I've searched the maintenance forums and have found only one related post regarding my issue. I have a 2000 13' Scamp with the old "urinal" style fresh water tank filler receptacle. It is fractured and needs replacement. Scamp only sells a flat style fresh water filler. Both have 3 rivet or screw mounting holes. My question is for those who may have dealt with this upgrade ... do the mounting holes match the pre-existing holes? Does the attached filler spout/neck fit inside the filler tube of the water tank? And lastly, is the overall installation fairly straightforward and seamless, or is there modification(s) required? On one other related post, it seems that Camco sells a similar old style, but one comment says that the filler spout does not fit the water tank receiving tube. As a general observation, it doesn't seem that a secure fresh water receptacle is available, but that the current flat style would be more secure from those who might find sport in depositing nefarious liquids in one's receptacle. Thank you in advance.

Replacing old style water tank fill receptacle with new style
In my experience, the folks at Scamp are knowledgeable about such things and very willing to help. I'm sure they've done this conversion and know what to watch out for.
I converted the pull out power cable fitting (mouse hole as some describe it) to a plug-in style. I spoke with them several times along the way.
I did previously call Scamp. The person I spoke with didn't think that the mounting holes would align, so I decided to pursue purchasing the replacement at another location. I thought it quite curious that I was told that Scamp had sold or otherwise liquidated their supply of the original style receptacles. Knowing how many vintage Scamps are still on the road, I thought they would have anticipated a demand for replacements. Regardless, there is a similar style available out there. If there are alignment issues once I receive and install, I'll update and provide that information.
That is disappointing. When I did the conversion to a plug-in power socket, they had conversion rings to cover the larger mousehole and provide a smaller opening for the new receptacle. As you say, with so many old Scamps still on the road, it seems having some sort of conversion piece makes so much sense.
Good luck.
