IT IS HOT!!! Give Me AC

This is my setup for my AC in the Scamp. After alot of thought, i settled on a system where i take it in and out of the window. If you you think about 360 days a year. Even if you camp ALOT. You may actually only in the camper 20 nights a year. That is 340 other days that AC could leak around the window. Better to keep it stored inside camper till you need it and keep your windows shut.

I cut a board to fit



I built this box out of wood


I store AC under front bunk in transit

Hope this gives you ideas.q

STAY COOL MY FRIENDS!!!!

Scamp Bathroom Remodeled to Bunk

Scamp Bathroom Remodel

When i first saw the Scamp and the closet with a portable toilet - I remember thinking what a waste of space for just a room for porti-potty.  I am sure i would have NOT done this is it came with the shower and real toilet.  


After the tolet was removed,  Water damage was found from the leaking window and the tolet vent hold. This will would have to be cut in half.  


Removed the door and this inter wall.  Took it out cut an put it back in.. 


All the floor in the front had to be removed and new waterproof subfloor was put in. 





I cut the wall and put it back in


new floor put in and caulked. 



Framed up bed frame


storage under the bed


Used cardboard template to cut bed top


Top installed



Installed white trim around the edges and mattress


Your feet go under the cabinet. You still have the upper cabinet and two storage areas under the bed.

Grab handle


The wife says the camper is hard to get into.  

I found this plastic grab handle on ebay.



After looking at several options including putting it outside.  I decided to put it inside - high enough that you can get to the backside of the bolts in the microwave compartment.  

Floor mat for a camper

Someday, I would like to put hardwood floors in the camper, until then it still has carpet flooring.  I was looking for something that would be a little easier to clean.


I saw this exercise mat. It is 4 foot by 8 foot.   I says it is antimicrobial and mold proof.  



A razor knife make the cuts very easy.  


It seems like it will be good.  

STEPPING UP!!!!

Found a new step




It is a wider step than most.  It has a 400 lb weight limit.  
Most people with Scamp's use some sort of step.
