Scamp Propane heater intermittent doesn’t heat issue

Have an issue with our propane heater turning on but not providing any heat, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.  Usually once it starts to it will continue too until led to do for a whole.  Our stove will always fire up.  We've had to at times fire up stove for couple minutes then propane heater will work correctly.  Any idea what's causing this and what can be done about it?

 

thank you!

Replacing Scamp 13 tires

Forums: 

I've searched the forum, but I haven't found the answer I need.  I need to replace my 2015 13ft tires.  They are the original tires.  We bought the trailer used 1 1/2 years ago.  It had barely been used.  We have not been able to use it as much as I'd like, too, either.  So there is a lot of tread left, but I know tires age out, and I want to replace them.  I just am not sure what I need.  I've read about China bombs, so I know I want quality tires, & will spend what is necessary to get them.  Do I get radials?  What is the difference be

Door window

Forums: 

I picked up a used 13' recently and on the way back the window on the door fell off on the way back from picking it up. I am not seeing that type/size on the Scamp parts site. Any suggestions on where to find one? I guess I could just get plexiglass and find a way to mount it.

 

You can see in my profile pick it is still on there when I made my first stop.

 

12v converter battery charger -- need replacement

Forums: 

The existing charger 12v converter that is part of the Scamp DC fuse panel and AC breaker system has failed.   This is in a 2005 Scamp16 layout #6.

 

I see some past discussion about using a WFCO Model WF-8735P Ultra III Power Converter as a replacement. 

On the Scamp Parts page they list a Progressive 45 Amp Converter Charger  which is very large and will require mounting behind the existing panel.

refrigerator works on 120V but not propane

Forums: 

Does anyone have any ideas why my refrigerator does not cool down when using propane. The flame lights and the chimney gets very hot, but even after several hours 6+ there is NO trace of cooling, even in the freezer compartment. The refrigerator works just fine on 120V. The scamp is perfectly level.  Any ideas?

I have a 1996 scamp with the smaller refrigerator.

 

 

 

Replacing 6.0 cu ft refrigerator in my 19 ft Scamp

Forums: 

Hi,

I am looking at Dometic refrigerator model DM2672 for my 19ft scamp. Here is a problem I am facing.  The refrigerator dimensions are too big for the Scamp's door width opening of 22 inches. Will removing the refrigerator doors will do the job?  I could not find any dimensions of the refrigerator without the doors.   I haven't bought the refrigerator yet so I cannot do any measurements forehead.

Any ideas? 

Thanks,

Bruce

19ft Scamp owner in UT
