My 5th wheel trailer is no longer fit for human habitation and I need to find someone to tow it away. I may try to get someone to give me a couple hundred dollars for the privilege, but there's a good chance I'll be the one who ends up paying somebody to take it. My question is: What must I do to avoid liability in the event the person who I pay (or who pays me) to take the trailer ends up having an accident with it (or with parts of it that they used to build something new)?
In 1998, I towed my trailer (which was registered in Oregon) into California and wound up keeping it parked in a Los Angeles area mobile home park since then. Since I never took it back on the road, I did not bother to register it in CA. I've since lost my Oregon registration and title paperwork, but I still have the original bill of sale. Do I now need to pay California to get an official title that I can sign over to the new owner? Is there a specific DMV form for this?
I'd also welcome any recommendations of RV salvage companies that could help me with this for little cost. Thanks!
