If you really don't want it there, donate it to your local
fire department for a burn and learn, and take the tax
deduction.

A neighbour of ours in a similar position with a defunct
resediential
caravan. It had been leaking for years, so was extremely
damp, but he didn't bother to pour petrol inside..just
screwed up some newspaper in a carton and threw in a match.
Within minutes the entire thing was a raging inferno of
melting plastic and buckling aluminium, it had completely
gone within half an hour leaving little more than the
chassis. The OP might want to consider that, but only if
it's not near his workshop.

i had the impression that Farmall's was not a residential
caravan, but a modular house. two entirely different things. a
modular house is prebuilt in sections at an indoor facility,
then trucked to it's location in sections on flatbed trucks.
it's built like a regular stick built house, but is built
stronger than a site built home since it undergoes stresses in
transport. this type of house doesn't burn like those cracker
boxes on wheels. it's as safe as any stick built house as far
as fire.
