Very sorry to hear about your tranny problem.
You say the tranny is "busted" and I am wondering if you cracked the case or the transmission just does not work?
Are you sure that the problem isn't a failed touch pad?
I do not trust
I agree with many others that you should not tow it to a graveyard as it is most likely worth WAY more than you think.
I believe there are still a lot of buyers out there for a coach of "promise".
Put it in storage if you have to do it.  Think it all out.  Ask questions, place ads, and other creative things..
Is the coach your fulltime residence?
Get an annual price for a RV park space and put it there til you REALLY DECIDE WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING.
There are a LOT OF PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM who will be glad to heip you think it all through. Take advantage of it.

Folks,

Since we don't have facts from the OP, we are all speculating.

We don't know the root cause of the failure-- major separation of the rear bulkhead along with the transmission would change the equation. 

Overall condition of the coach? Accumulated preventive maintenance needed (tires, air bags, shocks, fuel lines, etc) that, if OE may be at the end of their useful life.

The coach could be a gem waiting for a new owner, or it could be ready for retirement.  We really don't know.

With FACTS, we can certainly help the OP with viable options.
