That is a ghetto looking hitch..... It almost looks factory like what the VW beetle trailers used. Definitely looks sketchy which is why no one wants to tow it. What size ball is that? Normal trailers are 2-5/16" but I could see this being a 2" ball with how odd it is.
A camper that age probably spent a few years neglected. I would go to an RV parts store and get some lap sealant and butyl tape because I'm sure the roof needs resealed and some windows are probably leaking. Butyl is pretty cheap, $5-10 for a 50' roll and the lap sealant is about $10-15 a tube. You can't just use regular silicone on these, lap sealant is the only stuff that will work for the roof. I take that back, you can use silicone for the roof but it won't hold more than a year before needing resealed. Lap sealant is the only way to go.
Biggest (most expensive) things on campers are the fridge, AC, furnace and water heater. Fridges and AC's get expensive really quick too. It sounds like you have well over $1000 in it with the tow bills and all.... Hope you have some skills in rebuilding this little gem.
