Fuses, water filter, and other supplies

[Yellowjacket]

I just ordered a brand new Scamp 13' with toilet and shower. I am looking forward to taking delivery in March. I want to put together a small kit of spares/supplies I might need. So, I need to know what kind of fuses, water filters, etc. I would want in my tool box. Any suggestions would be appreciated as i am new to RV ing. I recently retired from 40+ years as an electronics field engineer, so a volt meter, wiring tools are already in the box. Need to know what kind of fuses it takes.

5, 10, 15 and 20 ATC (reg size)... maybe a 30 at the battery. YMMV
The one amp is for a gas alarm I added.. not from Scamp.

This water filter is pretty ubiquitous at campgrounds as is the white lead-free drinking water hose.

A deep socket to get the nuts off for the spare tire. Low profile jack and some 2x4s and 4x4s. (A TPMS also?)

A 25-50 foot extension cord and 15M to 30F adapter.

Thats a start.

The battery has an inline fuse.

I suggest that you use 10-ft fresh water hoses not the 25-ft one.10-ft is easier to handle than 25-ft. Most Hook-ups at RV park are with 10-ft. I keep 2 additional 10-fter in my Scamp go box if needed. The factory provided sewer hose is trash. I purchased a Rino hose and have been very happy with it. A fresh water pressure value is a must as many RV parks water pressure is very high and you don't want to blow your water line.


You can change out your 13-in OEM tires for 14-in ones when you get your Scamp home. I did it and trailer tow better. I found Discount Tire is a good place to shop. Tires are Goodyear Endurance ST205 / 75 R14


Good luck and happy Scamping
