recycling-how much aluminum is in average camper?
I have a wrecked 30 ft Zinger trailer, 2006 model. Local scrap yard says 41 cents/lb for scrap aluminum. Is it worth it to peel all the siding off? Have no idea how much weight the siding makes up

I did the same thing that "Caveman Charlie" help do, turned an old trailer into a utility trailer.
The problem that I came across, when I recycled the aluminum, they wanted the "clean" aluminum seprarate from the "dirty". Clean, self explainatory. Dirty, was aluminum with the sealant, screws and framing still attached. Well it was already lumped together, so I only got paid at the "dirty" price. But it was enough to get rid of all the appliances and garbage to the dumps. I broke even, when done. :B
