When your MH you sell it on, then when its too old for that person they sell it on.
Ultimately someone buys it and cant sell it on. With the thousands of aging motorhomes, what are the options.
People take them to scrap yards? Do they pay to receive them, or do people pay to dispose of them?
 
I think most keep plodding along until it's no longer economic to repair, lack of parts or rust call time.
Then I guess it's off to the breakers yard

Scrap yard or motorhome breakers will pay ..

but may charge if they have to transport it on a low-loader

Scrap yard for mine. Supposed to pay me £99 but it never arrived.
Ask Jim about the way they removed it. Hilarious but criminally dangerous.

Depends on how much fibreglass or GRP is involved - difficult and costly to process (which is why abandoned boats are becoming a national issue and why the yachting industry is not as green as it would like you to think it is). Good old fashioned aluminium coach-builts should net the owner a nominal fee provided they can be driven to the scrapper . . . .
