When I was a younger Man my usual mode of operation was to use things until they broke, than fix or discard the item. Now I am an old Man I find myself 'fixing' things before they break, you know stop the bull before he gets in the china shop. We are heading to Utah from MN with our 1999 16ft
Scamp, today. My bearings and
brakes are 20 years old. We live 45 minutes from Backus so I called Jared (good guy) to schedule some service. Check
brakes, new bearings, and after reading a few stories on this forum I also wanted a brake and blinker bar attached to the rear. Jared called and said a new
axle would run $455.00 plus installation. Not only do I feel the chances of issues are reduced the
Scamp rides about 2" higher than before! Another tip is when I make a run to the
Scamp motherland for service I pick up 2 dozen Tim Horton doughnuts. These new axles are beefier, and I really like the new
light bar. People will not be as distracted checking out my bumper stickers on my rear window! I will be gone for 17 days and may not be able to answer any questions.
