Had you sold that copper for scrap metal you could have taken your honey out for steak instead of crickets.
Probably true but it seems Copper was low at the time.
There is not much copper in a penny.
Seems the older ones had more copper but it was not worth removing from the sleeves and digging thru.

I considered it when we purchased the Momentum.
Decided against it for two reasons.
1.Reduced ground clearance. We always boondock. This means traveling down some dirt roads that can be rutted or muddy. The IS hangs pretty low. Ground clearance is reduced to about the height of the tires sidewalls. This means getting stuck would happen pretty easy.
2. I watched a video of the installation. They drop the coroplast and all of the insulation. When that is installed originally, it is just a frame with some tanks, wiring etc. installed, and it is upsidedown. So it is easy for the insulation to be put where it needs to be, and then the coroplast is screwed down over it. That holds it in place then the frame is flipped rightside up and a trailer is built on top of it.
Trying to reinstall the insulation after the trailer is built is an exercise in futility. Gravity just won't let it happen The video skipped that part for good reason. I seriously doubt the insulation is reinstalled as good as it was originally. We boondock in all kinds of weather, so that is important to us.
Of course I realize that my usage is likely different than most.
So others may be OK with doing it anyways.
Just throwing out there in case it might help someone decide
I didn't see my last install, but my 1st 2 IS installs they DID NOT drop the coroplast

Well Jerry,
I donโt usually go around giving people money for no reason, BUT there are a select few on here that I had gotten to know that I would help if really neededโฆ.
And in my eyes, wealth is measured by friendships weather be online or in personโฆ
