Title: How to scrap/recycle an old RV
Post by: Whitpirate on June 05, 2019, 08:47:19 AM: Inherited an old 1990 Tioga Ford motorhome. Hasn't been run in several years and is basically worthless. How does one get rid of an RV like this? Has a generator and a under 5000 miles transmission connected to the 460 but I'd hazard they all need work as it has sat for 15 years. I'm not looking to smash it down myself.... anyone know of a vendor or group that will take projects like this on?

On the serious side GLWR.🤔

Or if only mechanical issues and is otherwise livable, maybe try here:

Good luck, they are a pain and generally expensive to get rid of, that is why so many are abandoned.
