Hi all,

I just recently bought an '83 13ft Scamp. All things considered it appears to be in decent shape, the fiberglass looks good, frame just has some surface rust, and most of the subfloor is strong. I'm going to have to replace the axel, potentially the door as it is sagging and there's a gap/opening down at the bottom left when it's 'closed'. I'm also going to have to replace the subfloor under the dinette. 

My hope in posting on here is to connect with folks who have came across similar things, and might be able to provide some tips/guidance in how to best approach some of these repairs. Something I am most uncertain about is how to prevent further damage to the camper after the repairs (ie - how to identify subtle leaks, etc) as well as how to best take care of it during the months it is not in use. 

If you have any tips, suggestions, or wisdom to impart upon a young guy who just got his first camper, I'd love to hear it. 

Thanks,

Ethan
