Congratulations on the new 16 to you! You will love the extra room and storage, potty, shower too. Contact Scamp,for,the location of that wire, I assume it is for a window mount AC?
Eddie provided the link to Scamp's info on the roof air conditioners but I thought it might be helpful to publish it in this thread. Here it is:
Q. Can roof air conditioners be added to older Scamp trailers?
A. All 5th wheel Scamps can use roof air conditioners. Older 5th wheels may require the oak reinforcement supports (can be purchased from the Scamp parts department). On most 16 foot Scamps from the year 2000 the roof has been supported for the roof air. On 16 foot Scamps prior to this year most didn't have the roof air support. To check for support find the 120 volt wire tucked behind the fabric strip. This wire will be on the same side of the trailer as the 120 panel with the circuit breakers. Any trailers with the wire and support in the roof can have the roof air added. Thirteen foot Scamp trailers don't have the roof air support unless there is already a roof air installed or if the original buyer requested that the trailer be built that way. Also most trailers with a power vent in the roof air spot won't have supported roofs. Most 16 and 13 foot trailers prior to 2000 used a side air conditioner in the lower part of the closet by the door. This air conditioner is no longer available.
Check out Scamp website FAQ on A/C info. for roof mounted A/C info. http://www.scamptrailers.com/ask-scamp/faq-s.html Some have mounted small household A/C's in various locations.

All Scamps that were made for AC units had the ceiling reinforced, and if not made for a roof mount AC, a window option is all that can be done.

Hi Doug,
We change out search for a 13 to 16 and now have 2004 16 with floor plan 4.
Looked on the Scamp Trailer site and found the below statement.
To check for support find the 120 volt wire tucked behind the fabric strip.
Since we are very new to the trailer I have no idea where to find the 120 volt wire.

I actually found this bit of information when referencing the compatability of putting an AC in the roof.
Just note that the roof of Scamps having a roof mount AC are heavily reinforced. Your only option is a window mount.
