You need to charge a fee for demo and haul bill to landfill. Best method would be to strip all you can and want to and then have a trackhoe come in and do final demo, load in dump truck and haul off. You should be left with the frame to cut up with a torch. Tour travelling distance does provide a kink to work out.

I used to have a crew to do mobile homes. now I only do them out of desperation, they are a big pain in the butt. with little if any profit. the clean up is worse then a regular house destruct, and its worth at least a thousand to just pull the floor. the gravy ( the frame) in any thing newer then 1985 is a joke. 600 lb for medium maybe 1200 for big with axles, and you will be lucky to get #1 for most of it.

I would do for $600 if they provided the removal. A nice big truck with some chains around certain spots could rip the walls off that trailer very quickly.
