This thing is totaled. Mold, mouse pizz, leaking roof, broken window and nothing works. It’s a 97 Jayco 32 footer that don’t owe me a dime. It’s at Mille Lacs. So closer the better from that area.
Thanks in advance!

Invite EPG up for a grillout and fireworks show. The rest will take care of itself.

Just a word of warning, Jon. Regardless of if you sell it, give it away, or pay somebody to take it off your hands, make sure you have paperwork that proves the transaction AND get their name, address, phone number, etc as well as a signed bill of sale / agreement that details they are willingly taking possession of this item.
This is the kind of deal that can really come back to bite a guy. Give away an old RV, the guy thinks he’s going to fix it up and then loses interest or whatever. So he abandons it somewhere or dumps it.
The VIN number points the cops right back to you. You see where I’m going with this, I’m sure.
An uncle of mine owns an appliance repair business and back in the day I worked for him for a while. Well, about every 5 years, he would sell off the crapped out repair vans and get new ones because by that time they were shot. This went on for years with no issues until he sold one of the vans to a scruffy looking kid.
He gets “the call” at 2:00 AM from the cops. Sir, do you own a van VIN number this/that? It’s registered to Big Don’s Appliance and you’re the owner, correct?
Well, it turns out the kid and some buddies loaded up the van on a Sautuday night and things got pretty wild. Whipping donuts in the school parking lot. TP’ing an ex-girlfriend’s house. And then the real cherry on top. The kid tried to drive across the lawn of a math teacher who gave him an F that he felt like he didn’t deserve. And he got the van stuck right in the middle of the front lawn and kids did a runner.
Basically, this kid did everything except transfer the title and registration of the van. And of course, my uncle gave the kid a bill of sale but didn’t bother to take any info from him other than his signature. Which you couldn’t read. So now the police are on the line and a very irate homeowner is yelling in the background for somebody to come and get this ####### van off his lawn.
So bottom line, have the info about who takes on this little project just in case you get “the call”. You never know.
List it on Marketplace and as Grouse said, make sure you document the sale regardless of “Free”. Plenty of scrappers out there that will part it out
Put ice holes in the floor, drag it out on the ice and sell it as a ice house for $500. It will sell in a day
Does it run?
I have been to a few RV demo derbies at a county fairs before. Your retired and maybe that is your new hobby.
I can help ya paint it.
Had one years ago at the cabin property we purchased. Found out quickly it wasn’t easy to get rid of. Ended up getting a 20yd dumpster and a few of us cut it up and tossed it. This was an old motorhome. One of my nephews buddies took the chassis with a 454 and hauled it home on a trailer. If you did the same you could then tow the trailer chassis to a salvage yard and get a few bucks in scrap.
Post it for sale. Seriously, someone would come up with a master plan on a $100 unit. If you list it for free, they will just think it’s junk
^Bingo. Post it for sale for just a little bit and someone will want it.
In college if you set a couch out on the curb with a “Free” sign, it’d sit there for months and not get touched. Tape a piece of cardboard that says $50 on it and that thing would be stolen before bar close the same day.
list it as a hunting shack… leave out the mouse urine features. otherwise, there is a guy, scrapper scott in the area that takes stuff and recycles.
If that has a Ford big block in it with low miles I might know some one who take it off your hands.
