opinions on TT scrapping vs selling

Hi,
So I just bought a newer TT to replace my old 1994 Classic 300. Now I have to decide how to get rid of it. IT has a few roof leaks that I have constantly fought and some rotted spots on the floor. What I am thinking of doing is pulling off all the upgraded parts I added. Installing them on the new camper and scrapping the rest. I would be pulling of my MicroAir, Mount-n-lock, Golf Cart batteries, roof vent fans, Upgraded Converter, electric tongue jack...along with some interior items (tv mount etc).

The scrap yard said I would have to tear it down to bring in the rest of it.

So this is one option. The other one would be to pull off the items and see if anyone would want to purchase it as is. Either to fix up or part/scrap out.

Also. is there any market for parts such as a the stove, fridge, microwave etc etc?

Just kinda brainstorming and wanted to get others opinions an ideas.
Her is a pick of it:

RV salvage yards Thanks go to Thom for this link. If you have one close to you, might be worth the call.

From the RV Salvage yard list there are quite a few about 1-1.5 hours from me. I am thinking I may try to clean it up and sell it for a couple thousand prior to scrapping. See if there is any interest. The previous owner redid the interior paneling, flooring etc. It is too bad that when he did he didn't get the outside sheet metal lined up better. It left larger gaps at the seams and corners. They were sealed up with caulk, but I am pretty sure this is where the leaking is coming from.
