- I picked my new Scamp up in April of 2017 in Backus ,Mn. I have logged over 40,000 miles on her. Have lived out of her a year. Done alot of changes to make her more as my home. Truely happy with my Scamp once all the bugs were worked out. I travel the USA and Canada with two small Yorkies. Amber and Little Man!
Love how you made Li’l Janey yours. Very practical and nice customizations. Thank you for sharing with us. :D
Thanks....its home!
Man, what a great tour.
Very thorough and informative.
You have tricked out your Scamp very well.
We had a ‘79 Scamp 13’ from May 2011 until January 2014. We took that thing everywhere, and got a lot of enjoyment out of her.
I am amazed at the design and engineering of the Scamps. It’s really impressive how much they have packed into such a small, portable package.
Happy Trails
I absolutely love the countertop the decor and everything about the tour. Wished I had one.❤️
I like having the open space....Thanks!!
Sir, I thank you for this informative video. My goal is to live out of an RV when I retire and just travel. So I'm soaking up as much information and ideas as possible. I love your scamp because it's simple and country elegant. I loved your ideas! They absolutely work! I love it. My respect!
Thanks....I enjoy the input I get!
Love the idea of a 50's looking camper but being much lighter she must tow amazingly.
My late husband and I traveled all over the united States in our Scamp and had some great times.
Cool....they are cool to Travel in! Thanks for watching....enjoy!
What means late husbad??
@@cheapchicken5846 He died.
You did a great job upgrading it with your own little touches. I love the color of the cabinets. It's overall nice bright and roomier. I'm hoping to get a scamp custom made.... Wish me luck 😆
You'll get it.......I just made mine a one shot deal. Then changed what I wanted to.
You did a great job, that Scamp is a beauty. Really thorough explaining everything down to what you pull it with.
Great little camper. Very pretty and the work you have done is great.
Thanks....its home for the road!
Would love to have one of these. I think Ill start saving now. Im 55 And dont want to be stuck in any one place.
What more do you need?
you did a great job of fixing up the inside, it looks really nice and lots of room, all a person needs.
Hi!
Nice to see a "smaller" channel with good audio and editing of the videos. Excellent video. Thank you!
We picked our 13 foot scamp in June 2017 at the factory. It was quite a trip from Ontario. We have the one with the bathroom though we only use it at night and on super rainy days. The first thing I did was to make new curtains for it-red with white polka dots. We have traveled all over eastern Canada and several places in Ontario in "Scampie" and we just love it! Our two little terriers love it too and enjoy sleeping under our bed. The shelves in the closet look great-must show that to my husband :). Our closet door ripped off on a trip we did last month. We had been on much rougher roads in previous trips so I'm not sure why it happened-anyhow it is fixed now and won't come off again.
Thanks for watching and comment. I put Luann backing on my cabinets. Took all the doors down ( when I painted them ) Glued some Luann backing where the hinges would go....used claps to hold in place til the glue tried. Then I found a longer copper screw on Azozon that matched the old screws. I did all the cabinet doors.!!
Absolutely Beautiful!!! Great use of space. Just wonderful!!!!
Thanks!😄
I like how made the counter top , you can put legs on it and put it outside for a table
That's a good idea....never came up with that before....good idea.Thanks!
If less is more....you've got it going on.
Thank light to keep the weight down!
Awesome personal touches. I especially liked the cover for the sink & stove, Great idea.
These would be very popular in New Zealand. (My home.) Who wouldn't want one?!
New Zealand.......very pretty. Worked alot there back in the 90's. We worked in a papermill down in Rotorua. The people were so laid back and friendly in New Zealand........loved it!!!
Beautiful interior, so cosy. My only issue would be having no toilet. I would rather a small shower/toilet instead of the bunk beds tbh x
Thanks.....I'll didn't get a bathroom cuz I wanted the 2 ft of living space it would take up. I'm in the bathroom and out.....less then 5 minutes a day why give up all that room in a 13 ft home!
@@myscamptraveltraileradvent1230 5 min?
@@myscamptraveltraileradvent1230 I would get it without the bathroom too.
They have small composting toilets for that and they make pop up shower stations that fold up into the size of a larger envelope to store.

Love the looks of your scamp. Great job on making it cozy and warm
Thanks....still have a few to do!!
I think it's great!!! Perfect size for 1 or 2 people. May all your travels be blessed
Thank You .....thanks for watching enjoy.....I'll take that blessing!!
I really like all your updates--great ideas, especially the cover for the counter top!
Love that you replaced Scamp with Janey. I'm thinking of buying one and hitting the road.
Yeap......I found out later that I could have ordered it without lettering!! Just "TO" MUCH RED for Me!! Bob Seger song!!
I like your inventions. I agree about dual propane and the guage. Fun!
Yeap.!!
If you haven't already, check out your automotive or marine stores (or Amazon) for a BEARING BUDDY. I have had many boat trailers and dipping into salt water you need to regrease your bearings frequently. Don't need to pull and repack, just force enough grease to flush out the old stuff. They sell a small grease gun with cartridges most everywhere. I am looking at a 2014 13ft Scamp with an awning and a/c for a good price, unfortunately Nova Scotia and Newfoundland camps are all closed. Your videos have been very informative for me and I will keep following.
My wheels have grease fitting. Pump new in and old grease comes out. Sorry to here that Canada is closed......thats where I was looking to go on the 24th of July....
Thanks for sharing your trailer and your modifications, they’re great! I called Scamp last week and got a price for the 13’ with bathroom and a number of other options (AC, vinyl floor, awning, etc) and was quoted a figure of around $16,400. I have a class c motor home, but if I do a big trip the flexibility of this Scamp would be preferable....now if I can ever get time off work...
Cool....thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video as well! It was very informative and well organized. We’re picking up our Scamp next week and are so excited!! We also opted to go without the bathroom but have an outdoor shower and will pick up a little compost potty for times we are not at a campsite. Wanted the space and in its place have a little table and benches that close into a single bed/bench so we can keep our bed open and made throughout. Plan to be outside more than in anyway.😊. Safe and peaceful travels!
Thanks You much....enjoy!!
Looks great, tell amber and little man to be good. THANKS
They are mad with Me .....bath day. But I will.!
Amazing! That sink/stove cover is just beautiful! I reckon you can sell that and many scamp owners would love one! You are a Pro when it comes to making videos. You mentioned propane leak --> we are ever nervous about those propane tanks (and using propane in the trailer), can you share your experience on the leakage? I'd really appreciate it. We might opt for the whole trailer to be solar powered (if we can afford it). thank you.
It was leaking outside of the trailer.......a bad hoses.
I enjoyed the tour John. I like what you've done with the Scamp. I have a 2019 just like yours and plan on starting some travels in Sept. I'm a total newbie to campers but guess I will figure everything out.
You will learn as you go. Just take Your time and enjoy.....don't rush!!!
Pea Green here “tortoiseyard” I’m going to order mine within the year. I’m saving to pay cash for it.
Really nice! You did a great job on improvements! I would be proud to live in it n show it off! Thank you!
Thanks....going strong 4 years now!!👍
Really nice camper! I love the small ones! Heat them with a candle and cool them with an ice cube!
Thanks....
Beautiful remodel looks great,
Thanks.....all dine a bit at a time.
Be safe out there,sir!
Always Be Ready, Never know what is going to happen.
Good motivation and Info
Excellent work and design. Great video. Enjoy.
Thanks....Thanks for watching enjoyed Your comment!
They have it fixed very nice I would definitely have to have a bathroom. But it has a good feel to it
I really like the upgrades; the cabinet paint is a must!
Thanks...
Nice setup. Video is well done & informative. Thanx for posting. Happy motoring. 👍👍
Thanks...
Great improvement by painting the cabinet doors. I like it.
Thanks!!👍
Just order one. Can’t wait to get it! In 2023 😏
Cool....!! You'll love it!
Saw you at wal mart in Berlin vermont and followed your channel. Love the content!
Thanks!
I like all your upgrades you have done. Nice unit
Thanks!
Nice little rig. My Dad had 2 of them. He went all over in his too and he was a big man. RIP Daddy.
Cool.....they a great for one person. Thanks for watching.
John been watching your videos really enjoy your travels. I have just started pulling my camper. Boy you where right you learn as you go!! Retiring in December heading to Quartsite Az. Really hope I can run into somewhere on the road. Safe travel.
Check out New Mexico too.....yearly pass $225.00. If You want hookups only $4.00 a night. Thanks. Enjoy....be safe.
Thanks I probably will check into that. Have you been too Alaska? Planning that trip 2021.
Loved your tour! Great little camper
Thanks.....I've enjoyed Ger!
It’s beautiful! I had the similar U-Haul but upgraded to 28 foot Motorhome for more room to bring some kids and grands with us. I miss my little GoGo!
Understand!!👍
Thank you kindly for the tour! Take Care
Thank You!
That awning is really neat and fast to set up! 👌 😀
Yes it is....but blows in the wind.
Looks very cozy! bigger trailer comfy but more work too...travel safe; have fun!
Thanks!!👍
ABSOLUTELY adorable ❤️💕
Thanks!!Thanks for watching...enjoy!
What an amazingly cozy little home on wheels you got.fantastic do up job!
Thank you it meets my needs. Thanks for watching!
I like your Scamp the best. I really do.
Thanks!!!
travel safe my friend.. i love your camper.. we need one here in Europe👍
Nice Scamp! I like the way you fixed it up!
Thanx John and Little Man.
👍
Nice touches to your Scamp. You mention bugs you had to work out?? I have a 2008 13ft. I picked up new from Backus. My wife and I love it, but it came with some bugs, or quality control/design issues I had address. First, the silicone sealant around the windows was put on sloppy, it was a bear removing and correcting it. The aluminum band around the trailer is not anodized and started pitting right away, I sanded it and it is now painted with white enamel. The fiberglass cutouts around the drawers were crudely cut, had to file straight to fix. Many of the outside rivet covers have cracked and fell off, used sealant to protect from leaks. I have to rub a little oil on the cast door hinges and front window cover hardware to stop the rusting. Powder coating the frame and bumper would be nice instead of having the black paint pitting. I had a water leak on the floor and found rainwater coming in from a small gap at the furnace exhaust, I built a cover to stop that, remembering to remove it when needing to use the furnace. All of this, and it is stored under a Scamport (carport) I built. I don't mean to sound negative, the trailer is a lot of fun and very light to pull. I would gladly pay more for better parts and workmanship. It would be worth it.I like the cover you built over the stove and sink. I built one that goes over just the two-burner stove. The extra counter top is very helpful for a coffee maker and microwave. We use the bunks as storage, set up the awning with folding TV tray and two folding chairs for eating/sitting around. The bed stays a bed. I also replaced all the lights with LED's.After all the bugs, we still love Scamping. Thanks for sharing your Scamp.
Excellent tour! Thank you 😊
Thanks!!👍
Great. Its looks like a nice camper. Thanks for sharing
YOU ARE SOUNDING GREAT!!! 40,000 miles! WOW!
I agree...that’s inspiring and impressive!
John love, love, love this video, great job! thank you ! 40,000 miles!😃😀
Thanks!
I like how the inside looks. As for the shower situation, a hose can be attached outside surrounded with a curtain..just saying. Thank you for your video.
Some of them have that.I've NEVER ran water threw my Scamp. Thanks for the comment.....thanks for watching! Enjoy
Running against the wind
My theme song
Awesome trailer
Thanks....story of my life!
Ha, that is exactly what I thought as well! Love that song crank it up!
Seater...good tunes go down the road with!
great job on this video. thx for sharing such detail about the set-up.
John has a great video explaining his way to handle the “Bathroom” situation. Check it out.
Im really impressed. In some ways better than an R V.
Very nice. Thank you for sharing and be safe.
Thanks!👍
enjoy life my friend.
Nice job. I've wondered what those rigs look like on the inside. Pretty nice! Thanks for the tour.
Now You'vee seen my inside. I brought mine and had never been on the inside of one. Just looking at videos. Thanks for watching.
Awesome video! Brilliant idea on the Munchkin Xtraguard Dual Action Multi use Latches!
Yep.....got tried off fixing broken doors!
Great video thank you. I'm so thrilled you wore a mic. God bless you.
Bought a new Rode Mic....thanks!
Great explanation of the features of this camper. Much appreciated. (Kinda scared to check the 2022-2023 base model price! - not to mention wait times.)
$17,000 and I have been told 2 year wait. But You could always call see if they have any that weren't picked up. Buy as it is. That happens a lot....people back out of buying them. Call Wayne.....1-800-346-4932. Nice dude!!👍
loved i tend to learn a lot how i could do things too soon...thanks john
Yep....
It’s nice 👍 I see a lot of squabbling in the comment section about the lack of a bathroom, females would prefer one, etc.
I’m with you on this topic. It’s easy to get a composting or cassette toilet, or a luggable loo, Cuvier, whatever, and either set it up inside, maybe while traveling when you just stop for a night. Then when you’re at a camp site, pitch a shower tent for convenience sake. I like camp grounds with a bath house, let them deal with the humidity and plumbing lol.
All above is true....!!😀
Thanks... interesting and looks fun
👍
I Love your Scamp and I love your improvements. I wish it had a bathroom aswell. But for what it is terrific.
I enjoy it. Thanks!
Love hearing the bird , that's what I really miss in Florida
Love your trailer! Happy Motoring!
Nice trailer for you and your 🐕.
Thanks!!👍
This thing is off the charts brother. Very nice job. I have seen them new and to be honest, i like all the stuff you have done to it way more than the factory. You should start doing the sink counter/cover for the company and get kick backs. Amazing job my friend. Thank you for this video.
Thanks......I just didn't like the 1970 look!
Great tour. Thanks!
👍
Damn nice build. I would opt for the wet head instead of the bunk because I travel alone.
Thanks.....
Just loved your video. What a cute little camper. I know you're so proud of it to show it to us. We used to have a pop up then we got a 31 foot travel trailer
I just love camping. Next time I hope you show us your little dogs. I bet they are a lot of company to you.
Yes they are.Thanks for watching!
Love your scamp!!! Looks nice!!
Thanks....!
I really like the changes you've made with your scamp trailer and how you have made it truly to your liking! I like her name too.
Happy and safe trail to you!
Thanks.....thanks for watching. Enjoy!
Thank you. I am trying to find on but you totally helped me know what I might need to like out for. Very helpful.
Call Wayne up at Scamp Travel Trailer......very friendly!
This is super cute & efficient!
It looks so cozy. Nice little trailer
Beautiful trailer. 😍
Thanks!!👍
Really enjoyed that subscribed hello from England
Great tour. Thanks for sharing. Hope to travel one day. Bless u :)
I like these. Looks good. Best luck
Thanks
John, I like the cleanliness! It looks a cozy hang out for you, Amber, and Little Man. I would like to hear from you and your travels! Safe Travels to you all.
Thanks...yes it's all we need. I have a Clam that I also setup if I know I'm going to be in the same spot for awhile. Send Me a friend request on Facebook. Glad You enjoyed.
@@myscamptraveltraileradvent1230 / thx for the video
Great video. Very informative. Be safe.
Thanks!!👍
Hey John, Tim from Toronto. Luv the videos keep them coming. O yes luv the trailer, let me no if you ever decide to sell. Cheers 🍻
Promised it to my son.....but thanks glad You enjoy them. I'm a work in progress.
Отлично 👍👏😆снарежен, продуман до мелочей!
👍🎉🎉🎉🎉
Another question I thought of John. I appreciate u answering ur followers cause a lot of us are new at this. Did ur Subaru come with a towing package, trailor hitch, brake light hook up etc..or did u add on when u got the Scamp? Enjoy watching ur travel adventures. Thanks
Very good question Tommy cancan7, I’m was going to use my Camry 2.5 liter 8 speed transmission for mine. They don’t recommend towing anything. So I’m thinking of trading for a RAV4 instead.
Love Scamps, everytime i see them traveling down the highway i point them out to my G/F. We have a westfalia vanagon for camping but i wouldnt mind getting one of these after seeing yours
good video. thanks for the tour.
👍
Loved the video, tour of your camper. You have good taste.
+janis Thank you...just wanted to bring it up to day. And make it more Me!
Awesome tour! I hope you are still out cruising!
Nope.....home in VA. Thinking it all out?😒
My Scamp Travel Trailer Adventures U.S.A. be well and be safe!
So cute!
