Hi from Australia 👋🏼 I have an Australian made fibreglass caravan with no screen door. I see you have a bifold screen door on your Scamp, did you buy that or make it yourself? I am very interested in that. I wish you’d mentioned it in your video 😅 cheers
Great job!! Where can I buy the little tabs that you made for attaching bottom of blinds. I think you said they were out of stock at the time of video. THANKS for all the good videos.
@Gab It looks like a decently good portable AC. I like eco flow products in general. It could definitely cool down a scamp. The issues with scamps is they aren’t insulated really well so you would need to constantly run the unit to keep things cool on a hot day. If you have access to shore power this wouldn’t be a problem. You’d also want to think about where you would set it up. I believe It needs to have the large intake and vent hoses going to the exterior of the scamp. Could get a little crowded.
Shaun, you did a very good job with this Scamp! It was fun to watch your videos! Especially since I am the new owner of this Scamp! I have used it once and it was great! We have many trips scheduled the rest of this summer! Did you remove one of the batteries? I noticed in the a previous video you had 2 100Amh batteries, did you remove one? Maybe I missed a video :) Thanks!
Hey @tjhagan1350 ! Did I understand that correctly that you purchased this exact scamp? One of the batteries had an issue after making the older video so I had to get rid of one of the batteries before putting it up for sale. I also felt the area was a bit tighter than I would have liked for the two battery setup. If you’re interested in adding a battery, I’d be happy to provide some input. Thanks!
Hey @@shaunwilkens, Thanks for the reply! Yes, your understanding is correct. I haven't had the opportunity yet to get off grid enough to know if another battery is needed. We will have a big test the 2nd week of August as my wife and I will be out about a week. We can't wait. Have you used the rear hitch on the Scamp? If so, did it cause swaying? I bought a cargo carrier and I am hoping that it will not be too much weight. If I have any issues, I will get back with you.
Found a feature on-line about airstream no longer using wood for flooring. Look for: Wood banished from Airstream Floors. Transcore is a composite material now being used in one piece. Subscribed.
I though about it but I decided to clean the walls instead with Woolite. If I would have removed the carpet, I would have needed to buy new material to cover the walls with and it didn’t seem to be worth the work.
You did a very very good job. Love your videos man, keep them coming. I dont know why but I always really like your videos. I guess because you just are so real.
Thanks @Ethan DeGroot ! I got the bamboo from a local lumber company. You can find it online too but I imagine the shipping costs would make it much more expensive. Contact local lumber companies and ask if they have carbonized bamboo plywood. I used one 1/2” 4’x8’ sheet.
Aww! You did so much work! These were fun to find and watch! Thank you Shaun for our beautiful Scamp! We are already putting vacation time on the books! First trip will be the coast in the winter!! Xo, Laurie & Rhae
Thanks for showing all the upgrades you've been working on! We've got a 2001 Scamp and are looking at doing a lot of these same upgrades. Psyched to see what other changes you've made!
👍👌❤️🇨🇦
Did you add the skylight with shade?

Scamp made the screen door in this one.

Thanks! You should be able to call scamp directly and ask them to sell them to you. It’s not on the website as far as I know.
Shaun, what do you think about the EcoFlow Wave A/C battery unit do you think it could cool of a Scamp. Im thinking desert travel.

Would there be a way to hinge the smaller piece to the table so you could open it and lock it for 4 people? :)
Yeah, I bet that would work!
Did you recover the cushions yourself? How was that experience?
I purchased new covers from scamp directly. It was pretty easy and look much better than the old ones.
I hate my curtains, thx! How much light comes in those blinds at night?
They aren’t blockout curtains but that do a good job. If you were right under a street light it would be fairly bright

Do you (1:29 ) show how you braced pantry shelves?
I didn’t show it. The previous owner had screwed in from the outside of the cabinet into support strips of wood that the shelves rest on.
Where did you get the bamboo wood for the cabinet doors?
@Darrell Rackley I got it from a local lumbar distributor. I would recommend going to Plyboo.com and finding a dealer in your area.
So sad to see an OSB floor in a fiberglass shell.
Yeah, it’s a bummer. Guess they were trying to save costs

Hi- looks great! Curious if you’ve considered removing the carpet from the walls? If so, how will you do it, or if not, why not? Thanks!

Thank you! It means a lot that you say that
Love your videos Shaun, especially the Scamp series! Any chance you have a link for the bamboo plywood?

😅im very interested on solar and electrical for the scamp. Something clean not too crazy. Ill wait to see you ideas. Thanks for shearing.
I’m happy with my electrical setup! I’ll try to get the video out soon!
Aww! You did so much work! These were fun to find and watch! Thank you Shaun for our beautiful Scamp! We are already putting vacation time on the books! First trip will be the coast in the winter!! Xo, Laurie & Rhae
Awesome! Glad to hear it. Beverly beach was one of our first trips in the Scamp :)
Thanks for showing all the upgrades you've been working on! We've got a 2001 Scamp and are looking at doing a lot of these same upgrades. Psyched to see what other changes you've made!
Thanks! It’s been really fun giving this little trailer some new life.
Nice job! I am presently struggling with what to do about the old curtains in mine also. That’s an idea to consider!
I’m very happy with them!
Wow, major face lift! this channel is the Nip/Tuck of camper life
Haha
Well done, looks great! Thinking about adding solar panels to my scamp, any experience with it?
Liar
@@shaunwilkens 🤥
I think by your scamp.. you mean a camping tent + imagination + pyslicobin mushrooms
Looking so nice!! Well done, Shaun!!
