The parting out project has been a lot of fun but Marital harmony is contingent on having this thing gone by spring.

Does anyone know how much aluminum there is on the average coach?

That will determine whether or not I can get a scrapper to take it away for free.

Likewise the option is available to the group- I posted what's left in the flea market section.

I have some interest in the rear suspension and some pieces of skin but I'd let it all go for nothing if it could all go.

I'm in East NC zip 27909

THanks

Dave,

Someone here mentioned that there was a problem scrapping the body due to
the spray on insulation on the inside.

That will be a challenge but if there is enough metal to be salvaged then the effort to remove the foam will be worth it to someone. This is a very poor area I live in.
