Caravan chassis trailer.
zetec - 3/3/08 at 09:47 PM

I've found a couple of local caravan breakers who can supply me with a chassis for next to nothing....as long as I take the whole stripped out caravan.

Anyone got any advice on how to get the body off and broken up? I'm going to try and get a older style galvanized steel chassis rather than a light weight ali job.

Ali is worth a fortune at the moment so buy it and knock it to bits with a big hammer. Cash in the ali and take the rest of the gubbins to the tip.

Set it on fire, only decent end for the bloody things

What I like about this one is despite the huge fire ball it appears out the flames undamaged!

Just tow it down the motorway a bit to fast until it gets a wobble on and disintegrates, seen a few like this beside the road preceded by a trail of debris.

You have obviously never watched Top Gear or Brainiac!!!! If you did you would have about 200 ways to remove the body in about 3 seconds flat!!!!

If the interior is half tidy you may be able to sell it to somebody doing a van conversion. Worth a punt on eBay!

Try and get a conquerer 520 LUX

I need some bits

Just tow it to a scrap yard with a big hammer in your boot. Weigh it before and after. You should get a few quid!!

This used to be a caravan but i didnt get the fun of breaking it.
