I'm still working on revamping my 1977
Scamp 13. I've decided to remove the kitchen and heater and build a dry bathroom in that spot instead. This way I can keep room to sleep for 3 people, and we value a toilet way more than a kitchen. The
fridge and eventually portable AC will go in the closet next to the entrance door. I'm moving the front upper cabinets to the rear. They will be epoxied in place, as I want the least amount of holes in the shell as possible.
I've also removed almost all rivets,and closed the holes using epoxy and filler. The only rivets left are the closet ones because the closet provides structural support to the side/door, and those I covered in epoxy from the outside. There was also a leak at the belly band, so I took that off, and filled in the 3/8" between the top and bottom shell with Loctite marine sealant. Before I replace the belly band I will add more marine sealant on top of the ridge, so that it will never leak again.
Anyway, that brings me to the last source of
leaks: the
windows. I'm keeping the original
jalousie windows on the sides. There's a small rubber seal in between the metal and glass that's completely worn out and it shrunk. Does anyone know where I can buy this stuff? The same stuff is in the little window in the door.
Also, I took off the trim from the bottom all around the shell, and around the door entrance and door itself. Does anyone know the exact dimensions of this edge trim? Any cheap suppliers?
