I Did It Again...A Compact Jr.

[Larry&Carrie]

YUP-- Well, tommorrow we're taking off to pick up a Compact Jr..... I just can't resist--- it's getting like my affliction for cars. (But, since we're down to 20 cars, I think, what the heck) And, the Scamp is almost completely done. I've run out of things to do on it. This is the one I looked at last July, that I was afraid didn't have a title. I stopped Monday on the way home from Tacoma and inquired again. The old wheeler-dealer finally admitted it didn't have a title, so I low-balled him, and he took my offer. So the adventure begins. Larry

[Ed Harris]

Well.......
Congrats!
I have done it again,and again,and again myself and I am still having fun!

I can stop ANYTIME,really but I anot going to.

[Kent I]

Congratulations. I know that you have been thinking about this one for awhile. Good luck with all the fun with documentation.

Just got back with it and put it in the empty bay in the shop. Here's some photos... (even some wildlife we got with the deal...) Notice the fine patch on the screen area---- Brown tarp is one step above Blue tarp, by the way..... Larry

[Larry&Carrie]

And some more shots... Even has a propane light, but am missing the screw-in schnozzle. Inside is pretty damp, but not soaked---it was covered with snow 2-3 weeks ago. Story that was told to me is that it has sat there for 5 years, but the old boy changed his story each I talked with him. Larry

Nice Bronco!

[Steve Hilby]

That's a pretty impressive rear bumper. Probably outweighs the whole rest of the trailer...

Have fun fixing it up--post lots of photos!

Actually, it's quite light. It's that thin square tubing that you find on the back of stickies to hold the black water dump hose--- now why it was put on there I'll never know. Ended up pulling the fridge last nite, 'cause after I removed the vent stack, it was full of bird nest. I filled a garbage sack with nesting material, and still couldn't get at all the sticks, twigs, etc, that was crammed around the tubes and fins..... Have the cushions dripping on the floor of my shop-- gonna have to replace them.
Getting ready to head for the Court House to start the title saga now.... Larry

[Pete Dumbleton]

Well, at least it came with some food!

[Larry&Carrie]

And the saga continues..... Just about gutted-- gonna have to paint it inside and out- has been painted with interior house flat latex--- (BTW- it was one of those pukey green ones originally). Of course all the interior window wood is rotten, have some nice mahogany to replace that with. Made a new straight axle today - eliminated the 4" drop to raise it. Larry

[Larry&Carrie]

More pictures--- had to take a quick lesson on resizing..... Carrie looks like she is looking to the sky and hoping it will all go back together again..... Have faith my dear.... Larry

OH, also have paper on it now-- it hadn't been licensed in over 7 years, so DOL computer came back with "no record found" So it is registered in my name now and old owner has 3 years to claim it-- (if he exists)

[CindyL]

Are you keeping it or selling it when finished? Are you a camper collector or a fiber-flipper?

[Tom Trostel]

Looking good! Congrats on the title.

I dunno what I am--- right now it is just a challenge to fix and not let it rot away. It also looks like it will make a better hunting camp than our Scamp--gonna try it for that this fall. Hopefully, I will not turn into a collecter as I am already struck with that affliction in relation to cars (but we are down to 20, I think ) Larry

I can tell you which screw-in schnozzle supposedly fits that lamp, but since mine still pulsates when lit, I'm not entirely sure it is the right one.

Bobbie Mayer,

When was your regulator checked/replaced last?

We had the pulsating problem with our camp lights. We thought it was the nozzles or restricted lines. The propane tech came out to check the fixtures, lines and pressures and it turned out that the pressure regulator was actually causing the pulsing. 1 new regulator and the pulsing lights was gone.
