Have an older Snowriver truck camper that is heavily damaged and do not want to do the Craiglist thing or try to sell privately. Has anyone ever used an RV salvage dealer they would recommend or real world experience you could share.
Salvage dealers pay very little for an RV that has little parts resale value. Depending on the condition, you may end up having to pay them a disposal or transport fee (if they come and get it). If the RV still has parts that can be resold, the value of the RV will go up.
There is a huge RV salvage yard near this area and 75% of their business is parts resale to collision centers and RVrs looking for inexpensive parts for their own RV. The remainder is scrape recycling from what is leftover. They really don't take scrapes (RV's to messed up to be worth pulling parts) anymore and send you to some commercial garbage center. Even their unit yard either have newer insurance totaled RV's or very old ones with rare parts or newer ones that still have many good salable parts.
