My grandfather passed away 5 years ago and ever since I have tried to gain ownership of his 60s land yacht tradewind. My plans are to restore it but since he has passed my mom and uncle share power of attorney over his belongings. My uncle said we could "buy him out" of his part. So I am looking for a possible value of my grandfathers camper so we could buy out my uncle. It has been sitting in the same spot for over 20 years and completely untouched for the 5 years he has been gone. The tires are about an inch to 2 in to the ground. The shell is great condition other then a small leak up top. The floor is not in great condition it will have to be replaced. There are weeds around it growing into it and are as tall as the camper itself. I will answer any questions needed.. I dont know how to add images.

I suggest contacting Jim Polk and getting an appraisal. He's a professional appraiser specializing in vintage trailers, and he can offer an unbiased and fully documented valuation.
Length is a big factor, along with layout and condition, but from what you've described, $5k is probably a good "ballpark" number to prepare your family for what to be considering each's share.
