Tear down the porch/redneck atrium? What good is it if you're hauling the camper away?

Always has to be one in every bunch.

Answer: Because the value of the porch is something on the order of 3x that of the RV...in materials cost alone.

Also because "something else" will be taking the RV's place. Currently leaning toward a "tiny house", but that's as yet to be determined. So there's a good chance the porch and "redneck atrium", AKA the utility/laundry/etc room...will be just as useful in the new configuration.

Sorry dude. First comment was tongue in cheek.
My appumption about the porch was wrong. I apologize. I didn't realize it was finished living space.
Is the camper worth anything or could you just find some ole boy with a big truck or tractor to hook on and drag/skid out of the way? Then it's easy to jack/block it up and get some wheels on it.

Hmmm...a thought. It IS over 3 decades old. It does NOT need to ever move reliably down the road again. That's the reason I took the wheels off of it to begin with. My thoughts went something like "Well, it's boon-docked permanently, don't need these wheels in the way".

However, we need to at least set it up temporarily after, as it'll be our "porta-potty" until we get at least the plumbing built into the new space. What are the chances that "dragging it out of there" would damage things enough to prevent that use?

It needs to move either SIDEWAYS about 2 feet...or FORWARD about 16 feet in order to make the axles accessible.

Then it'll get moved to its new (semi)permanent home on the back side of the property (so we can use its facilities), about a quarter-acre away. After we build in the new building...we'll strip anything of value, then it's essentially scrap. Only paid $2k for it & got 2+ years worth of living out of it, I'd say it paid for itself.
