The attached pictures show how we store the gravel shield while camping. Using a piece of light line tied to the two snaps the shield rests on the LPG hoses and the stink pipe holder with the line hooked onto the two latches on the front of the trailer. The line (or Rope?) needs to be small enough to fit between the latch and the trailer body. We have had the gravel shield hanging there during some fairly strong winds and it didn't move. We are using better quality snaps than those supplied by Scamp
Im new to Scamp but have fallowed them for years picture did not show up but am guessing you have it propped up like a canopy. Do most people take them off at camp site and store them under camper ? over all how do you like your camper we will be pick your up in March 2017 from Backus, MN.
Have Scamp will travel !
Although I leave it closed a lot of the time and a little more modification would be required if very windy conditions are expected.
Gordon2, I like your idea too. Most of the time we want as much light in that window as possible but there have been some hot sunny days where we could have used some shade on that front window. Thanks
Sometimes it is nice to have an awning, (sun shield) on the front window. The attached pictures show what I have come up with to rig the gravel shield for shade. I used all stainless steel hardware and the cost was less than $15.00.
What is the function of the rope that's shown across the top of the gravel shield on your "Top end" photo? Beautiful idea, by the way - I'm totally doing this.
A Quality Solution.
The Stainless Steel hardware will last a lifetime.
As Always,
Happy Scamping !!!
On my original posting of my gravel shield I included three pictures Only one is there now! The missing pictures show what that rope is for. I'll try to repost the missing pictures.
One more question. How did you get the eyelet screw through the eye of the swivel clip?
Bend open the the eye of the eyebolt just enough to get the snap in then bend it closed. Clamp the eyebolt in a vise (with wood to protect the eyebolt) then pry the eyebolt open with a screwdriver. Once the snap is in place in the eyebolt put the eyebolt in the vise in a way that by tightening the vise the eyebolt will be closed.
Ha! What I would've tried first with anything but stainless steel. I may have to get some Muscle in here, to help pry open a stainless eye bolt! ;) Unless, like Archimedes, I just get a really long lever and a place to stand. I would've tried a channel lock for closing it, but the vise idea sounds far more effective. Thanks!
