I inherited a 1973 13 ft scamp that has a good number of problems and there is no manual. I contacted the factory and they have nothing. My guess is that the manual for the seventies models is pretty much the same. Does anyone have any ideas or even willing to copy an existing one and I would buy a copy from you.

Manual for 1973 scamp
Not sure what you're needing the manual for, but you'd probably be sorely disappointed in the manual if someone can dig one up. Better to just ask your questions here and tap into a wealth of experienced Scampers. I may have a manual around here somewhere for a later model and if I find it I'll post it, but can't recall personally ever referring to a Scamp manual for anything.

The current owners manual from the Scamp website. http://www.scamptrailers.com/ask-scamp/owners-manuals.html The older Scamps had a little manual on the basics of the trailer and the mfg. booklets on any appliances. The biggest thing was the wiring diagram for the trailer was included in the factory booklet. The documents section of Fiberglass RV should have copies of the older Scamp manuals. The older wiring was very basic but the wiring code still holds true today. 12 v, white is ground, black is hot and the running lights use the Bargman wiring code.

The problem I found on the wiring diagrams on earlier model Scamps is previous owners. Generally, there weren't a ton of options on early Scamps and by the time they get to you, who knows what's been added or jerry-rigged by the various owners. The nice thing is, that the wiring in early Scamps especially 13's is pretty visible and simple to trace with some basic electrical tools/meters. First thing I did with my 81 13 was to put it into zones and install wiring blocks in each zone with addl fuses. Made for simple tracking of electrical issues if any arose later.

I knew I had a manual for 1996 Scamp 13-16 around here. We now have it available on our new Scamp Trailer Manuals page in the Resources section. It appears that Scamp used this same manual for both the 13-16 and the Scamp 19 for many years. I have a 1997 Scamp 19 Owners Manual and it is the exact same one we now have posted except they put a picture of the 19 on the cover. Trailer layouts in the manual only show 13 and 16 and wiring diagram is the same as the other one. No wonder I never referred to these manuals over the years.
I'll track down some more, and if anybody has any years available and can scan it into pdf or similar send them over to us info@scampowners.com to add in the Manuals page.
