RV Removal in Hollywood, FL

Leaving a derelict travel trailer or motorhome sitting on your property for another season costs more than just space. Local code enforcement fines compound quickly, and exposure to intense humidity accelerates structural decay, making future handling far more difficult.

Our team clears end-of-life recreational vehicles directly from your yard, driveway, or side lot. We manage the entire rig, hauling away the complete coach so you do not have to handle tearing it apart yourself.

Whether you have an abandoned pop-up camper or a Class A motorhome with a seized engine, AMI Junk Hauling dispatches heavy equipment and experienced crews to clear your ground promptly.

End-of-Life Rigs We Clear from Hollywood Properties

Coastal air and intense tropical humidity take a severe toll on recreational vehicles. Continuous salt air corrodes steel chassis components, leaf springs, and brake lines. High humidity promotes rapid mold growth inside wall cavities, while relentless solar heat dries out rubber roof membranes. Once seams split during summer downpours, rainwater saturates inner luan panels and block foam insulation, causing floorboards to rot out from underneath.

We handle camper disposal and motorhome disposal for vehicles in any state of structural failure. Our crews routinely haul away units suffering from severe roof sag, rotted flooring, delaminated fiberglass sidewalls, and extensive water intrusion. We also clear rigs affected by rodent infestation, fire damage, or long-term neglect.

Mechanical condition does not prevent hauling. We take non-running units, coaches with seized engines, rigs with flat or dry-rotted tires, and trailers with rusted, frozen axles. If the coupler is broken or missing entirely, we adapt our loading methods to secure the vehicle safely.

We haul all classifications of recreational vehicles, including:

• Class A, B, and C motorhomes
• Fifth-wheel trailers and travel trailers
• Pop-up tent campers and truck campers
• Utility trailers converted into living spaces
• Derelict mobile units used for temporary storage

Regardless of how long the unit has sat sinking into sand or gravel, we extract it safely without leaving debris behind.

Navigating Tight Clearances and Frozen Wheels

The main challenge during junk RV removal is rarely the vehicle length; overhead clearance and stuck running gear cause most delays. Rooftop air conditioners, TV antennas, and vent caps add significant height. Low-hanging tree branches, residential eaves, overhead power drops, and narrow gate headers frequently block standard tow routes.

When a rig has sat stationary on soft soil or sand for years, tires rot and steel rims sink deep into the ground. Brakes freeze solid to the drums, preventing wheels from rolling. Standard tow trucks cannot pull a sunken, seized trailer without ripping the coupler from the frame or pulling the wooden cabin structure off its chassis.

Our crews overcome these obstacles by bringing transport skates, heavy winches, and temporary rolling tires. We secure pull lines directly to the main steel chassis beams rather than weak body mounts or outer bumpers. If overhead branches or narrow driveway walls restrict access, we use compact machinery to maneuver the unit out into the open street before winching it onto our heavy transport trailer.

Factors That Influence Your Removal Quote

Access difficulty sets the foundation for your quote. Rigs parked on clear asphalt driveway pads require less extraction time than units buried in deep sand, wedged behind residential fences, or blocked by low tree canopies. The distance between the vehicle and a clear roadway directly affects how much winch line and rigging hardware we must deploy.

The physical size and mechanical condition of the coach also shape the total cost. A heavy Class A motorhome demands larger recovery equipment than a lightweight single-axle travel trailer. If the tires still hold air and axles turn freely, loading proceeds quickly. Units with seized wheels, missing axles, or compromised frames require extra labor, skates, and loading time.

We do not publish flat rate pricing online because every extraction presents unique physical variables. On-site fluid handling, propane tank removal, and waste tank status also factor into the overall workload. We evaluate your specific vehicle details and provide a firm, binding quote before dispatching our extraction crew.

How to Schedule RV Salvage and Hauling

Clearing a derelict vehicle off your land follows a straightforward, five-step process:

1. Initial contact. Reach out to our team with details about the vehicle, including its location, approximate length, type, and general physical condition.

2. Access assessment. Tell us where the unit rests on your property. Note any narrow gates, overhead tree limbs, low wires, or soft ground conditions that could hamper extraction trucks.

3. Quote confirmation. We evaluate your details and issue a clear, written estimate detailing the complete scope of recovery and hauling work required.

4. Site prep and clearance. Prior to our arrival, remove all personal items from inside the coach. Ensure the pathway from the unit to the main street is clear of parked cars or lawn equipment.

5. Extraction and haul-away. Our crew arrives with heavy winches and transport gear, frees the vehicle, loads it securely onto our transport trailer, and hauls it off your site.

Titling and Abandoned Vehicle Procedures

Recreational vehicles carry official state titles, and ownership records remain tied to the registered holder until legally transferred or surrendered. Clearing a rig off your property requires proper authorization so that disposal proceeds without legal complications.

If you hold a clean title in your name, hand it over to our crew upon arrival to streamline processing. When a title is lost, damaged, or missing, you can request a duplicate through the state motor vehicle office before scheduling extraction.

Landlords, storage facility managers, and private property owners often deal with abandoned units left behind by former tenants. In these situations, state law outlines specific notice requirements, public auctions, and lien search protocols before an unit can be declared legally abandoned for final disposal.

For questions regarding unclaimed proceeds from abandoned property sales, consult the county treasury / county treasurer (receives the unclaimed balance of the sale proceeds); the statute names no agency to administer the removal itself. Our dispatch team guides you through the necessary steps to ensure all ownership records match state requirements prior to vehicle pick-up.

Self-Hauling vs. Extraction Services

If your travel trailer still rolls smoothly, holds functional tires, and is hitched to your own capable truck, towing it directly to a commercial scrap yard yourself can save money. Owners with valid titles, functional trailer brake lights, and suitable towing setups often handle light transport independently.

Self-hauling quickly fails when handling derelict or non-running units. Standard municipal waste sites refuse complete recreational vehicles because the mixed materials cannot be processed through household trash lines. You must manually strip internal components, separate metals, drain remaining holding tanks, and transport specific fractions to distinct facilities.

Towing a rotted unit on public roads poses serious hazards. Dry-rotted tires frequently blowout under stress, rusted leaf springs can snap, and seized brakes risk catching fire. If the inner structural wood has rotted from humidity, highway wind pressure can strip outer siding panels right off the frame. Hiring AMI Junk Hauling eliminates these safety risks and equipment demands, getting the unit cleared in one trip.

Material Recovery and Waste Breakdown

An end-of-life coach consists of diverse material streams that require proper separation rather than simple landfill dumping. We haul the unit to specialized facilities where recovery crews tear down the vehicle into distinct recyclable fractions.

The heavy steel chassis, wheel axles, and frame members head directly to ferrous metal recycling. Exterior aluminum siding, internal framing studs, and copper wiring are separated into non-ferrous recovery channels. Major appliances like onboard stoves, metal sinks, and air conditioner units are removed for metal salvage.

Hazardous components undergo strict pre-treatment. Lead-acid vehicle batteries are sent to dedicated battery recyclers, while onboard propane tanks are routed to licensed handlers who purge residual gas and safely render the steel cylinders scrap-ready. Liquid waste inside black and gray water holding tanks is managed before final crushing.

Remaining non-recyclable items—including water-damaged luan wall panels, block foam insulation, EPDM roof membranes, and rotted carpet—are routed to licensed regional landfills. This multi-stage process maximizes metal recovery while ensuring non-salvageable materials are disposed of responsibly.

Clearing a Sunken Trailer from a Residential Yard

A property owner faced an urgent code enforcement deadline regarding a twenty-eight-foot travel trailer parked behind a side gate. The trailer had remained stationary on unpaved ground for over seven years. Tropical rainstorms had softened the earth, allowing the heavy dual axles to sink six inches into the soil. Humidity had rotted the subfloor, and all four tires were flat and dry-rotted.

The position was tight: the trailer sat squeezed between a concrete wall and the home's air conditioning condenser, leaving less than eight inches of lateral clearance. Overhead tree branches restricted vertical space, ruling out standard overhead crane lifts.

Our extraction crew arrived with heavy-duty steel skates, low-profile hydraulic jacks, and a winch-equipped transport rig. We jacked up the sunk axles, slid slick transport skates under the flat tires, and attached pull chains directly to the main steel frame. Using steady winch pressure, we guided the trailer out along the narrow side lot without damaging the house or AC unit. Once out on the asphalt, we loaded the trailer onto our tilt-bed transport vehicle and cleared the property completely in under three hours.
