I installed mine today. It was shipped FedEx from Florida and it arrived exactly one week after I ordered it. I had a 2" foot in the garage which fits perfectly.

Thanks Joe - I was confused by the pinout listed in the current Scamp Users' Manual. It still shows the old heavy duty (J560) connector, although my 2012 Scamp has the standard RV 7-pin connector....
