    happyscraper, thats an awesome idea! However, this thing, I have been kicking it apart its so old and weak, it never would have withstood holding scrap. I ''tough'' tested it after reading your post and theres just no way.

    I turned in 20 lbs of extrusion from the top half of the camper today (including the door). Whats going to be left is the sheet metal from the roof and bottom sides and the frame.

    I have a small sink and stove top waiting to be turned in and the wiring is about 4 lbs total. Most of that was from the main line - what wired the lights fit in the palm of my hand.





    Honestly, I probably wouldn't do one of these again because the amount of wood/insulation/cushion/plastic/canvas ''garbage'' seemed to be most of the camper. However, it was free, I can burn the wood waste and it was a learning experience.

    Its raining cats and dogs here now so once it stops I will finish it and post my totals but, I honestly don't see the remaining aluminum weighing much more than 30 lbs if that. So, this kinda gives an idea for anyone wanting to do one of these.

    Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you all I RAN from the wolf spiders in this thing, they were frickin HUGE!!!!!!

    I have both a weight distribution hitch and I have a separate adjustable Tri-ball. I wish the WD hitch was a tri-ball, I miss having it on the truck- always nice to pull a pin, spin it and boom.. haul any trailer you need to in seconds!

    During the spring an summer, I had this huge spider, that made a home on the corner of my house. Where you would enter the car port after coming down the stairs. It made some awesome webs, an helped keep the bugs away..lol. I named it Charlotte. An told my wife I need to find a baby pig I could name Wilbur. lol.

    Sorry had to share, as the wolf spider made me think of it!

    Sirscrapalot - Always enjoys a good book, an Charlotte's web is a classic!
