Exterior Light Wiring

Forums: 

Just wondering if anyone knows how the wiring is run to the exterior light by the entry door?  Is it from the ceiling down to the fixture or run up from the floor?  I want To add a folding deck cleat to the outside of my Scamp 13 for two reasons - to bungee the door during travel after hearing about door issues and to use it to tether my dog' leash while at the camp ground.  Need to drill the lower half of the camper for the mounting bolts in the vicinity below the exterior light.  Don't want to run the risk if drilling into the wires.

 

Thanks

Trailer frame repair

Forums: 

I have a much beloved 1981 13' Scamp trailer.  I had a recent tragedy that I really need some help and guidance on.  The trailer frame broke.  The break is on the main exterior frame portion, a few feet behind where the fiberglass front meets the frame.  About a year ago, there was a small crack on the opposite site, just below the door, and I had that welded firm and that held.  This is a clean break as you can see in the photos.

 

Winter Battery

Forums: 

This is our first winter with the Scamp.  I took the group 27 battery off and am storing it in the unheated garage (Indianapoiis, Indiana).  I have it off the concrete floor on a block of wood.

I have a trickle charger I use for my motorcycle.  Is it best to periodically charge up the Scamp battery or is it better to just leave it alone and charge it in Spring?
