WHAT WE BUY
CALL (407) 533-8871
Lakeland sits between Tampa and Orlando, which means most sellers here have already driven both directions chasing an offer. Our lot is closer than either — 30 minutes east on I-4.
Polk County is where a lot of Florida's RVs actually live: bought here, stored here, and eventually sold here. We're a Polk County business ourselves, which means when you come to us the money stays local and you're not driving to a metro to get a fair number.
Our buying lot is in Davenport, about 30 minutes west on I-4. Most sellers drive in, get inspected and leave paid inside an hour.
Most Lakeland sellers have already driven to Tampa and Orlando for offers. Send us the details first and save the gas.
TAKES 2 MINUTESWe're Polk County like you. Drive east on I-4 to Davenport, or we come out to the property — acreage and back lots included.
OFFER ON THE SPOTCash the same day from a Polk business. Nothing gets shipped to a corporate office to be approved.
PAID SAME DAYThirty minutes east on I-4 puts you at our lot, and we're a Polk County business — not a metro operation quoting you from two counties away. For anything parked on acreage around Mulberry or Bartow, we'll come out rather than have you drag it anywhere.
Wedged in beside a boat under a metal carport in Polk County. Tight extraction, no damage, cash on the spot. It wasn't cleaned up for the picture.
Twenty minutes from our lot, and the money never left the county.

SOLDPolk County has more RVs per household than either of the metros beside it, and far fewer buyers for them. That imbalance is the whole story of selling an RV in Lakeland. Units here are frequently stored on private land rather than in facilities — behind a shop, along a fence line, out on acreage in Mulberry, Bartow or Auburndale — which means they sit longer, deteriorate more quietly, and get discovered by their owners in worse shape than expected two or three years later.
The other thing about Lakeland is the two-city tour. Almost every seller we meet here has already driven to Tampa for one quote and Orlando for another, burned a Saturday and half a tank, and come back with two numbers that were suspiciously similar and both disappointing. We're thirty minutes away on I-4 and we're a Polk County business, which means the trip is shorter and the money stays in the county.
Units parked on acreage need equipment, not just a truck. Soft ground, fence gaps, low limbs and a decade of settling all matter. Send a photo of the approach along with the unit and we'll tell you whether it's a straightforward pull or a project — either way it's ours to solve.
Three years parked in Polk County produces a predictable list: flat-spotted tires, a dead chassis battery, wasps in the awning, a compromised roof seam and often rodents. None of it is disqualifying. All of it is priced honestly rather than used as a bargaining tactic when we arrive.
A meaningful share of what we buy in Polk County comes from families settling an estate. Bring the letters of administration and a photo ID. We keep it simple and we don't need the whole family in the same room to close it.
Thirty minutes east on I-4 gets you to our lot. For anything that shouldn't or can't make the trip, we come to the property instead. Either way you're not spending a Saturday collecting quotes.
Send us what you have and we'll give you a number the same day, which you can compare against whatever Tampa and Orlando already told you. If you'd rather we come out, tell us where on the property it's parked and how a truck would reach it. On the day we verify the title and ID, pay you, and pull the unit out — including from tight spots that took some planning to get into. The transfer paperwork is filed by us.
Polk County collections are rarely about distance and almost always about the last hundred feet. Ground that has been dry for a month can still be soft under a unit that has been sitting on it for three years, and the ruts left by the original delivery are usually still there. Gates built for a tractor are not always wide enough for a tow rig. Oak limbs that cleared the roof in 2019 do not clear it now. We would rather see two photographs before the day than improvise on it, so send one of the unit and one looking from the road toward it. That pair of images answers most of what we need to plan the pull.
We live and operate in the same county you do. There is no regional office deciding your number from another state, and no franchise fee baked into what we can afford to pay you for your unit.
GET MY OFFER →Yes — we're in Davenport, about 30 minutes east on I-4, and we're a Polk County business. That's closer than driving to Tampa or Orlando for an offer.
We do. Blown engines, transmission trouble, units that haven't started in years. We arrange the pickup — you don't need to get it running to sell it.
For anything that can't safely make the drive, yes. Send photos and the location and we'll price it before anyone moves anything.
Almost always. Send a photo of the unit and one of the approach. Soft ground and tight gates are normal problems here and we bring the right equipment rather than improvising on the day.
For most sellers, yes — same or better number, no Saturday spent, no fuel burned. And if we're wrong for your unit we'll tell you rather than waste your time.
Letters of administration and a photo ID. We've handled many of these in Polk County and we keep the process short for the family.
Yes. That combination is the single most common condition we see on long-parked Polk County units. It affects the number, never the answer.
Yes, and from Winter Haven, Haines City and Plant City. Anywhere in Polk County is a short run for us and none of it changes the offer. What matters is whether a truck can physically reach the unit, not which town it's in.
Usually. Commercial and industrial parcels are often easier than residential acreage because the approach is already paved. Send a photo looking from the road toward the unit and we'll tell you honestly whether it's straightforward.
No, though it does change the number. Branded titles are common on Florida units that have been through storms or insurance settlements. Say so up front and the offer stays honest instead of dropping on the day.
Sometimes, and it is worth asking. Polk County properties often have a boat, a utility trailer or a piece of equipment sitting next to the RV, and bundling them occasionally makes the whole collection worth more to us than the RV alone. Mention what else is out there when you send the photos.
