which brake kit to buy?

Forums: 

Wife to retire this June from 30+ year teaching career, and we head west for long-awaited Utah trip. I've maintained the bearings and done brake check and adjustment every 10k miles as recommended. I'm thinking I might need to replace the brake components at some point along the way on this trip, but I do not know what exactly to buy, or exactly what specs to consider. Wrote to Scamp and got a friendly, prompt, but tangential response.

We have a 2017 16' Scamp with - of course - electric brakes. Will this set from etrailer be correct as a replacement when the need arises?

Fresh water backfill when on city / broken pump?

Forums: 

Hi - recently went for our first outing this season, and when connected to city water, our freshwater tank filled up and overflowed.  My reading has led me to the conclusion that a check valve on our water pump has failed, and we might need a new pump.  The pump, btw, works when we disconnected city water.

Any wisdom, please?

1970 13' Scamp Broken frame

Forums: 

Hello 

I have had my 13' scamp trailer from the 70s for about two years now and and it looks like the frame on both sides near the axel is cracked and has some serious area loss.  I got a new axel about a year ago while I was on my roadtrip but wasnt aware of any frame issue. 

looking at the back of the scamp the left side (drivers side) is significantly lower than the right.   The left wheel is very close to rubbing on the fiberglass and this area also has some cracks in the fiber glass.
