Shower water leaking under black water tank

Forums: 

Hello Scampers, just seeing if anyone else has encountered this problem. Last weekend when we were camping my wife was showering in our 13' Scamp with the shower/toilet combo. I noticed water was dripping underneath the Scamp.  Upon closer inspection I could see the water was escaping the Scamp right next to the black water drain underneath the trailer. I called the Scamp service line and they said there is a wax ring under the black water tank to keep the water from escaping the Scamp.

Time for tires?

Forums: 

My 13' is four years old. The tires are 41/2. I've put about 12,000 miles on them. The pictures show it they look. I'm new to trailers and to thinking about time as a determinant of when to replace. It's not that expensive to put on new ones and I want to be safe. 

Is it time?

sorry. How do I rotate the images?
 

Floor/wheel well Replacement

Forums: 

After a dramatic blowout in Texas, my collection of deferred floor maintenance is now going to be necessary.  The belted radial tore the driver-side wheel well out and also managed to disconnect most of the wires from the back of my new inverter (which I installed this summer).  I replaced the rear floor 4 years ago, so I still have the west systems stuff, I'll probably use marine-grade plywood with waterproofing.  Here's what I'm looking for help with:

New Electrical Run - Neutral Tie In

Forums: 

Hi foks. I'm running a new line to two USB ports.  Tying both positives together with a wago and into an unused fuse spot on the back of the fuse panel.  Tied both negatives together with a wago, but looking for advice on where to tie it in.  There's not a common negative bar on my panel, but there's a ground bar on it with a single copper wire plugged in to one of about a dozen spots (the others are empty).  Should I tie into one of those spots on the ground bar on the back of the panel?

First Time Winterizing

Forums: 

Hey,

So, it's my first time winterizing an RV and I'm the only Scamp guy I know, which means I'm relying heavily on you fine folks to help me with the dumb questions. 
 

I trust this will be an easy process... next year, but for now, on with the questions! 
 

1) At first I could figure out how to drain the hot water heater tank. Finally, I figured it out. Everything says it should be a 7/8, plastic plug, but mine was a metal 1-1/8" plug. Is that normal or did someone change something before I owned it? It's a 2022 Scamp 16.
