RV & Motorhome Demolition Portland | Camper Removal
Eco-conscious RV demolition in Portland Metro — recycling up to 70% of materials with safe, professional hand demolition
When an old RV, motorhome, trailer, or camper has reached the end of its life, disposal isn’t easy. These vehicles contain a complex mix of metal, wood, insulation, plastics, and appliances that can’t simply be hauled to the dump in one piece.
Junk Hubris offers environmentally responsible RV demolition and removal throughout Portland Metro. We focus on recycling—dismantling by hand to recover up to 70% of materials—rather than quick teardown jobs that send everything to the landfill.
The eco-friendly way to dispose of your old motorhome.
RVs & Motorhomes We Demolish
We handle all types of recreational vehicles, from small campers to large Class A motorhomes:
Class A Motorhomes
Large bus-style motorhomes, diesel pushers, and luxury coaches of all sizes
Class B & C Motorhomes
Camper vans, conversion vans, and cab-over motorhomes
Travel Trailers
Bumper-pull trailers, fifth wheels, toy haulers, and slide-out models
Campers & Pop-Ups
Truck campers, pop-up campers, teardrop trailers, and small camping trailers
Our Eco-Conscious Demolition Approach
Unlike quick teardown jobs that focus on speed, our process is designed to recycle as much as possible—often upwards of 70% of materials.
Because recycling matters, most of the work is done by hand, allowing us to carefully sort and separate materials instead of just smashing and hauling everything away.
- Metal recycling: Steel, aluminum, copper separated for scrap
- Wood & lumber: Clean wood diverted for reuse
- Appliances: Fridges, ACs, water heaters properly recycled
- Hazardous materials: Propane, batteries safely disposed
What to Expect from RV Demolition
RV demolition is not a quick one-day project. Because we prioritize recycling and safe disposal, the process is more extensive than standard junk removal:
⏱️ Time Investment
2 to 4 days of careful hand demolition and dismantling, depending on size and condition of the unit.
👷 Skilled Labor
Experienced crew for proper material separation, safe handling, and efficient recycling processes.
🚛 Multiple Trips
Several trips to recycling facilities and disposal sites for different material types and classifications.
We Handle Difficult Situations
Many RVs that need demolition are in challenging locations or conditions. We’ve removed motorhomes from:
- Overgrown properties – Buried in blackberries and brush
- Tight backyards – Limited access, no road access
- Wooded areas – Forest locations with difficult terrain
- Properties with no vehicle access – We dismantle on-site
- Severe damage – Fire damage, water damage, structural failure
- Abandoned units – Long-neglected motorhomes
Difficult access may affect pricing and timeline—we’ll assess during our site visit and provide honest quotes.
RV Demolition Pricing
Because RV demolition is mostly hand-done with a recycling-focused approach, this service requires more time and labor than standard junk removal.
Typical range: $125 – $200 per linear foot
Pricing factors include:
- RV size and length (linear footage)
- Type of unit (motorhome, travel trailer, fifth wheel, camper)
- Condition and accessibility of the site
- Location and distance from our base
- Materials composition and complexity
- Asbestos testing and potential abatement (see below)
This is the safest, most environmentally responsible way to dispose of a motorhome.
⚠️ Critical Asbestos Information
Testing Required for Pre-2004 Units
Oregon law requires asbestos testing for all RVs and motorhomes manufactured before 2004. Older units may contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in flooring, insulation, wall panels, ceiling tiles, and adhesives.
Our Asbestos Policy
- Junk Hubris is not licensed for asbestos abatement and cannot remove or disturb asbestos-containing materials
- Testing must be completed by a certified asbestos inspector before we can begin demolition
- If asbestos is detected, certified abatement contractors must remove ACMs before demolition
- We can provide referrals to licensed testing and abatement professionals
⚠️ Cost Impact
If asbestos is found, abatement costs can increase total project costs significantly—potentially adding several thousand dollars depending on the extent of ACMs present. Testing and abatement are separate from demolition costs.

RV Demolition FAQs
How much does RV demolition cost in Portland?
RV demolition pricing starts at $2,500 with a typical range of $125-$200 per linear foot. A 30-foot motorhome might cost $3,750-$6,000. Final cost depends on size, condition, location, accessibility, and whether asbestos testing/abatement is required. Contact us for a detailed site visit and estimate.
How long does RV demolition take?
Most projects take 2-4 days depending on the size, condition, and complexity of the unit. Larger motorhomes or units with difficult access may take longer. We prioritize recycling over speed, which requires more careful hand demolition.
Can you recycle most of the motorhome?
Yes! We typically recycle upwards of 70% of materials including metals (steel, aluminum, copper), appliances, fixtures, and clean wood. Our hand-demolition approach maximizes recycling potential rather than sending everything to the landfill.
What if my RV was manufactured before 2004?
Oregon law requires asbestos testing for all RVs made before 2004. If asbestos is found, certified abatement is required before demolition can begin, which adds to project costs. We can provide referrals to licensed testing and abatement professionals.
Do I need the title for my RV?
Yes, we typically require proof of ownership before demolition. If you don’t have the title, contact us—we may be able to work with you depending on your situation. Registration or other documentation may be acceptable.
What types of RVs do you demolish?
We demolish and remove all types: Class A, B, and C motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, pop-up campers, toy haulers, and truck campers. Size and type affect pricing and timeline.
Can you remove an RV from a difficult location?
Yes! We handle challenging access situations including backyard locations, narrow driveways, wooded areas, overgrown properties, and sites with no vehicle access. We dismantle on-site and haul materials out. Difficult access may affect pricing.
Why is RV demolition more expensive than regular junk removal?
RV demolition requires 2-4 days of skilled labor, hand dismantling for proper material separation, multiple trips to various recycling and disposal facilities, proper handling of refrigerants and hazardous materials, and potential asbestos compliance. It’s a specialized service that prioritizes responsible disposal.
