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.

Stove Cover and Sink Cover

In a small camper is it always about getting more counter space.  Since i am not using the propane stove - most people buy or build a cover over it.  The same is said for the sink.  One thing i didn't notice was that ink blot on that plywood of the sink cover.  I thought surely i could paint over it.

painted the underside

Painted top

I am happy with it except for that ink blot.  I may buy a cutting board and glue it to the top of that one.

The hole in the middle is so you an lift it up..  

Magic Mesh Screen door

You can pick these up for about 7 bucks off ebay or amazon

You can cut it to fit the camper

My neighbor sewed them together at the top and made a loop that you could slide a curtain rod thru. 

She also sewed some tie off strings on the sides which are handy.

Velcro the sides down with the included Velcro then simply walk thru it.  

I think i will take my down and put it up at the campsite

Back Bed modification

 This is what the back bed looked like. It had two boards that wobbled everytime you got up.

 I cut a 3/4 plywood to fit in it.  Notice the black line. I extended the bed 2 more inches and filled in the triangle areas.  

 

 I then cut a 1/2 plywood to lay over the whole bed.  I wanted it to be one solid piece but couldnt get it in the camper like that.   I screwed them together so they will lift as one solid piece. It is alot more strudy bed now.

 The table that was here was same size as this but the sun damaged half of it where it was up against the window.  I cut this new table out of the pristine table that was under the cushions all this time.  Bonus.  Fixed two problems.  

I found a way to keep the storage under the bed during transit.
