We are not interested in restoring this trailer and would rather give it to someone who can do something with it than cut it up and send it to the landfill. It's free, but you have to come get it. We believe it was originally manufactured in 1964. Location is New Caney, TX.

According to my FIL, the frame may be rusted through, so it will have to be placed on a trailer for transport. She is definitely not a looker and would be quite the serious project. Loose contents inside the trailer are not included.

I posted about possibly restoring it and getting a ballpark idea of the cost. We decided the best course of action is to just get rid of it, one way or another.

That's a 1500-2k trailer minimum if you have a title. Clean it out good, take better pics and do your research. It's a no brainer.

I remember this camper! Wow, that's gonna be a lot of work. I am remodeling a 20 year old camper, that started in 100x better condition than that, and I feel it is a lot of work. Mad props to anyone who can turn this rough back into a Diamond, as I know some one can!

My wife just walked by and saw me browsing this thread over my shoulder and said nope unprovoked and just kept walking

I may have some convincing to do. She wants a pool so maybe I can get a money pit too

No title. Abandoned on the property 25+ years ago. Long-expired Michigan plates on it.

It's on a lot we are trying to sell, so we just want it gone. The time and hassle isn't worth any money we *might* get from it.

Craigslist it for 1k no title as a vintage trailer and see what happens. I see over $300 in parts alone in one pic guaranteed. Don't walk away from easy money.

Edit to add: also try FB market place

The op, like you, doesn't realize what he's got isn't junk. He can list this and sell it for solid cash with as little effort as it took him to post it on texags. It's a no brainer.

Some people just don't like (or need) money. That's a problem we can all aspire to have one day.

Some people think time, effort, and the consumption of physical space have value.

Dealing with people off of FB marketplace is not worth $300. Probably not worth $1000 either, the older I get.

More power to you OP. Hope you get it moved.

FB Marketplace is 99% scammers. I had 23 inquiries for a French horn I was selling and every single one of them was a scammer. 18 for a trombone I was selling. FB Marketplace is not worth any time or effort.

We had a couple people who were interested, but they wanted us to deliver it. One of them was near the TX/OK border. That's a hard no. Most of the legit listing places like RV Trader, etc. charge to list things for sale. We're tired of screwing around with it.

I know a guy that's interested. I'll put him in touch with you.

2cool fishing has a Classified section that you could post on. My experience was good selling a boat on there (legit interest and no scammers) and they have a free listing section as well as a vehicle section.

Have the dead hookers been removed, or is that the buyer's responsibility?

We sold our boat over there recently. 2cool is a great site and while there can be bad apples that slip in, it is well moderated.
