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 will mirror what others have said, it probably won't be worth the time and expense of getting rid of all the non aluminum materials. I just converted a 27 foot into a car hauler and what I got out of the scrap metals was only enough to buy what was needed for conversion. I burned all the wood and have a dumpster at my shop to get rid of everything else, otherwise it would have been a negative endeavor. Best bet is see if a scrap yard may give you a price for the unit, I know some around here will do so. Usually a few dollars per hundred pounds, but less hassle.
Into a car hauler? Are the axels heavy duty enough for that??
The trailer had a 6K GVWR, I also cut the frame shorter. I do want to get it on a scale to see how heavy it is empty. FWIW though the car that is regularly carried is a lightweight drag car, so not concerned until I start carrying bigger stuff around.
OK, Thanks
