In 2018 Scamp changed the door hardware. The door latch was updated to a more modern standard RV latch and the hinges were changed to flat hinges with spacers to align the pivot points. The new hardware is black and easy to spot. Earlier this year some cracking issues were noted with the new hinges. I have not really seen the new door set up, just read a few comments on the new door set up.

Owners of late model Scamps with the new black entry door hardware should do a careful inspection of the hinges, especially the top one, for signs of fatigue or cracking. Now is a good time to do it as trailers are coming out of hibernation, before you’re ready to take that first big trip. 

I recently became aware of a number of failures posted in the Facebook groups, including one in which the top hinge broke completely and the door fell off while towing. The trailer was less than a year old. A number of people have posted pictures of their cracked hinges, and I have become convinced this is not an isolated problem. 

For now Scamp seems to be mailing replacement hinges to affected owners, but I think there may be a design flaw. One owner posted his observation that the hinge pins are not aligned due to the door and shell curvature, which puts a twisting stress on the hinge body every time the door is opened and closed, leading to metal fatigue and cracking. The old ball-type hinges are more forgiving of alignment variations. 
 

Hopefully someone who owns a newer trailer will post  their experience on the new door set up. Scamp's website has not been updated showing the new door.
