SOLD!

This is an 84 Scamp 16foot Layout 4. I scooped this up a few months ago as a project. At first it didn t seem like it needed much but all campers need a lot of love if they re not seeing regular use and maintenance as this one was. After a few weeks of dedicated effort we have just taken it camping here in Wisconsin on a short trip from home. It looks good and collected a lot of compliments. All the original Scamp fitted equipment works.

I took my time replacing all the fasteners for the body 3/16 alloy rivets with Scamp snap caps and stainless 1/4 acorn nuts visible inside , I then removed the front window and put on a new seal, installed new outer window seals on all windows, removed the back window to straighten old damage to the window frame prior owner backed it into something, flexing the frame and breaking the glass and put new custom cut tempered glass in. I installed a new roof vent lid, brand new Carlisle 13 tires and spare, sandblasted and painted original steel wheels and found chrome baby moon hubcaps for it, fixed bad damaged wiring at the tongue, put all new LED side running lights on and got original lenses for the now working rear original 110 150 lights. I installed a battery up front, fixed the kinked/cracked gas line, got the fridge working after chasing some electrical issues and got everything just right. The fridge works great at the halfway setting and will freeze your food solid at the highest setting I didn t bother running it on 12v or propane . I installed a new interior outlet on the interior cooktop side by the dinette with USB chargers built in. All the interior lights work on shore or battery power.

The original AC works just fine in fan or cooling settings. This Scamp was never equipped with a propane heater/furnace which is unusual from my experience. A small infrared electric heater will cook you out of a 16 model as we have experienced that! It also has an electric water heater which I ve not spent any time playing with but I m getting hot water from the new faucet so it may be a cool piece of working old equipment.

The fresh water tank has been removed and cleaned with a new strainer installed and the 12v water pump works as it should.

There is a gray water tank, no black water tank. The original toilet works good and has its own sewer valve if you intend to use it.

The original carpeting and awesome upholstery are actually in really good shape with no funky smells.

I used a high heat paint on the original cooktop as the old chrome/nickel surface was in poor condition. It held up well to a weekend of cooking breakfasts and dinners and all burners work great.

I built a new table out of edge glued pine as the old one had some water issues and was ugly. The new one is far lighter than the old one and supported two adults and two kids while laying on it.

The only issues this Scamp has at 38 years old are the following:

Typical flatness of white gelcoat. There are some scratches, spider cracking in the gelcoat in some spots and some rock chips. The Scamp decals have some marks and age visible. New green pine tree decals were added too where the old ones were gone . There are a few soft spots on the rear floor of the trailer from old water leakage, none of which has led to the shell sagging. I ve replaced floors in two previous Scamps both were far worse than what I m describing here.

The crappy seam tape that is seen inside is orange or absent and will be replaced before any sale occurs.

The axle has been previously replaced although I can t say exactly how old it is. It does have brakes but they re not currently tested as my tow vehicle is more than adequate in its towing capacity.

Overall this is a really good trailer as it is to go camping right now or add your own custom touches to.
