An egg that comes to you -- sweet

That's a great photo!

Just curious: Does the window over the stove crank out or is it fixed? (I know the newer crank outs usually are only the center part and wondering if they have changed that.)

Have fun with your new baby

Congrats! Looks nice and shinny!

Looks like the same window in the front shower on our 2005 Scamp.

Bardstown. Home of Steven Foster and Berea College?, or do I have the wrong "old Kentucky town?"

Thanks for the reply. That's excellent! On the older, square-cornered jalousie windows, like I have, the whole panel opens. Then it seemed like when they went to the radius-cornered ones, only a small panel in the middle would open -- so you had only 33% of the ventilation. I'm happy to see that new style; radiused corners and the entire pane opening is a great combination!

Here's what the old-style kitchen window looks like; made by Hehr:

And this is what I had been seeing, in the past, for the radius style jalousies. As you can see, only the middle 1/3 opens:

I love being able to keep them open all the time - never have to think "Is it going to rain?" (Of course I close them when trailering.)

Again, congrats!

It's far from new from Scamp. My 1988 has a bathroom window that is exactly as described..... hinged from the top and radius cornered and black framed. The only different between the bathroom window and those that order a small window for the kitchen is the frosted glass. Now the kitchen window I have, because it's larger, is a slider.

Thanks, Donna; good to know.

The Scamp window I showed with the 1/3-opening radiused stove window was a 1990, IIRC. But then I guess that is 20 years ago )To me, a 1990 still sounds like something new )

Funny but Scamp's website doesn't tend to show that side of the trailer - guess the door side is more "friendly."

It looks like the dinette-sized, radius-cornered jalousie windows are still only the 33% opening type. I wonder if that will change (maybe it is difficult to do for some reason).

bcomnes, Wonderful and thanks for sharing. Looks like you have a mud flap in that photo I have never seen a scamp with those before.

yep those are mudflaps - all I need now is a small pair of chrome reclining Vixens so I can park in a truckstop 8-)


overall build quality is impressive - only unpleasant surprise was the 250 pound tongue weight for a 1350 pound trailer - we fixed that to get within Forester tongue weight specs by judicious loading toward rear - that tongue weight is due to dual LP tanks and a heavier group 27 battery upgrade

we are very glad now that we left out the shower toilet option or it would have been even heavier at tomgue in addition to being very tight inside

Congratulations! It's so shiny and pretty!

Since I'm obsessed with trailer weights right now is the 1350 the actual dry weight? Did you weigh it?

bcomnes,
Is the trailer for sale?

This is a question you'll probably hear again.
