Who buys the big burnt out rv frames at copart, how do they transport them? I'm assuming they take them to the closest scrap yard. Do they cut them up on site before loading for transport?

It depends and what are they're looking for? Do they want to rebuild it, part it out or scrap it? Do they need a VIN tag, a frame, the engine? If they scrap it, they can't do that at Copart site and scrap yards generally have a maximum size requirement. Anyway, burnt out RVs probably still have too much fluff to be accepted as a whole item. At my neck of the woods, most scrapped transit buses go to the same yard, because the other yards don't have a long enough press and won't cut them in two smaller pieces. On the other hand, I've seen videos where the yard use a shear to cut them into pieces. The ferrous yard I make business used to receive semis, but since they're been taken over by a corporate giant, the press is gone, I see seldom cabs (no truck frame) and they press cars using a block of steel to flat/crush them before loading them in trailers mixed with shred. In other words, if you plan to bid on burnt out rvs, I think that it is safe bet to expect having to move them at your location and prepare them before sending them to a yard.
NEW TO SCRAPPING? READ THIS: Build up your horde of magnetic and non-magnetic metals in two piles until you have a better understanding of the business. Magnetic material has low value and is mostly always steel / shred / short iron. Read old threads about non-magnetic metals and ewaste (and how to sort them), but don't forget that they generally have absolutely no tolerance for contamination (screw / iron / foreign material).
