Labauer Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 We are in the process of purchasing land in order to keep residency in TN when we sell the house and go fulltime next year. There is a 5th wheeler on the property that was left who knows when. The current owners we are buying from are leaving it. We want it gone however don't know of someone might want to restore it. We haven't seen the inside and cannot tell from the outside what brand is the rv. Was wondering if anyone recognizes this rv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamRad Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Make removing it as part of the purchase. No sense you worry about the thing. Good luck.

Labauer Posted July 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 The owners were building a tiny house so property has frame of house, box truck, and building supplies besides rv. As part of contract they are takng house, truck, supplies but not rv since it wasn't theirs. We got a great price so didn't push rv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travelinbob Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 You may need to buy new or good used tires to even move it. The frame may break into pieces if you try to move it. Before you even start the process check everything out. It will be hard to sell or give away without a title. Maybe you could find someone wanting it for a hunting camp depending on what part of the country you are in. 2006 Elite Suite 36TK32001 F-550 Starhaulerwww.mytripjournal.com/elitesuitestravelsIN GOD WE TRUST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat & Pete Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Maybe just dig a hole push it in and use it as a tornado shelter , as long as it lasts . But , you might want to talk to the junkyard and see what it will cost you have them take it away . They might just do it for free . I wouldn't expect to get anything from them as scrap is not paying very well these days . Goes around , comes around . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Find the VIN number, it should be on the pinbox somewhere. Then ask your local DMV to run a search for the owner. There is a title somewhere for it. But if nothing turns up, you should be able to run a local ad in the newspaper saying that a rv that was left on such and such property will be removed and trashed unless moved...etc (public notice). After the ad runs, I'd call a junk man to come haul it for the steel and aluminum Alie & Jim + 8 paws 2017 DRV Memphis BART- 1998 Volvo 610 Lil'ole 6cyl Cummins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsinc Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Find a local scrap person, Craigslist is the best place, and since it is old and likely has no DMV records, let them demo it on site for the recyclables. Make sure they clean up after themselves as part of the job. Do it as one of the first items after you take ownership. Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmon Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Looks to me like a Layton or Wilderness from the mid-70's Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdickinson Posted July 30, 2016 Report Share Posted July 30, 2016 Aside from the vin # if it can be found you could check the date code on the tires. If bought new or close to new then the trailer wouldn't be that much older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drifter1959 Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Looks to me like a Layton or Wilderness from the mid-70's Ron If memory serves (which sometimes it doesn't) Wilderness had the green and yellowish stripe and Layton had a burgundy and yellowish stripe. Both manufactured by Skyline. Mule: 2016 RAM Mega Cab Dually 6X6, RAM Puck w/ Demco 21K Autoslide, Laramie, 6.7, Aisin, 4.10, Loaded. Cart: 2015 Jayco Pinnacle 38FLSA, Bells, Whistles.

ronmon Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Drifter..... I think you are right on! I had a late 70's Coachmen for "only" 24 years & it had 3 stripes - yellow, gold & tan. Everything in it still worked whenI sold it in 2003. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsallyh Posted July 31, 2016 Report Share Posted July 31, 2016 Drifter1959, Skyline did make Laytons, but Wilderness was a Fleetwood product. It resembles a Layton but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold a deposit till the job, even if its free, is done right. Return the deposit if you are satisfied with the end result. Heck, rental yards do it all the time. Makes sense!!

DKRITTER Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Trailer looks to be in decent shape for a 20ish year old trailer. I bet you can rung an ad and sell it for say 500ish and then the new owner could haul it off. win win 2013 Newmar Dutchstar 4318 2019 F150 KR 4X4 BlueOx 10K Tow Bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labauer Posted September 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2016 We closed on the property with rv included. The title was torn up but attorney did a bill of sale. A neighbor to our property asked for the rv. Other neighbors lined up for it if he changed his mind. He didn't and he removed it. We transferred title through another bill of sale. Never found a vin or name on the rv. It's from the 80s. Thank you for all your ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
