I am very happy to say I'm the proud new owner of a 2005 Scamp 13' -- just got her Friday. Trailered her safely into town (20 miles or so) and got her into a temporary off-street, secure spot.
I have been looking for a Scamp 13' for some time now. While some are in quite good shape, others are less so. So for all you experienced 'Scampers' here are some questions about fixing up stuff:
1) What does a new set of cushions cost? Do you order them from the manufacturer? Do you order from a local upholstery shop? What materials are best?
2) Can you retro fit a heater? What brand? What does it cost? Or is it better to have a separate, free standing unit, like a catalytic unit?
12 year old dometic rm2193 suddenly quit working...won't run on ax,DC or propane. On road for three months, tech says thermo is bad, so is ac switch, stack gets hot on propane, but coils are cold...any thoughts?
New Scamp owner (2002 16ft) with a bad refrigerator. Current fridges is the rm2410 4 cuft model. Was wondering how difficult it is to replace and weather to downsize to the 1.9.cuft model. Consider myself to be quite handy and willing to try anything. Just got back from 1st trip of 2700 mi and no real problems. looking to make more improvements.
I'll post this initial work and cleanup on our new to us 96 Scamp 13 in the maintenance section, and then when I get to the mods I'll be adding I'll post those in the modifications section.
First, a good initial washing was done last weekend. This simple step revealed a whole different 13 Scamp that was hidden under years of AZ Brown storage dirt.
Is it OK to leave the camper plugged into the home 110 V for any extended periods of time? I know it will charge the battery but is it the same as a trickle charger?
How often should the wheel bearings be serviced? I have a 2003 Scamp 16 and the previous owner did not have any maintenance history. How easy is it to do?
