Hi there, dont normally venture into this section of ph but was wondering if anyone knew of an american motorhome breakers that would be interested in my father in laws camper. It needs to go sharpish, sold it on ebay twice but the buyers either didnt turn up or even make contact etc. FIL has bought a larger camper and gone off on his retirement travels leaving behind a A reg fleetwood tioga arrow we now need to sell as its losing its storage. It starts and drives though no tax or mot, running gear is all good, big v8 with lpg,bit tatty outside, everything inside works, and they were even living in it for a while before swanning off to sunnier climes. It seems daft to simply scrap it and im sure theres money to be made by breaking it, i just dont have the space to keep hold of it and cant drive it on my license etc. So any suggestions welcome.
Thanks
Craig

There arent any motorhome breakers in the uk let alone rv breakers but there are caravan breakers which may buy iy if you google it.
Sadly the demand for rvs is low but at the right price it should sell,try ebay again but go as a classified ad with best offer and insist on a deposit as soon as an acceptable offer is made.
I know someone up here who may have a go at it (lancs) where are you based?
