RV Removal & Disposal in Evans, CO



That old travel trailer or motorhome sitting in your yard or on your gravel pad has reached the end of its line. Whether the floor has rotted through, the engine will no longer turn over, or the roof has given up, keeping an unserviceable rig on your property wastes space and invites trouble. AMI Junk Hauling provides complete rv removal across Evans, taking away non-running units, derelict fifth wheels, and rotted campers that can no longer be towed safely by a standard hitch.
We handle the heavy winching, the teardown work, and the transport off your land. You do not need to fix flat tires, bleed rusted brakes, or pack wheel bearings before we arrive. Our crew comes equipped to load and extract coaches in any state of decay, clearing your driveway or side lot while taking care of the entire haul from start to finish.

End-of-Life Rigs We Clear from Evans Properties
The climate along the South Platte basin inflicts severe structural stress on recreational vehicles over time. Rig destruction follows a predictable timeline in eastern Colorado:
- First season: Intense high-altitude sunlight bakes the rubber roof membranes and shrinks the factory sealants around vents, seams, and air conditioning units. Microscopic gaps open up, allowing rain and snow melt to seep silently into the roof structure.
- Third year: Freeze-thaw cycles expand the trapped moisture inside the walls. Repeated freezing levers the fiberglass gel coat away from the luan backing, causing visible delamination, soft spots in the interior subfloor, and rust along the steel frame components.
- Tenth year: Heavy winter snow loads press down on the weakened trusses, causing the roof line to sway inward. Unattended plumbing lines burst, mold spreads through the damp insulation, and rodents tear out wiring runs, rendering the coach completely uninhabitable and unsafe to tow.
We accept vehicles in all stages of failure. Our team hauls away Class A, B, and C motorhomes, fifth-wheel trailers, pop-up campers, overhead truck campers, and converted bus rigs. It does not matter if the tires are rotted to the rims, the axles are seized solid, or the interior has suffered extreme water damage. We also take coaches that have been gutted for scrap, units damaged by winter storms, and old storage trailers left behind by previous tenants. If the unit sits on your property, we have the specialized equipment required to load and remove it safely.
Physical Extraction and Loading from Your Yard
Removing a derelict RV requires planning around total physical dimensions, not just bumper-to-bumper length. While an owner might measure a travel trailer as twenty-four feet long, the total height including roof-top air conditioners and plumbing vents often exceeds eleven feet. Tree branches, low utility drops, and narrow gate headers are the primary obstacles that block direct vehicle access. Our crew evaluates these height and width restrictions before setting up the recovery equipment.
When a rig has sat on dirt or gravel for years, the tires sink into the soil and the steel leaf springs can seize or snap. We bring transport tires, heavy-duty skates, and high-capacity winches to move units that will no longer roll on their own wheels. If the frame has rusted through or the floor has disintegrated, pulling directly on the front coupler can yank the tongue right off the chassis. In those severe cases, we rig support straps directly around the main steel frame rails to distribute the pull force evenly.
Before any winching begins, we secure all loose exterior panels and clear out hazardous items. Propane cylinders are disconnected, house batteries are removed, and holding tanks are inspected. This upfront preparation prevents structural collapse during loading and ensures the rig stays intact while moving down the road.
Factors That Influence Your Quote
Every rig removal job requires a custom quote based on physical conditions rather than fixed set rates. Because every unit presents unique extraction challenges, we evaluate the job using several concrete factors before setting a final price:
- The season and ground conditions: Extracting a heavy unit during wet winter months or after heavy spring moisture requires traction mats, winching gear, and extra labor to prevent deep ruts in soft soil. Dry summer extractions on solid concrete or packed gravel pads move faster and require less setup time.
- Overall size and weight class: A small single-axle pop-up camper requires far less haulage capacity than a thirty-six-foot Class A diesel pusher with heavy engine components and dual rear axles.
- Mechanical state and rolling capability: A unit with functional tires and an intact tongue can be loaded rapidly. Rigs with missing axles, flat tires, or seized drum brakes demand specialized skates and heavy winching gear.
- Clearance and property access: Tight alleyways, overhanging tree canopy, soft side yards, and steep driveways increase the complexity of the extraction process.
Scrap values from the chassis frame, copper wiring, and aluminum siding offset some of the transport costs, helping us keep final quotes fair and straightforward.
How to Schedule Your Camper Disposal
Clearing a derelict camper off your land is simple when you follow these four steps:
1. Collect unit details. Walk around the rig and take note of its overall length, tire condition, and general structural state. Look for any flat tires, rotted subfloors, or missing wheels. Snap a few pictures of the coach and the path leading out to the street.
2. Contact our office. Submit your photos and location details through our online request form or call our team directly. Tell us if the unit is parked on concrete, dirt, or gravel, and mention any overhead low-hanging branches or tight gates.
3. Review your upfront estimate. We review the dimensions, access conditions, and equipment requirements to calculate an all-inclusive price. You receive a clear quote covering all winching, labor, transport, and recycling fees with no hidden add-ons.
4. Clear the pathway. On the scheduled day, remove any parked cars, trash cans, or lawn items blocking access to the rig. Our team arrives with the heavy truck, winch lines, and loading gear to extract the unit and haul it off your property for good.
Titling and Paperwork Requirements in Colorado
In Colorado, recreational vehicles are classified as titled motor vehicles or trailers. Transferring or disposing of an old unit requires clear ownership records to process the chassis through licensed scrap facilities and recycling yards. Handing off a coach without settling the paperwork leaves the registered owner vulnerable to continuous liability, unpaid vehicle taxes, and potential municipal storage fines.
If you hold a clear title in your name, the surrender process is fast and simple. You sign the title over to the transfer agent during pickup, and we take care of the rest. When the original title has been lost, damaged, or misplaced over years of storage, alternative routes are available. You can request a duplicate title through the Colorado General Assembly statutory guidelines governing motor vehicle titling procedures, or provide an approved bill of sale if the vehicle meets state age and salvage thresholds.
For abandoned units left behind by previous property owners, landlords and landholders must follow specific statutory notification periods before disposal can occur. A lien search and formal certified notice give legal clear path to dispose of the derelict unit. Contact our office to review your current documentation, and we will guide you through the correct paperwork steps for your specific situation.
Material Recycling and Salvage Breakdown
A derelict coach is not just landfill bulk; it consists of multiple distinct material streams that must be separated responsibly. Once AMI Junk Hauling hauls the rig off your property, it undergoes complete material sorting to maximize resource recovery:
- Ferrous metals: The main steel box frame, leaf springs, wheel hubs, and tow hitches are stripped and sent directly to steel shredding operations for mill reuse.
- Non-ferrous metals: Aluminum exterior wall panels, roof trim, window frames, and copper electrical wiring are sorted for high-value metal recycling.
- Appliances and internal systems: Onboard refrigerators, propane stoves, air conditioners, and water heaters are removed. Refrigerant gases are recovered by licensed techs, and the metal shells are processed as scrap.
- Hazardous components: Lead-acid chassis batteries, engine oils, coolant fluids, and propane cylinders are isolated and sent to certified hazardous waste processors.
- Residual bulk: Rotted wood framing, luan wallboard, foam block insulation, and EPDM roofing material—which have no domestic recycling stream—are transferred to licensed municipal waste facilities.
Evans Property Extraction Scenario
A property owner in Evans inherited a residential lot featuring a thirty-foot travel trailer parked on an unpaved rear alley pad. The trailer had remained stationary for over twelve years under open sky. Intense seasonal UV exposure had completely destroyed the outer sealant beads, causing winter rain and heavy snow melt to leak into the rear bedroom and center bathroom area.
By the time our team was called, the subfloor near the main axle had rotted out completely, and both tires were dry-rotted and flat. The unit sat in a narrow corridor between a wooden perimeter fence and an overhead power line drop, ruling out standard overhead crane lifts or straight-line towing.
Our two-person recovery crew arrived equipped with low-profile transport tires, heavy steel skates, and a high-capacity winching truck. The team placed hydraulic jacks under the main frame rails to lift the sunken axles out of the dirt, swapped on rolling transport wheels, and winched the trailer slowly out to the paved street. The entire extraction took less than three hours, clearing the alley access completely and leaving the ground ready for the owner's landscaping project.
