Anyone ever scrap one before? We have one that needed some roof work but when I opened it today for the first time in a year, WOW! Moisture has really taken its toll on the inside. It is shot. I already have two trailers, so Im not looking to convert it or completely tear it down. Any recomendations?
Sell it to a scrapper cheap for a scrapping trailer? Advertise it on CraigsList? Make a small trailer for a lawn tractor?
shucks yeah, scrap it down to the frame, and then sell the frame
thats kinda funny i too just today started to scrap an old bethany popup camper, lots of clean aluminum :)i may just save the lower half for for a small hauling trailing since all i have is my car to do my scrapping:( it wouldnt hold much but then again my car wont pull much LOL,, what do you suppose the frame is worth ?
It would make a great trailer for scrapping,no doubt. Itis only a single axle but it has electric brakes. I had it on craigslist to sell as is with a bad roof, but when we opened it up we realized it is just not salvagable. I reposted it as a good donor for a utility trailer, lol.Quote:

To me it was alot of work for not much gain, but the camper was free so it all came out in the wash.
I got a free pop up two weeks ago. Scrapped the roof and dumped the canvas and wood for $20
We now have added it to the fleet of trailers. It has made lots of money for us already.
Goto the curb side auctions and fill one trailer and come back and hook on to the empty one.
Not much towing cap but the heavy stuff goes in truck and light big bulky stuff goes in trailer.
it's a 25 mile round trip for me just to get to town. Then trying to figure out what's going on is a whole nuther ball park
