1092 16 Scamp Project and first trip (3 weeks)

On August 15, 2018, we brought home our new to us 16 Scamp.  Only the shower stall and driver side overhead cabinets were intact.  The rest had been removed or altered beyond redemption.

 

 

 

THe rear had none of the original interior left.

The front had a portable AC unit and a house hold two door refrigerator.

All 12 volt interior wiring had been removed and the trailer wired via a 6 breaker 120 v box.

 

I immediately began removing the altered contents and working to restore to utility.  Installed a 53" wide bed in rear with cabinetry based on Scamp photos and diagrams.  Janice made new rear bed cushions and we loaded up for our first trip.

First trip was over 3 weeks from Palm Bay , FL, to the Dayton, OH, area for family and gatherings.  Most at a campground with power and showers..

Five days in the wild along the Little Miami River with temps just above freezing.  Ran to Wal-Mart (one of our favorite overnight stops) and got a 1500 watt heater which ran off of our new Predator (Harbor Freight) generator.  Cooking on electric hot plate and griddle with a propane single burner as backup.

Lots of learning about how to go about refitting the Scamp for us and our doggies. 

First night was at the GA welcome center on NB I-75:  Pics and More to Follow.
