Scamp Updated Their Website!

[QUOTE=floyd;398185 One of these was shown and pitched to Scamp, who after some time, decided to start offering it as an aftermarket replacement choice. <cut>

You can now buy the "D" shaped closed cell gasket from Scamp upon request. I installed one for a friend as recently as two weeks ago.
The solid threshold gasket (3/4"X1") must still be obtained locally.[/QUOTE]

Floyd you must be a very special customer that they keep a secret stash of parts for in case you ask When I called there two months ago to ask about what other options they might have for the open cell gasket that was the only option I was given.

What I find sometimes is that if someone doesn't know, they just make something up rather than ask. It happens all the time to me. Someone says "Well, all you have to do is call them." and I call them and get "I'm sorry ma'am, I have no idea what you are talking about." By the third time I call as I can be persistent, "Oh, yes, we have had that available for a couple years now."

Of course I am very special, I'm glad you noticed!
However, I have never ordered or received a gasket from Scamp.
I have however installed gaskets sent from Scamp other owners, and have witnessed other trailer owners who got theirs from Scamp.
As I said earlier, the open cell is still the only gasket installed on new trailers... hence the only option given.

I'm sure the answer is obvious to most but I would guess, the hanging hardware and just getting comfortable in its space?

I assume that what was meant was "cure chemically", but I didn't make the claim.
I do know that concrete is only 90% cured after seven days.(the other 10% takes a hundred years)
I thought fiberglass cured in a few hours, but I defer to Scamp's expertise in the matter, also consider that fiberglass does outgas for a while after being formed.

I dunno about that. Every time I work with fiberglass it takes weeks for the smell to go away.

Then would it be safe to assume that you concur with Scamp's conclusion on the application of closed cell gaskets?

Of course "a while" could easily be construed as "weeks".

Scamp redesign looks to be an improvement.
