. The published program does not establish automatic acceptance of every recreational vehicle category.

Current RV Condition

Selling an Older, Damaged, or Non-Running RV in Hawaii

An RV does not have to be in excellent condition before you ask about an evaluation.

EasyRVBuyer considers inquiries involving older units, cosmetic wear, mechanical problems, water intrusion, structural damage, and non-running RVs.

The extent of the problem matters. A motorhome with a disabled drivetrain presents different challenges from a travel trailer with damaged roofing or flooring. A fifth wheel with compromised running gear may require special attention before it can be moved.

Condition Issues Worth Disclosing

Useful conditions to disclose include:

  • Known roof, window, or plumbing leaks.
  • Soft flooring, damaged walls, or structural concerns.
  • Visible corrosion on the frame, hitch, or exposed components.
  • Engine, transmission, steering, brake, or generator problems.
  • Damaged tires, axles, suspension, or towing equipment.
  • Missing parts or appliances that no longer operate.
  • Documented flood damage, insurance-loss history, or salvage status.
  • Whether the RV starts, drives, rolls, steers, or can be safely towed.

If you do not know the cause of a problem, describe what you have observed rather than guessing. For example, report soft flooring near a slide-out without claiming to know the extent of any concealed structural damage. Current photographs can help distinguish ordinary wear from more substantial concerns. You can request an evaluation before paying for repairs. Damage, ownership problems, or transportation requirements may nevertheless affect whether a purchase is possible. No condition or title status is automatically accepted.

Evaluation Process

How to Request an RV Evaluation

An inquiry starts with the basic details. Additional review, a possible offer, and final arrangements depend on the RV and its island.

Step 1: Share Your RV Information

Begin through the EasyRVBuyer contact page.

Explain that you are selling a personally owned RV and provide its year, make, model, category, and current condition.

Include the island and general location where it is stored.

Mention important issues such as an outstanding loan, missing documents, mechanical problems, water damage, or unusual transportation requirements.

Photographs are useful when requested. If the contact form does not offer a suitable upload option, ask how the company would like to receive them.

Step 2: Have the Information Reviewed

The company can review the available details to determine whether the RV may qualify for a purchase evaluation.

Additional photographs, ownership information, condition details, or an inspection may be necessary.

For Hawaii, the review may also depend on whether the RV can be accessed and whether an appropriate purchase or transportation arrangement is available for its island.

An initial inquiry is not a binding offer or a commitment to purchase.

Step 3: Discuss a Possible Offer and Sale Terms

If the RV is a potential fit, the next discussion may involve its condition, documentation, transportation requirements, and whether an offer can be made.

Review any proposed amount and conditions carefully. Confirm whether further inspection is required and whether the proposal depends on information that has not yet been verified.

If a lender has an interest in the RV, establish how that interest must be handled before completing the transaction.

Step 4: Confirm Payment, Documents, and Transportation

If both parties decide to proceed, confirm the sale terms before transferring ownership or releasing the RV.

The agreement should address payment arrangements, required documents, responsibility for transportation, and any applicable charges.

If the proposed purchase involves another island or the mainland, confirm whether ocean shipping is necessary and who would arrange and pay for it.

Do not assume that shipping, towing, or pickup is included. Payment timing, inspection requirements, and transportation availability depend on the actual transaction.

Seller Preparation

What Information Should You Prepare?

Providing accurate information can make the first evaluation more useful, particularly when the RV's location may affect transportation.

Information About Your RV

Have these details ready when available:

  • RV identification: Year, manufacturer, model, and RV category.
  • Island and location: Island, city or town, and whether the RV is stored at a residence, campground, repair shop, or storage facility.
  • Dimensions: Approximate length, height, and width, particularly for larger RVs.
  • Mileage: Current odometer reading for a motorhome, when available.
  • Condition: Known mechanical defects, corrosion, water intrusion, structural damage, and equipment problems.
  • Mobility: Whether a motorhome starts and drives, or a trailer rolls and has usable towing equipment.
  • Ownership records: Whether the relevant motorhome ownership certificate or trailer registration certificate is available.
  • Financing: Whether the RV has an outstanding loan or another known ownership interest.
  • Access: Gates, narrow roads, steep driveways, limited turning space, soft ground, or other restrictions.

Which RV Photographs Are Most Helpful?

Start with recent photographs of the front, rear, and both sides of the RV. Show the main living area, kitchen, bathroom, and any significant equipment.

If there is damage, take clear close-ups of the affected areas. Roof seams, stained or soft flooring, corrosion, and broken components are worth documenting.

For a motorhome, a photograph of the dashboard and current mileage may be useful. For a trailer or fifth wheel, images of the hitch, tires, and visible running gear can help explain towing readiness.

A photograph cannot establish that a vehicle is safe to operate or suitable for ocean freight. Explain any mechanical or mobility concerns in writing.

Protect your personal information. Do not send Social Security numbers, bank details, or sensitive identity records through a general contact form. Ask how any documents required later should be transmitted securely.
Understanding RV Value

What Can Affect an RV Offer in Hawaii?

An RV's potential resale value depends on more than its manufacturer, model, and age.

Mileage, maintenance history, mechanical condition, roof integrity, structural problems, working appliances, and market demand can influence what a prospective buyer may offer.

Ownership records and outstanding financing may affect the steps needed to complete the transaction.

Hawaii adds another consideration: the island where the RV is located and the practicality of moving it.

What a Potential Buyer May Consider

  • Year, make, model, and RV category.
  • Mileage and maintenance history where applicable.
  • Mechanical and structural condition.
  • Roof integrity and known water intrusion.
  • Working appliances and interior equipment.
  • Repair requirements and visible damage.
  • Ownership records and outstanding financing.
  • Market demand and transaction terms.
  • Island location, dimensions, and transportation needs.

A purchase involving a buyer on the same island may present different transportation needs from a transaction requiring shipment to another island or the mainland.

A larger or disabled RV may require specialized equipment or may not meet a particular carrier's acceptance requirements.

These are general transaction considerations, not a published EasyRVBuyer pricing formula.

Selling Directly Versus Listing Privately, Consignment, or Trade-In

Each selling method involves different potential proceeds, responsibilities, and uncertainties.

Direct RV Buyer

A direct RV buyer may appeal to someone who wants to explore a purchase without handling repeated showings and negotiations with numerous prospective buyers. The amount offered may be lower than the price obtainable through a successful private retail sale.

Private Listing

A private listing gives the owner greater control over the asking price. It also requires advertising, answering buyer questions, arranging inspections, verifying payment, and handling ownership paperwork.

In Hawaii, a buyer on the same island may be worth considering because an on-island transaction might avoid ocean freight.

Consignment

Consignment may allow another business to handle marketing and certain sales activities. Review the agreement for commissions, storage charges, insurance responsibilities, and what happens if the RV does not sell.

Dealer Trade-In

A dealer trade-in may be convenient when purchasing a replacement RV. Compare the allowance with the replacement vehicle's price and the complete transaction terms.

A clean, operational RV may justify the work involved in listing it privately. An older or damaged unit with continuing storage or maintenance expenses may prompt an owner to compare a direct offer with repair costs or continued ownership.

There is no single best selling method for every Hawaii RV owner. Compare likely proceeds, effort, transportation responsibilities, and uncertainty before deciding.

Hawaii Ownership and Paperwork

Hawaii RV Titles, Trailer Registration, and Ownership Documents

Hawaii makes an important distinction between motorhomes and towable recreational vehicles.

A motorhome generally follows the state's motor-vehicle ownership system. A travel trailer or fifth wheel registered in Hawaii generally follows the trailer-registration system instead.

Understanding the distinction can help prevent missing-document problems and incorrect assumptions about what you need to provide.

Important Hawaii Distinction

Vehicle Registration Is Handled by Hawaii's Counties

Hawaii does not have one statewide Department of Motor Vehicles. Registration and related ownership services are administered by county governments.

The relevant authorities are the City and County of Honolulu for Oahu, Maui County for Maui, Molokai, and Lanai, Hawaii County for Hawaii Island, and Kauai County for Kauai.

The responsible county and the RV's existing record determine which instructions and forms to follow.

The Hawaii Department of Transportation's motor vehicle registration page provides links to county offices.

Motorhomes Use Certificates of Ownership

Hawaii Revised Statutes §286-47 establishes the certificate-of-ownership and registration framework for motor vehicles.

For an ordinary motorhome transfer, the parties complete the appropriate endorsements on the ownership certificate. The registration certificate and other required documents may also be needed.

The ownership certificate identifies relevant registered-owner and legal-owner information. If a lender or another legal owner has an interest in the vehicle, additional endorsements or releases may be required.

County instructions may also address seller signatures, applicable mileage disclosures, and safety-inspection records.

For example, Maui County's seller instructions explain the relevant title sections and documents to provide the buyer.

Follow the instructions for the county maintaining the vehicle's record rather than assuming every unusual ownership situation can be completed by an ordinary seller signature.

Hawaii Travel Trailers and Fifth Wheels Use Registration Certificates

This is one of the most important distinctions for Hawaii RV owners.

Under HRS §286-47.2, Hawaii counties issue a certificate of trailer registration rather than a separate Hawaii certificate of ownership.

The trailer registration certificate includes spaces for transferring the registered owner's interest.

The law also states that the county does not record trailer liens or separate legal ownership interests on that certificate.

For an ordinary transfer of a registered trailer, the seller and buyer sign the appropriate sections of the registration certificate. The buyer must then submit the endorsed document through the county registration process.

See HRS §286-52.5.

A Hawaii trailer owner should not automatically be told to obtain a conventional Hawaii vehicle title.

However, a trailer previously titled in another jurisdiction may have additional ownership documents. The absence of a county-recorded lien also does not establish that the trailer has no outstanding loan or other financing interest.

If those circumstances apply, clarify the documentation before agreeing to the sale.

Honolulu Trailer Transfers and Inspection Documents

Honolulu provides separate instructions for transferring trailers already registered in the county.

The Honolulu Trailer Registration guide identifies the properly endorsed last-issued Certificate of Trailer Registration and a Hawaii vehicle inspection certificate among the required documents.

For trailers with a gross vehicle weight exceeding 10,000 pounds, Honolulu specifies a state Department of Transportation inspection certificate.

That weight distinction concerns inspection documentation. It is not a title threshold or a rule saying that larger Hawaii trailers receive a conventional ownership certificate.

If your trailer is registered in another county, use the appropriate county's current instructions instead of assuming the Honolulu checklist applies unchanged.

Selling a Hawaii Motorhome With an Outstanding Loan

If your motorhome is financed, its certificate of ownership may identify a lender or other legal owner with an interest in the vehicle.

Before completing a sale:

  1. Contact the lender and confirm the amount owed.
  2. Establish who holds the ownership certificate.
  3. Ask what lender endorsement, release, or consent will be necessary.
  4. Determine which documents can be made available for the transfer.
  5. Disclose the financing situation to the prospective buyer.

A purchase inquiry can begin while financing remains outstanding, but the lender's interest and the applicable ownership requirements must be addressed before completing the transaction.

EasyRVBuyer's private-owner program does not publish a general guarantee to pay off loans or handle every lender arrangement.

For a financed travel trailer or fifth wheel, do not assume that the lack of a lien on the county trailer registration proves there is no lender interest. Review the actual financing agreement and available records.

Seller Responsibilities

Seller Notices and Buyer Deadlines in Hawaii

Hawaii has different statutory sections for motor-vehicle transfers and registered trailer transfers.

Both establish notice obligations for ordinary non-dealer sellers.

For a motorhome, HRS §286-52 generally requires a person who is not a dealer to notify the county director of finance within 10 days of transferring the vehicle.

For a registered trailer, HRS §286-52.5 generally requires a person who is not a dealer or manufacturer to report the transfer within 10 days.

These provisions are not limited to sales where the buyer is another private individual. The applicable seller category and transaction matter.

The seller's notice is separate from the buyer's responsibility to submit the endorsed ownership or registration documents.

The buyer generally has 30 calendar days to forward those documents to the county. For motor vehicles, the statute also provides a 60-day period when the recorded lienholder has no office in Hawaii.

There is an additional motor-vehicle exception concerning a buyer who does not intend to drive, and does not drive or permit the vehicle to be driven, on public highways. That means the ordinary buyer deadline must not be treated as universal for every disabled motorhome.

The county's issuance of the new ownership or registration documents also matters. The statutes address when the intended transfer is legally effective, so signing and handing over paperwork should not be mistaken for completion of every transfer requirement.

As the seller, keep a written transaction record and proof of the notice you filed.

Hawaii's Judiciary guidance on vehicle transfers explains an important legal protection associated with proof of filing the required motor-vehicle Notice of Transfer under Act 109. The statute includes a defense concerning later use, operation, or abandonment of the vehicle by another person after the notice is filed.

Registered trailers have their own provisions concerning seller liability and notice.

Do not assume that the buyer's actions alone satisfy your own reporting responsibilities.

Replacing a Missing Motorhome Title or Trailer Registration

The correct replacement document depends on the type of RV and the county maintaining the record.

For a motorhome, request guidance about a duplicate certificate of ownership or title.

For a registered trailer, ask about replacing the certificate of trailer registration rather than requesting a conventional Hawaii trailer ownership certificate.

These are different procedures.

As one example, Kauai County's duplicate-title instructions generally require the legal owners to appear in person with identification or complete a notarized duplicate-title application. A recorded lienholder changes who must complete the application.

That example should not be mistaken for a general rule that every ordinary Hawaii RV sale requires notarization.

A lender, multiple owners, an estate, or another unusual arrangement may affect the documentation required.

A bill of sale does not automatically substitute for the correct ownership or registration document.

Hawaii Odometer Disclosure Rules

Mileage disclosure primarily affects motorhomes, but federal exemptions must be considered.

Under the current federal framework, model-year 2011 and newer non-exempt motor vehicles generally remain subject to odometer disclosure for their first 20 years.

Model-year 2010 and older vehicles fall under the earlier 10-year exemption framework.

49 CFR §580.17 also exempts certain vehicles, including those that are not self-propelled and vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating over 16,000 pounds.

Travel trailers and fifth wheels therefore differ from motorhomes for federal odometer-disclosure purposes. Some larger motorhomes may also qualify for an exemption.

Even when an exemption applies, mileage can still be useful to a prospective buyer.

See NHTSA's explanation of the disclosure changes, and complete the applicable current county documents accurately.

Inherited RVs, Out-of-State Records, Salvage, and License Plates

Not every Hawaii RV transfer follows the ordinary paperwork process.

An inherited motorhome or trailer may require estate documents or evidence showing that the person signing has legal authority to transfer it.

A trailer previously registered outside Hawaii may have a title or ownership document from another jurisdiction.

Honolulu's trailer-registration instructions identify circumstances involving prior registration or title records, bills of lading, weight documentation, and vehicle identification number inspection when registering an out-of-state trailer.

These are situation-specific requirements, not a checklist that automatically applies to every existing Hawaii trailer sale.

A motorhome with a salvage or rebuilt history may also require separate procedures under HRS §286-48 and related provisions.

Known water damage does not automatically mean the vehicle has a salvage certificate. Motor-vehicle salvage procedures should not be presented as universal trailer procedures.

Finally, confirm license plate handling with the county and the RV's actual registration classification. Do not assume every Hawaii RV uses the same plate-retention rule.

If your ownership documents are unusual, resolve the relevant questions before agreeing to a final transfer.

This section provides general information about Hawaii vehicle registration and ownership requirements, not personalized legal advice. Documents and procedures may vary according to the RV's classification, county, ownership history, financing, and transaction. Confirm unusual situations with the responsible county or an appropriate professional.

Hawaii RV Storage and Condition

Hawaii Climate, Storage, and RV Condition

Hawaii's climate varies between islands and even between nearby locations on the same island.

The National Weather Service's Hawaii climate summary explains the influence of trade winds, mountainous terrain, and the differences between wetter windward locations and generally drier leeward locations.

Those conditions can suggest areas worth inspecting. They do not establish that a particular RV has damage.

Moisture and Water Intrusion

If the RV has been stored outdoors in a frequently rainy location, check accessible roof seals, window openings, vents, walls, and floors.

Staining, swollen panels, soft flooring, or recurring leaks are worth documenting.

A roof leak is not necessarily the same as flood damage. If the RV experienced a known flooding event, describe what happened and what has been inspected or repaired.

Do not assume that damage is confined to the areas visible in photographs.

Coastal Exposure and Corrosion

Salt-containing coastal air and spray can contribute to corrosion of susceptible metal components.

Owners may want to inspect accessible frame sections, fasteners, steps, hitch equipment, undercarriage parts, and other exposed metal.

Report corrosion that is actually present, including any known effect on the unit's operation or towing readiness.

A location near the ocean does not automatically mean the RV is badly corroded.

Outdoor Storage and Sun Exposure

Outdoor storage can also be relevant to exterior finishes, sealants, awnings, tires, and interior materials exposed to sunlight.

Mention faded finishes, cracking, brittle components, or damaged seals if you have observed them.

For a motorhome or trailer that has remained stationary for an extended period, describe its last known operating condition and whether its tires, brakes, batteries, and other relevant systems have been checked.

A specific, accurate condition description is more useful than a general statement that the RV has been outside for several years.

Island Location and RV Movement

Why Your Island and RV's Mobility Matter When Selling in Hawaii

Hawaii presents transportation questions that most mainland RV sellers do not face.

The island where your RV is stored can affect inspection access, potential buyer options, transportation requirements, and the practicality of moving the unit.

Hawaii's commercial harbor network supports cargo movement, but it does not establish that every RV can be shipped, that a suitable carrier is available, or that EasyRVBuyer has a shipping agreement.

Selling an RV on the Same Island

A transaction with a buyer on the same island may avoid ocean freight.

Road access and vehicle condition still matter.

A motorhome stored on pavement on Oahu may present different access requirements from a fifth wheel on a narrow rural driveway on Maui or Hawaii Island.

The final road, driveway, parking surface, and available maneuvering room may be more important than the nearest major highway.

Selling to a Buyer on Another Island

An interisland transaction may involve transporting the RV to a suitable shipping facility, arranging cargo transportation, and moving it again at the destination.

Dimensions, condition, and loading capability can affect the available options.

There are also legal documentation requirements that deserve attention.

Hawaii-Specific Shipping Requirements

Interisland Vehicle Shipping and HRS §286-271

Under Hawaii Revised Statutes §286-271, interisland vehicle shipping requires specified proof in applicable circumstances. This can include current registration, identification, and proof of motor-vehicle insurance.

If someone ships a vehicle as an authorized agent of the owner, the statute generally calls for additional documentation, including a notarized authorization letter.

Damaged vehicles transported interisland for repair, disposal, or salvage have separate provisions. The law also contains exemptions and special cases.

Not every vehicle or shipping situation follows identical requirements, and a travel trailer should not automatically be treated as though it has the same insurance or certificate-of-ownership documents as a motorhome.

Before arranging transportation, confirm the legal documentation applicable to your RV and the requirements of the proposed carrier.

These statutory rules are separate from whether EasyRVBuyer is able to purchase or arrange transportation for the vehicle.

Selling to a Mainland Buyer

A transaction involving a mainland buyer may require ocean freight followed by onward transportation.

The RV's size, running condition, and ability to be loaded may affect carrier eligibility and the cost of moving it.

Before accepting an offer that depends on shipping, establish who will arrange transportation, who will bear the charges, what documents are required, and what happens if the carrier does not accept the RV.

EasyRVBuyer has not published a general commitment to provide or pay for ocean freight for private Hawaii sellers.

The Hawaii Department of Transportation Harbors Division provides information about the commercial harbor system and directs cargo-shipping inquiries to shipping companies.

Non-Running RVs and Difficult Access

A disabled motorhome or trailer may present challenges beyond ordinary towing.

Broken suspension, flat or missing tires, damaged brakes, unsuitable hitch equipment, or structural deterioration may affect moving or loading the unit.

A remote storage location, steep approach, narrow access road, or restricted property entry can create additional challenges.

If the RV cannot be moved normally, explain its actual condition and location. Do not attempt to drive or tow a potentially unsafe unit simply to prepare it for a sale.

A vehicle that starts is not necessarily safe to drive. A trailer that rolls is not necessarily ready for road transport or ocean shipping.

What Location Details Should You Provide?

Start with the island and general area, then describe where the RV is parked.

Mention whether it is at a residence, commercial storage facility, repair property, or campground.

Explain any gates, steep approaches, restricted access, soft ground, or limited turning room.

Provide approximate dimensions and mobility information when available.

You do not need to publish your exact home address or sensitive personal records during a preliminary inquiry. More detailed access information can be discussed if necessary.

Common Seller Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Selling an RV in Hawaii

Answers about private-owner eligibility, Hawaii ownership records, financing, and island-specific transaction arrangements.

Does EasyRVBuyer consider RVs from private owners in Hawaii?

Yes. Individuals can submit inquiries about personally owned motorhomes, travel trailers, and fifth wheels located in Hawaii. Whether a particular RV can be purchased depends on its condition, ownership documents, island, and available arrangements.

Does a Hawaii travel trailer or fifth wheel have a certificate of ownership?

Hawaii generally issues a certificate of trailer registration rather than a separate Hawaii certificate of ownership. The registration includes transfer endorsements. A trailer previously titled elsewhere may have additional records that need attention.

Which county handles my RV's records?

The responsible county is determined by the RV's registration. Honolulu serves Oahu, Maui County serves Maui, Molokai, and Lanai, Hawaii County serves Hawaii Island, and Kauai County serves Kauai. Contact the office maintaining the record for the applicable forms.

Do I have to report an RV sale within 10 days?

Hawaii generally requires a non-dealer motor-vehicle seller, and a non-dealer or non-manufacturer trailer seller, to notify the appropriate county within 10 days under the relevant transfer statute. The buyer's submission requirements are separate. Retain evidence of your notice filing.

Can I ask about selling a motorhome that still has a loan?

Yes. You can begin an inquiry and explain that financing remains outstanding. The lender's interest, applicable endorsements or releases, and ownership documents must be addressed before completing a valid transfer. Automatic lender payoff is not guaranteed.

What if the RV is damaged and cannot be driven or towed?

You can submit an inquiry about the RV in its present condition. Explain why it cannot be moved normally. The company's ability to evaluate or purchase it depends on the circumstances. A possible shipping carrier may have additional documentation and loading restrictions.

Will EasyRVBuyer arrange and pay for interisland or mainland shipping?

No general shipping or free-transportation commitment has been verified for the private-owner program. If an evaluation leads to a possible purchase requiring freight, the available arrangements, responsibilities, and costs must be confirmed for that particular transaction.

Can I request an evaluation from Maui, Kauai, Hawaii Island, Molokai, or Lanai?

Yes, you can submit an inquiry identifying the island and the RV's general location. Being listed in the statewide inquiry program does not guarantee purchase, inspection, pickup, or transportation availability at that location.

Your Next Step

Request an Evaluation for Your Hawaii RV

If you own a motorhome, travel trailer, or fifth wheel in Hawaii, you can begin by sharing the basic details of the RV you want to sell.

Include the island, general location, year, make, model, current condition, and whether the unit can be driven or towed. Mention outstanding financing, missing documents, known damage, or difficult access.

EasyRVBuyer can review your inquiry and discuss whether an evaluation or potential purchase may be possible for your location and circumstances.
