- coolmom42Explorer III see really decrepit motor homes/campers advertised as "great for hunting camp."
Also a lot of parts for sale on Craigslist & Ebay. Depending on where you are, you could part it out and sell the frame etc for scrap. - buta4Explorer

X2 - and don't forget guys who look for scrap. - OasisbobExplorerI have known two folks who took apart their truck camper & class C motorhome scrapping the metal. Tok a few days. It was shocking to see what little there is to an RV.
- Bionic_ManExplorerYou should never have to pay to get rid of it. At the very least, a recycler/scraper would come and pick it up. Usually, they will pay you something for it.
- rooney77ExplorerPull out the working components, including windows and frames. There's a ton of people converting old uhauls and such and would be foaming at the mouth for a rotted out camper with working components.
- ScottGNomadSadly, I had to take our old TC to the transfer station when it was just too rotten to fix anymore. I left it there sitting next to the pit and the guy on the excavator waited until I drove away to crush it and put it in the pit trucks.
- Jim_ShoeExplorerThere's a salvage yard near where I live that stores them on their property and parts them out on a do it yourself basis. You bring your own tools, remove the part(s) you need and pay on the way out. At some point down the road, they put what's left in a car crusher and haul it away to be melted down. They don't pay the owner very much, but an RV is really hard to throw away and they know it.

I agree, the bare frame is steel and would sell to a scrape yard. - midnightsadieExplorer IITRACKRIG,, they got you.
