Friends recently brought home a new 13' without the pinstripes on the cabinets. Are the pinstripes no longer standard? If so can you still get them?

Great story

What a refreshing story. I was expecting to read the horrors of a ruined camping trip due to the drunken antics of crazed college kids. Maybe the rowdies chose the mexican beaches instead of the...

No need to attach

The unit is so small it fits between the back wall and the dinette base at the floor curvature. When we are camping we slide it inside the dinette. I only monitor it during storage when it is slid...

At no cost to me the folks at Scamp are shipping enough rat fur to cover the inside of the closet. They are not allowed to ship the adhesive but confirmed they use the 3M spray product Steve...

Alan I really don't know what it is but when I called Scamp I referred to it as gelcoat and they didn't correct me. I suppose if it were an epoxy paint it could also have problems curing if mixed...

Colleen,
I'll give that a try. If press and seal will stick I'll just leave it in place. I tried the heater suggestion keeping the inside of the closet at 110F all day, let it cool down overnight...

Gordon,
You can't tell there's a problem when you inspect it. The surface feels dry to the touch and doesn't rub off. In my case if we stuff sleeping bags or folding chairs in the closet and leave...

Thanks for the additional helpful information. I will try the radiant heater under careful observation. That would be an easy fix if it works and shouldn't make the problem worse...

Jacqueline,
We skipped the awning, A/C and bath but sprung for the propane appliances. It all depends on how you intend to use your Scamp. Extra outlets are low cost options as is the bike rack...

TJ we share a similar vision. A friend has a very cool Burro painted silver. I think a white '63 or earlier Falcon wagon with a small V8 would be the perfect tow vehicle for it. The lines of the...

I bought a new Roll-n-Lock in 1997 for my Ford F150 and both are still working great. Its made from very sturdy powder coated aluminum. When your cargo is too tall to be covered the top easily slides...
