RV 'Scrap' Yards in Ontario

Hi:

I spent some time, as did a friend of mine, trying to find an old trailer scrap yard to see if we could buy some parts at more reasonable prices.

To my surprise I found little to nothing in the province of Ontario, other than some individuals with small ad-hock part caches floating around and one person who takes them straight to the crusher. Does anyone know of a place (Ontario)?

I even went so far as to ask 3 or 4 dealers at the RV show yesterday, none of them knew anyone and they seemed to just use on the fly ways of getting rid of trailers that are too old to sell.

Any leads appreciated.

  • there are several RV surplus stores in southwestern Michigan.
    They buy surplus parts from the RV manufacturers in Northern Indiana.
    I have used and like Brontrager's Surplus on US 12 east of White Pigeon, Michigan
    They usually have wheels and axles, some furniture, lots of small interior RV parts, some appliances
    Another place is Tri State RV Surplus in Hudson, MIchigan, but they are not as big

  • Give Can-Am RV in London Ontario a call. Last time I was there I noticed a huge back field with a lot of old RVs. Do not know if they part them out but some of them were beyond their best before date.
