I am looking at Scamps online and it looks like there is carpet on the ceiling of the bathroom. Has anyone had any mold issues? Can you purchase Scamps carpet on ceiling free?

Carpet on bathroom ceiling
We don't have a bath in our Scamp, but we were very careful about moisture in our older motor home, which had "carpet" on the ceiling and on the floor. The bathroom was quite small. We always ran the exhaust fan in the bath during a shower and for about an hour afterwards, and had either the a/c going or the windows open. We never had any problem. I am not sure of all the options available for the Scamp baths, but a ceiling exhaust fan and a crank out window in the bath would make a huge difference. I don't think anyone is particularly fond of the rat fur, but it is good insulation.

Scamp does not use carpet, but rather a marine headliner. This material does not hold moisture, resists staining and mold. One can vacuum it if dusty, or wash it down as necessary. Ours was 25 years old and still looked like new when we sold it.
That is not carpet. It is a product used in the marine industry. It is actually very effective at resisting mold.
As in any closed trailer, you need to worry more about mold on your possessions if you do not ventilate your trailer properly.
