Need an easy weekend project?
"Has potential" so the ad says! Vintage "Canned Ham" trailer. Good luck to the seller and potential buyer! Note: not my camper.

Weekend Project?
Looking at the photos, this trailer has been exposed to the elements for sometime. Probably not much can be salvaged.
The open side shows considerable weathering of the framing. The floor is probably totally wasted.
You are probably looking at removing 100% down to the frame....and then what do you have? Is the frame worth $500? Brakes might be rusted and frozen...bearings....axles...etc. Then the question of structural integrity of the frame. Welds and framing exposed and rusted, etc.
IF you said THEY would pay you $500 to remove it from their backyard, might be a consideration, Unless you can afford to invest a LOT of time and money to restore, and I use "restore" to actually mean "completely rebuild", I'd pass. IMHO
