Hi, When an RV is at the end-of-life, what do you do? Are they easy to dispose of like a car or truck? thanks, groundhogy

Groundhogy:
What is the RV? Is it a trailer, a class C with a gas engine, a diesel pusher? Does it run and is drivable to a salvage yard or dump?
While cars like the above Ford Explorer are sometimes sellable because the engine, transmission or rear ends are often rebuildable and resellable, most items on an RV are not. If it's a DP the engine and transmission may be of interest to rebuild shop even though they'll have to then deal with the rest of it.
There isn't much to recycle in an RV because of the flooring, the walls, the roof, the insulation, the sinks, cupboards, shower, etc. In other words there isn't a lot of easy steel to get to like a car with just a couple of seats that are easy to tear out.
Let us know what happens, I'm sure there are others in the same situation.
