Your RV sold for more than you owed? That difference is yours.
RVs are high-value assets that get sold over small storage debts and mid-loan repos — exactly the recipe for surpluses. The law routes that excess back to you; we make sure it actually arrives.
How RV surpluses happen
Storage facilities can lien-sell an RV over a few months of unpaid fees. The facility keeps its debt and costs — the rest is the owner’s. With RV values up sharply over recent years, sales routinely clear far more than the debt that triggered them.
Financed RVs repossessed by lenders follow UCC Article 9: the lender must account for the sale and pay you any surplus.

Storage lien sales
Self-storage and RV-yard statutes require the excess above the lien to be returned or deposited for the owner. It rarely is — until someone asks in writing.
Lender repos
Same UCC rail as cars and boats: surplus owed, accounting on demand, statutory damages for stonewalling.
Full-timer situations
If the RV was your residence, extra notice protections may apply in some states — and the surplus math works exactly the same.
RVs & campers recovery — questions answered
The storage yard auctioned my camper without telling me. Legal?
Only if they followed the statute’s notice requirements. Defective notice can create claims beyond the surplus. Either way, the excess above their lien was never theirs to keep.
