    It really did cut down on my scrap storage moving into the 5th wheel dont have a backyard to store stuff in anymore, but the upside is there 4-5 scrap yards within a mile of my new location so my way of scrapping will just have to change from being able to break stuff down alot and getting full profit to just snagging certain items that are easily reached and rest will go in the metal bin and just take what ever i got at the time in, instead of stock piling metal and taking it in as a big load...

    Maybe rent a small storage unit for the bigger loads, break it down there and haul it in. Could probably pay for itself easily.

    I actually thought about that I had a pretty decent size shed in my backyard that held all my tools and classic car parts and ebay items i sell, i dismantled it and loaded it and everything that was in it into a small storage unit until i get done moving and while i was there today trying to find some carpentry tools for a side job i have this weekend i said to myself "if i get a bigger unit i wouldnt be digging through everything , and could use the room for scrapping" funny you mentioned it also, i think that will be in my future plans when i get done remodeling the 5th wheel which is kind of hard to do while im also living in it! LOL thanks Mecanic688 for the great suggestion!
