I've started on the back to front, top to bottom makeover on our new to us 1997 Scamp 5th Wheel Deluxe. I've never take on a Scamp 5th Wheel so I'm eager to dig in. Probably, will have lots of questions for 5th Wheel owners as I go.

Starting the project by removing the rear dinette - table and rear bench seats to expose the flooring and mechanicals in the back.

Tore out the carpet to the kitchen to prep for the new Allure flooring and start cleaning the rat fur. Removed all the onboard water tank and pump, will replace the pump and replumb tank. I'm going to take this on in sections, starting with the back and when it is put back together, I'll move to the kitchen, then the upper bedroom and lastly the bath. The exterior I'm doing throughout. Already wire brushed and painted the rear bumper, and started replacing the snap caps (none were in existence).

So far, I have discovered one original assembly issue that I will be correcting. On the benches the oak trim piece that serves as the bed support is put on the bench with long deck screws which protrude quite a ways into the storage area under the benches. Not only does this not provide the best type of attachement for strength to support the bed, but someone could get their hand seriously injured while rooting around in the storage area. My screws are a bit rusty as well which would require an examination for the last tetanus booster.   I'll be redoing those with SS Bolts, Nuts, and large backing washers which will take care of all those issues.
