Hello
scamp community!
I just drove over 800 miles by myself yesterday to purchase my first
scamp. I kind of feel that I got ripped off though
I purchased a 13ft 1977
scamp from Knoxville,TN. I tried to do as much research before hand as possible on these but being a girl who doesn't know alot about campers I didn't really know to look for. When I got there the seller was very nice and showed me around the camper and how it worked. It looked like he did alot of the work himself but stopped working on it a few years ago. It looked like it had been sitting in his driveway for a while. The front door would not close properly and the front door window was completely cracked and held together with ducktape! I looked over the camper inside and out the best that I could. I tried to overlook the little flaws and since i had already drove 415 miles one way I decided to go head with the purchase. I paid $4000 for this guy! is this a reasonable price for 1977 13ft scamp that is in working condition but needs some work? I then got back in my car and drove it straight back home another 415 mile! Lets just say i was exhausted when i got home last-night! When I got home we looked it over and I realized i don't have the bunkbed poles to hold up the bunks,(small issue) also the side wall left of the door is completely detached from the floor which will need to be repaired somehow (bigger issue!) Not to mention the door window and possibly the door needs to be replaced. Not sure how great the floor is holding up, the gentleman that
sold it to me said he replaced with with plywood like material about 8 years ago. I know I bought an older model and should be prepared for stuff like this but did I pay too much? any help with repairs, advice, and where i could find some bunk bed poles, possibly and new burner stove and
refrigerator would be greatly appreciated! With that said, my boyfriend and I are looking forward to being apart of the Scamp Owner community!
Best Regards
