... well, maybe someday. What I did do was a simple mod in response to a sad story I read here recently, in which a new
Scamp Deluxe was lost to fire. The owner had a stored a metal bottle jack in the front closet. It came into contact with two exposed 12V
electrical connections and made a short circuit, sparky, then smoky. By the time he pulled over, it was on fire.
Checking my own new(er)
Scamp, I immediately found the problem. The new kill switch in the floor of the closet is connected to the 12v system just behind the cabinet wall. The two screw posts, positive and ground, are completely exposed.
My idea was to find some plastic of the proper circumference (8 1/2" inches), to be exact. I found it in the first place I looked, our "tupperware drawer," which is always overflowing with an excess of food storage tubs and their mismatching lids. Eureka, it's a fit! A Ziploc 8 oz container was the right diameter. I used a hacksaw to cut halfway through the open container wall, so it could fit over the wires. Once in place, I wrapped the base in clean white duct tape and called a good day's work. It feels quite sturdy now, like it won't come off easily.
Here's some photos of the process (sorry, not in proper order)-
