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
any recycling place should take it I would think
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.
Does that have a Ford big block ?
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.
The guy Glen is talking about is Scott Decker 320-674-0533
If that has a Ford big block in it with low miles I might know some one who take it off your hands.
One word Jon “Tannerite”
Drive it downtown Minneapolis and toss the keys to anyone with a tent.
Back in the day they did a contest every year on a lake in the north metro to guess when the car would go through.
They’d take a scrapper and I assume remove what was a major pollutant (or not, it was the 80’s) and have a charity contest to see who could guess the date it would sink.
Sink that baby on the flats for charity. Gotta make good structure, too.

Hahaha EPG, too late.
Talk to Jim Straicha up there…every resort owner knows him…he pulls stuff out of the lake that falls thru. He has a scrap yard and likes anything with metal.

I have about 10# in the barn that is waiting on the right occasion for a prairie dog colony. However, I think a RV would be entertaining. How about we set it up by that pig farm next door? Pre-tenderized pork!!!
BTW, its a hard sided camper trailer, no motor or cab
I was going to say tannerite!

Oh dang I thought he said RV, I guess I always pictured a “RV” to be a motor home, tannerite is the right choice then. Those old campers are tough to get rid of. Let er blow
Yup Tannerite and throw in a couple 20lb propane tanks! It’ll be fun I promise
See if your local fire department wants to practice putting out a trailer fire and then have the frame hauled out by a scrapper.
