Camper Removal in California: where we work and what we see

We serve 468 cities and towns in California, from Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose to the small towns in between, across Southern California, the Bay Area, the Central Valley, the Inland Empire, the Central Coast and the Sierra foothills.

RVs and campers in California sit in driveways, storage lots, and acreage across Southern California, the Bay Area and the Central Valley. Titles go through California DMV, and we walk you through the release when there is no title.

Fire season cleanouts, marina crackdowns on derelict boats in the Delta, and year-round backyard pool and RV removals keep the calendar full every month.

What we handle

Camper Removal in California: what we take

Camper removal in California covers more than most people expect. If it is on this list, we have done it, and if it is not, ask anyway.

  2. 02

    Teardrops, tiny trailers, and small vintage campers.

  3. 03

    No truck needed. We bring the trailer and the lift.

  4. 04

How it works

How camper removal works in California

From "can you take this?" to "it's gone" is usually one visit. This is the order it happens in.

  1. 01

    Photos first

    A few pictures and we schedule the on-site estimate, usually the same day you send them.

  2. 02

    Lift or hitch

    Truck campers are lifted with the jacks or a winch. Trailers are hitched or loaded.

  3. 03

    Transport

    Strapped and secured for the road, with lights and plates handled on our end.

  4. 04

    Recycle

    Aluminum, steel, and appliances recovered; the rest disposed of properly.

Why now

Why California stops putting it off

Nobody schedules camper removal for fun. These are the reasons California homeowners finally pick up the phone.

  • Campgrounds charge storage or dispose of abandoned units after a notice period.
  • A truck camper on jacks in the driveway blocks the space you paid for.
  • Water intrusion turns a fixable camper into a moldy one in one season.
  • Fire season cleanouts, marina crackdowns on derelict boats in the Delta, and year-round backyard pool and RV removals keep the calendar full every month.

Straight talk

What camper removal does not include

A few things we will tell you up front, because you would rather hear them now than on the day.

  • We remove campers. Occasionally salvage value offsets part of the cost, and we say so when it does.
  • Propane tanks and batteries are removed before transport.

Sound familiar?

Common camper removal situations in California

If one of these sounds like your California situation, you are in the right place. If it does not, we still want to hear about it.

  1. 01

    The truck camper without the truck

    The truck sold years ago. The camper is still on jacks in the driveway, leaning a little more each winter.

  2. 02

    The campground abandonment

    A seasonal site with a unit the owner stopped paying for. The campground needs it gone before opening day.

  3. 03

    The teardrop project

    It was going to be restored. It was not.

  4. 04

    The rotted axle

    Tires flat, axle bent, and no way to move it without a flatbed and a winch.

Afterward

Where camper removal material from California ends up

"Where does it go?" is the right question to ask any removal company. This is our answer for California.

  1. 01

    Propane and batteries first

    Tanks and batteries come off before transport and go to the right facilities.

  2. 02

    Appliances and fixtures

    Refrigerators, generators, water heaters, and furniture are pulled for reuse or recycling.

  3. 03

    Aluminum and steel

    Siding, frames, and chassis are scrapped. This is most of an RV by weight.

  4. 04

    What is left

    Wood, foam, and interior finishes go to a licensed facility. Nothing is dumped.

Questions

Camper Removal in California: your questions

It's a truck camper on jacks. Can you take it without a truck?

Yes. We lift it onto our trailer directly.

Do you buy campers?

No. This is a removal service. Occasionally salvage value offsets part of the cost and we tell you when that applies.

Do you offer same-day camper removal in California?

Same-day camper removal in California depends on that day's schedule. We keep windows open for urgent calls, and next-day is almost always available.

Are you licensed and insured for camper removal in California?

Yes. Lucky Hauling carries general liability and auto coverage for every job in California. Ask the office for a certificate of insurance and we will email it before the crew arrives.

Which areas near California do you cover?

All of the California area, including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose and San Francisco. If you are outside that, we still probably cover you; check the California page for the full city list.

How do I set up camper removal in California?

Send a few photos through the estimate form or by text. We confirm what we can take and set up the free on-site estimate, and nothing is loaded until you say yes.

Do I need to be home for camper removal in California?

Only for the estimate, and even that can happen by phone or text with photos from the crew. Property managers and out-of-town owners do it this way every week.

What should I do before the crew gets to California?

Very little. Decide what stays, point it out or tape it, and clear a path if it is easy. Remove propane and disconnect the battery if you can. The crew does the rest.

Can you get it out of a tight spot in California?

Usually. Extended winch lines, dollies, and plywood for soft ground handle most tight gates and overgrown lots. Send a photo of the path out and we tell you before the day.

What if the weather is bad on the day?

Rain does not stop most jobs. Lightning, ice, and high wind do, especially for boat lifts and tow work. If we have to move your window we tell you as early as we can and reschedule at no charge.

The RV has no title. Is that a problem in California?

Usually not. Untitled and abandoned units in California go through California DMV. We walk you through the release form so the unit can legally leave the property, and we handle the rest.
