My dad is retired from Scamp. He started in 1973 making the shells in the factory up in Backus, MN. Your renovation made his day. Truly one of the nicest ones we’ve seen. You’ve got a real gem there. Enjoy!
WOW, I am truly amazed at what you've done with such a tiny space... The sliding bathroom door and a real closet! !!! Someone has a designer touch as well, you have INSPIRED me...
. This is absolutely the best renovation of a small camper that I have ever seen it is just beautiful and the utilization of space is just fantastic congratulations you've done the best job I've ever seen
I am obsessed with tiny trailers. I have watched every make over video and saved hundreds of pics on my pinterest page and THIS one is my FAVORITE inspiration trailer. LOVE IT!!
I have been wanting to buy a scamp but haven't liked the way they have been designed on the inside. Now I have seen a design I like. This is the best designed Scamp for my preference.
Hey I'm glad you were able to find the video! We couldn't find a premed Scamp with this design either so decided to go ahead and do it ourselves haha, maybe that's your best plan of action!
So cute! Just paint the wood around the fan, it will blend in. No stove, only thing missing! The bed slide is pretty cool. Great job kids! Happy camping.
@Chris Burrow This is quite literally THE BEST designed and looking 13' Scamp renovation that I have come across so far. The decision to keep the bathroom in the camper -- was extremely-wise -- and -- the design-conversion of the table-bed into that of an Ikea-like sectional-styled sleeper -- was really nothing short of brilliant. Also -- I just love the use of the light color theme and of the curtains for reasons of both decor and practicality. You two did a fabulous job. Kudos to you both. Subscribed and will also -- like, share and recommend. .
Love the bathroom idea! I just bought an abandoned late 1970s Scamp for $300 that needs a full renovation. I think I would make a toilet / shower combo.
Did I miss the shower? Like how you have organised the space you have. Have to disagree on the toilet (see Slim Potatohead vids), and the no fridge. But you will road test the little Scamp and see how everything works. Did I miss the cooking setup? Good luck with your road trip plans
The frame for the roof fan does not have to look great, practicality and performance is much more important. Roof panels are totally ace, you did a great job on the design guys, well done, greetings from Scotland :))
Great work in just four months. I've been working for over two years on my 1977 Trillium..... I would have kept the original closet to the right of the door, as that provides structural strength for the door strike plate. Good work with the water too.
I really want to learn to do all this myself. All I can find are videos showing what wonderful things you did. And yours is the MOST beautiful. How did you learn how to install the water pump, for example? Or the grey and fresh water tanks? Is there a book or something? LOL I feel like there’s a secret society and I can’t find it.
WOW. Great creativity. Nice "diy" job too. I think Scampi and Armadillo Campers could benefit from your ideas, and build customizable campers similar to yours. I refer particularly, to the toilet and closet additions. Also, to each his own, but I would perfer a fridge ... solar could keep the batteries charged. And they make them the size of coolers too.
We looked at the fridge and electric, wasn't quite sure how much the fridge would pull and drain, so we decided to simply get a cooler. In retrospect three panels would easily handle the additional need from a fridge
I love your camper I've got one just like it and I love what you did to the inside of it what did you do to the walls for your walls if you wouldn't mind letting me know
Hey Bill! Thank you for the compliment! We used vinyl, cutting it into triangular pieces to shape and glue around the inside. After that, we caulked in the spaces between the vinyl, waited for it to dry, then painted!
Thank you for replying back to me I am was surprised to find out you live so close we live in the Ozarks Macks Creek Missouri would love to see your trailer if you ever want to come out to the country let me know I have a 2 acres here would love to have some of your advice on what to do with your with my trailer thank you
Very Well Done! Lots of Fun in the Future with this little house. Why id you not put your collection of grey water t the front of the trailer with the battery so you could store double the fresh water? Just wondering if it was a strategic placement for some reason so I know if I choose to reno a trailer.
Amazing work, wow!!! So light and airy. I recently picked up a 1977 13’ Scamp and need to replace all the old ensolite walls and ceilings. Its very shredded up currently. I saw below that you put up vinyl. Did you add additional insulation as a moisture barrier? Any tips and tricks on your process would be so appreciated. I’m trying to figure out best solutions to the bare fiberglass once I remove what’s there. Adhesive, insulation, the final “skin.” Thank you so much for any help and well done. So psyched for you :) David
We did add a thin layer of foam before the vinyl finish. As far as putting it up, cutting into triangles seemed to help us move throughout the cabin better!
So we looked into that, It would be pretty difficult, and if you did want to store additional shower water in the camper, plumbing would get drastically more complicated. As well, the water itself would be an additional weight.
I find it hard to focus, the cameras all over the place, nice scamp trailer though, the white gives it a fresh look, maker the trailer look bigger than it is. good job.
Hey thank you! So we went to Ace hardware for our tongue box I believe we got the largest they had and although it isn't a perfect fit we made it work by securing it with U bolts to the tongue!
Curious, some of the mods have taken out some cabinets and the vertical iron pieces. I heard removing these could create problems with integrity of the whole shell. Thoughts?
Any issues with frame support? I've seen some other folks mention that if you take out the original closet and dinette supports, you'll need to add some sort of support mechanism so the fiberglass frame remains structurally sound.
How much is the finished weight after the reno? What year is it? How did you get such a smooth interior ceiling? Did you fiberglass the interior and then repaint it? Seems like the ones I’ve seen recently have lots of ceiling stuff that you could hit your head on.
