great job hard to beleave it is the same egg 
WOW, I wish I had your talent! Wow----------GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! 
I'm amazed by your ingenuity. Are your propane tanks in the storage box? Does the PVC screen hinge in the middle?
WOW!!!!!!!
I remember seeing this on eBay and thinking what a project for someone. You have done a wonderful job. So cute, cozy and creative. Love what you did with the cupboard doors and how you used the old ski. Also like the box in front and how the chairs fit right inside. Your laundry basket gave me an idea for our Burro.
I know what it took to bring this back to life. My dad bought an Amerigo in about the same shape as your Scamp. Piled high with bike parts and nasty trash, door busted all up, mold, dirt, grime and gross inside and out, leaks everywhere, and ugly camo type paint on the outside. At least his had all the windows, and he installed a bath with a shower in his. It took him more than a year working nights and weekend to bring his back to life. How long did this project take you? He did the same exact thing as you did for a screen door and it works great. You should be very proud of yourself, you did an excellent job.
Are you going to use the Scamp for camping, guest room, get away place or what?
You have great talent. Here's to a job well done.

Thanks for all your nice comments. I have actually only had this Scamp for one month today! BUT, my job gives me 3 days off a week and I have taken a couple of vacation days too and done nothing but work on this thing every minute that I am not working or sleeping! As it nears completion, (I figure about 2 more weeks) I keep thinking of other things to put on the list AND now my son wants his remodeled too (and I have lots of left over parts!) So I think this will be an ongoing project for at least a couple more months! I love it though and can't wait for our first trip in the 2 of them! Oh, and I did away with the propane. I am the only one using this Scamp, have a camp stove for outside and an electric 2 burner hot plate for inside, and the Scamp did not come with a tank anyway, so I decided I just didn't need it!

Wow.....you did do a lot of work! I can not imagine the time you spent on your scamp reno. We have also been doing scamp renovations, not as many as yourself but still time consuming. This is our first posting so when we actually figure out how to show some photos of our work we will post them also. Thanks for sharing, it is nice to see other peoples neat ideas.
Looks just wonderful! You put in a tremendous amount of work - and the effort sure paid off!

I am IMPRESSED!
Quote from Jaye "Oh, and I did away with the propane. I am the only one using this Scamp, have a camp stove for outside "
I am with you, Jaye. Most folks like to cook outside, and so having the stove so that it can be used inside, or outside, was the way I have done mine.
That way I had room for a storage box, similar to yours, on the tongue. It holds battery, hoses, boots, and all the messy things that you don't want cluttering up the inside.

Wow, what an accomplishment! It looks great!!
The slideshow is perfect for showing the progression from mess to success!

Jaye, you've done an amazing job on your trailer! You're my inspiration. I'm going to have to copy the awning idea, too.
The whole job is outstanding! We just purchased a 1978 Burro and have been using your ideas for inspiration on our restoration. A couple questions: How is the awning attached at the top to the trailer? Also, I believe you mentioned in another posting that you can shower inside. Do you hang a curtain when you use the shower pump? Stand in a plastic basin?
Thanks!
Thanks!
I have not done the inside shower yet- it is still in the thought stages...
as for the awning, I keep meaning to get some pics of the clamps I used as I don't know what they are called, but I haven't taken them yet
What I used are just little metal u shaped springy clamps that I got at the hardware store-I think they are meant to hold conduit or something, I have used them in the garage to hang rakes etc if that helps to identify them! Anyway, I put 3 of them on the roof and the PVC just snaps right into them. I can easily do it alone AND the awning stayed put through our last downpour and strong wind so I am happy with it! Here a a real crude drawing till I remember to take a photo!

Nice work....but what is the cover over the vent? it sort of looks like it's made of a screen material.

I think what you are seeing is just a container I tossed up there temporarily until I get everything sanded, sealed and painted as there are some leaks around the vent right now and we have had steady rain for weeks! Once the rain quits and I can get those things done, I am going to go around the vent with Eternabond (I think that that is what its called) and then the container wil be gone!

I love your screen door! Making one is on my list of things to do, but I really like the idea of using pvc for the frame of the screen door. Did you still use plywood for the D shaped pieces on the side (the ones that make it so the flat door will fit against the curved wall? I'm guessing that the screen is sewn in to the fabric, and the pvc goes inside the fabric? What diameter pvc did you use? Pvc is wonderful stuff :-)

Hi Daisy,
You are correct in all of your questions and it is 3/4 inch PVC. I love using PVC too- its cheap, easy to cut, and I have used it for tons of stuff it was never intended for!! The only hard part of making this door was getting the dimensions right- so don't glue any PVC together until you have everything else done!!!

Very, Very Nice. You've really decorated your trailers. Anyone who steps inside will be wanting you to decorate their trailer. Thank you for sharing your photos.
I'm SO impressed - what a great job!
Will you post total cost of renovation once completed? It would be interesting to get a ballpark (well, you can't put a price on 18,000 hours of sweat equity . . . . but the hard costs would still be interesting).

Hi Anne,
I have not kept track of the $ (wish I had) but seriously if I had to guess, I would only put it at maybe $300. Most of the stuff I used was recycled from other projects and things I had lying around the house! I am notorious for checking the dollar fabric table at WalMart and buying anything I think I MIGHT need some day, so most of the fabric I used is from there! I also recycled all of the foam- it was originally my sons furniture from his younger years (those flip over foam chairs and so forth) so that was a HUGE savings. The sink and all of the cabinet doors,plus the drawers are salvaged from the trash of someones kitchen remodel. (it is actually a cool story cause I drove by the house I grew up in which is a couple of hundred miles away from where I live now, they were remodeling the kitchen and had all of that stuff at the curb, so I asked if I could have it, they said yes and I loaded as much as I could fit in the trunk and saved it for SOMETHING SOMEDAY!)
Pretty much all of the money I have spent has been on things like rivets, screws, caulk and construction adhesive! BUT... I still have to come up with the funds for new tires, wheel bearings and getting the windows put in....
BTW... this project has really helped me get the garage cleaned out!
Jaye you did a fantastic job with your Scamp. I found this site tonight looking for information on Bolers. I just recently (3 weeks ago) bought a 78 Boler (my very first trailer) and its given me some great ideas for mine. Thank you for the inspirations.

Hi Jaye!
Was looking for your Scamp pictures to see if there was anything new. But when I go to your website (by link) I can't find anything related to Scamp - I don't even see a "Scamp trailer on the right side" to click on! Is it just me, or is your site under construction?
