    sry my net has been down for 4 days. what the he-- we all gonna do when the lights go out for real . I digress. any way the last completev single wide I did was a 70 by 12 if I remember and it was 2 or 3 years ago, copper was down. my total take was about $900, but in my opinion there are a lot easier ways to scrap and make $900 it is a bear with out a back hoe or at least a tractor.



    Im doing one now rotted floor so it is not so bad but the copper and most of the aly is long gone. if I remember right the frame was about 900 lbs of #1 steel then, now most yards consider it #2 or light iron except for the axles. the one Im on now is a 40 or 45 footer, ill be lucky if the frame hits 500 lbs. if the floor had not been rotted to paper I would have passed. but here is a boom business if you have access to several, and the right property. A MOBILE HOME PARTS LOT LIKE A CAR PARTS LOT.
