Stripping down a rotten camper

I have a 45 year old trailer that is rotten. My thinking is to strip it down and then make a flatbed out of it.

My plan of attack is the following order

1) all furnishings/cushions, etc.
2) all appliances
3) all benches/counters
4) all light fixtures in and out
5) All windows and doors.

The metal skin and wood walls, how do I take them down? I cannot just rip them down.
  • Your 45 year old trailer’s frame, axles, suspension, wheels etc. is worth all this effort? No salt damage? Rust?
