- This old cabover camper has been sitting on my property since I bought it. I decided to scrap it and see how much money I would get. It was disgusting and filthy but I got it done!

you did your part for the environment which you should be proud brother....nice diesel ford is that a non turbo??
Non turbo. I wish I could find a turbo kit for it. I may have lost a few years off of my life by taking that thing apart...
How was it not cost effective
to break the camper down
when you said the junkyard
would not have taken it
in any other fashion?
Unfortunately, there's not much scrap value in any metals today. Copper, aluminum and brass are your best bets for scrapping. Forget ferrous metals. Not worth the time.
Not true anymore in 2022....
Could be worse over here in Cali $24 would just about cover the gas you used to drag it down the hill. lol
Arizona is not much better
lol that was sad but way funny, love the humor!! NY gas $2.07
Looks like you are making some good progress. 4 weeks till we arrive at our land =)
That's exciting! It's all downhill once you get your property!
Best video ever!! :)
Hopefully the views of the video paid you more than the scrap metal
I'm a new subscriber and I've been catching up on your older videos. I wish I knew about your channel when you were tearing this trailer down. As someone who has restored a couple of vintage trailers, I can tell you that there were a bunch of fixtures on it that you could have sold also. There are lots of folks out there that are really into restoring those old trailers and they're always looking for original vintage parts such as light lenses, windows, vents, sinks, wheels, interior fixtures etc. You can make decent money off of those random little parts. Unfortunately I'm a day late and a dollar short and not much help to you now. In any case... I'm glad I found your channel. I'm really enjoying seeing how you've worked up to where you are so far. You have a beautiful family and your drive to get things done and create a life for all of you is very nice to see. I'm looking forward to catching up to where you are now with things. - All the best~ Theresa
Thank you Theresa...
You must be living right and God is taking care of you.
There may have been some labor in getting rid of the camper, but it had to go. Taking out all of the trees and brush takes time as well, and there is little gained from that, except to clean up the property so that you can move forward with having a nice homestead.
The copper would bring more cleaned aka no plastic coating as well as window frames no glass no metal screws holding it together but all in all not bad $25 and you got that thing off your land
Yep, he could of spent a couple more hours stripping the wire and cleaning the aluminum frames in the hot Arizona sun to make roughly 3 more dollars, tops. I mean considering this video was from 3 plus years ago, during 2015/16 the prices/market was better than then they are today, especially aluminum.
Scraping isn’t worth the time, literally. The only two common scrap metals worth while is copper and brass. (Not counting CC) To be honest, idk if those are even worth the time. I mean I guess if you are a electrician or plumber, well then it’s a different story.
I use to do a little scraping to make extra money. But the new tariffs, regarding Trump and China have sent prices to crash..
Could've sold it to someone, or given it away. I would've taken it in a heartbeat.
Random Stuff In Oregon He was able to use the materials.
You could have sold the Windows on Ebay for a bit more than you got from the scrap Yard
I was ready to be done with it. If I had taken the glass out of the windows I could have gotten more also.
So how and where do people expose of their campers and Rvs?
LOL should have asked I would have told you scrap prices are way down but the barbed wire made up for your efforts. Oh and you got garbage off your property.
I knew scrap was low but I didn't think it was $24 low. Yes! garbage gone.
I would have paid you $25.00 for the trailer windows.I,ve been looking everywhere for some.
I can't believe you junked that camper, it's ten times better than the one I am living in !!! The one I live in use to belong to Bill and Hillary Clinton. They lived in it while Bill was governor of Arkansas. Bill told me they would still be living in it, but Hillary keeps bumping her head on the ceiling when she does her pole dancing. That Hillary is a mess, she is always banging her head on something.
But you had fun ? LOL no just allot of work
Usually all you can get is the axle and wheels
I wouldn't say it was fun but it was most definitely educational!
But if you had not tore it apart, what else could you do with it? the scrap yard was not going to take it. Maybe blow it up or set it on fire?
You could have sold the trailer for $100.00 on craigslist.. People around here use them for goats or pigs by putting a 4X8 piece of plywood and a cage on it. Trim the frame of anything that is sticking out past the floor and add a TSC set of fenders.. If you will come every time, the scrapper will keep anything farm related.. They get wood stoves from time to time, too.
The previous owner tried to sell it before the roof caved in and could not sell it. I wanted it off the property. it was too far gone
I have the exact same problem right now
My cousin lived in one of those
and its still on the property
$1500 to remove...
So,
It has aluminum shell/trim/window cases/door
etc
Johnny Cash style
One piece at a time.
Hope the mice don't move into the new RV. Yikes!
That happened to a you tuber that had no dogs or cats outside. They were in the new camper as the old one was being destroyed. He literally took out the whole inside and mouse proofed everywhere with you would think overkill measures, but them buggers still found a couple plaxes he had to keep at to keep them out. Another pest was the ants, even harder to keep out. At least Red Poppy hasn't any feed for livestock arounf or piles of wood they aren't removing in timely fashion that the mice ,ight grow in. One youtuber had 2 families of them mov into their raised beds garswn to deliver but moved out quick after.
Thank you for your honesty and work put in to taking apart trailer...I enjoyed the video.....we have a 31 foot camper that is a leaky dump. ..and I have to dismantle it cause I'm not gonna give it away. Our Junkyards and places won't take them...I figured it will be fun to demolish and sell the stuff that's good and we will have an awesome utility trailer one day!
Gday yer i got caravan gutted on the inside about 14-15ft for $150au stripped it got about $90 in copper and alloy and turning it into a flat bed trailer 1 day
the kid had fun stripping it
cheers
I wish I got that much...
You can't weigh this sort of thing as how much it would pay you back per hour. You had an eyesore that had to go and that's pretty much the end of it. You handled it the only way that made sense. I would have kept the trailer portion and sold that though. Someone is always fixing those up.
I'm watching all of your videos again. You will probably never see this but here goes. Right at the end there, you got me laughing and it felt real good. I needed that. Like I said, again. Thanks for a bunch of great videos. Worth watching again.
Some things you have to learn the hard way. My ADD would probably done the same thing.. Let’s do it quickly before MY ADD changes my mind for me. I typically don’t make the best snap decisions at times.
how much per pound did you get? someone wants me to scrap their rv trailer. not sure if the scrap will pay for the garbage after seeing this.
not enough. It was a waste of time except for the fact that I wanted to get it off my property. I don't remember the price per pound but it was not enough.
When you said at least $100 in materials scrap oh, I said to myself no more than $18...
scrap value is way down like $40 a ton here just went up to $60 last week
I'll never do that again... I may have lost a couple years off of my life doing that .
Just out of curiosity, the stickers on the right side of the door say what states that were visited? Thanks for sharing!
Not sure. That door's long gone.
Red Poppy Ranch just wondering. Thank you for your reply!
I so want to buy two acres and homestead. Where can one have a trailer on property like this?
We have 3 acres and can put a trailer (not a camper for yr round living tho) in upstate NY. Theres much cheaper places to buy land that is in the warmer states and allows it. put your ? into the youtube search and see if they have any videos up covering this and google the question. There are even some states that will just give you the land right now -- just got to live there, and that would be internet work or retired.
+Pat Bootie Thank you for your response. Do you mean like a single wide trailer or similar?
singular or double wide. our land with perk text and well, pole for electric cost $17,500
Hey, it's a 'WIN', isn't it? 'Nuff said!
I like it!
when he started taking it apart I noticed its a slid in camper on a trailer.
What is the song that's playing called?
Awesome on the wire! Good that the TT is gone.
make a chicken coop out of it !
It was too rotten and infested with mice.
Alot of work for $25.00 lol.
$24 damn..
This video just showed up as one I’ve not seen. I’m not exact sure when I started watching your channel but it was way before this. $3.50 an hr. Big money brother lol
That's me!!!
this is exactly why everyone with property needs a really huge hole to get rid of stuff lol. nice channel keep up the good wk
Thanks Mike!
