How to get rid of a Static Caravan.

[Fellstoflats]

We've got 2 static caravans in our yard, which need to go.

Has anyone got any experience or tips as to the best place to advertise them to get them gone?

One is old, but wind and water tight- would be great for a lunch room or storage, but not really for living.

The other one is habitable (I'm still inhabiting it!), had a brand new combi boiler last month.

What's the best way to get rid?

We had one years ago
Took it apart and sold metal for scrap and took rest to tip
We also had a tourer which one of my mates took to a grass track event and smashed it up grass track towing a caravan race ! That was a spectacle
Glad it wasn’t in my field

Advertising on local Facebook groups will be a sure way to attract the local scrap and rubbish clearance folk. I couldn't tell you how much money or indeed which way it would flow.

I sold my inhabitable static on Facebook marketplace a year ago and had far too many people interested.
I bought it for £3,500 lived in it for 3 years and sold it for £4,500 and even when sold was offered more for it.
There were some Gypsies interested and came to look but they were the nicest people you could wish to meet. Only reason they didn't buy was because the floor moved too much (he was about 25 stone, of course it feckin moved!) I was sorry they didn't buy it because they really were such nice people.

Set fire to one then squashed it with jcb and took to scrap yard in a trailer.

I would sooner give it away for free to anyone that would collect it than scrap it myself. There is a lot of crap to deal with, insulation for a start.
They are not worth much in scrap either.

plumber was telling me about someone who spent ages pulling off the aluminium, which he then sent for scrap, said afterwards that the amount of time it took, it was not worth the bother

Squash it first then burn it

Aluminium is good money per tonne but it weights like helium!

When the one here was damaged in a storm, I dismantled it fairly carefully and stashed all the ali sheets away for later use. I'm gradually working my way through my supply using them for all sorts of projects. Easily cut and fastened I would never think of chucking ali.

Advertise on self.build groups, people are looking for these to live in while they build their new home.
