Sounds like "The Three Investigators" The Secret of Terror Castle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_I...One of the kids has an uncle (I think) who runs a junkyard, and the kids build their clubhouse in a RV under the junk.
http://www.threeinvestigatorsbooks.co... says "Headquarters for The Three Investigators is a damaged 30-foot mobile home trailer within the salvage yard which has been cleverly hidden from view by stacks of junk which surround it. It is accessible only by several secret passages and hidden entrances including their favorite, Tunnel Two. Headquarters contains a small laboratory, a dark room, and an office with a desk, typewriter, telephone, tape recorder and reference books. All of their equipment was rebuilt from junk that came into the salvage yard."
Andy, that's an amazingly quick response and you've nailed it, thank you!
Great. Glad to help (I read these books back in the 1970s).
Loved, loved, loved the Three Investigators. It was an "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" series, and the fifteen or so that we owned always had a place if honor on the shelves.
Children's chapter book (8-12)
Story is about a club of kids who solve crimes.
The only detail I remember is that their clubhouse was a caravan in a scrapyard. I think to get to it you went through a hole in the fence then through a tunnel within the scrap.
