16 ft scamp camper is this one worth the money

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍. I have no doubt you could bring it back to its former glory. But I don't think it would be worth the time, effort and cost. You have made the right decision. Thank you both.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks Pete for watching.

[@jasonyoung8584]

Yeah i would of passed on it too. Too much money would have to bring that camper up to date. Keep looking. I wish you guys luck.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks 👍

[@xc7049]

I'm looking forward to your next camper project. They're the best.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Well it looks like we might have one coming up in the spring since we will probably do another cargo trailer build.

[@carmenmariacortesmarin2664]

Very good decision. I do hope someone will let you know about one that's not so much work and money. Julie is looking so nicely. Good to see you. Stay safe you guys.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Hi Carmen, it was nice to actually see inside of one so we could get a feel for it , but i think we might just do another cargo trailer build so we could have it the way we want it, thanks for watching and take care.

[@BigBonesBB]

Agreed on passing on that Scamp better luck on next one Julie nailed right away it was a 👎

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Julie said she would fight me on buying that one lol.

[@tonyborck3169]

I'm with your initial assessment with how much you'll have in repairs and time.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yeah too much work for us but maybe someone wouldn't mind fixing it up.

[@joebacarella2829]

Kevin, you could do a year of videos on all the work that thing needs, flooring, new door, re figerglass the entire top, seems like every window leaked at some point, way too much work. Might as well spend the money up front on a nicer unit, your little trailer is beautiful.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yeah i agree too much work for us, we really like our camper and try to keep it in good condition but wanted something just a little bigger.

[@kennethalmond8922]

Yea, a brand new 7 x 14 cargo trailer is currently $7600 in our area and would be easier to build out than fix something like this scamp. We did a 7 x 14 x 6 1/2ft hi cargo -> camper 4 years ago with full build out. Wound up 5300lbs fully loaded. 7ft wide is OK but I can't help but wonder about 8ft wide. We did a simple pole and tarp system that let's us deploy the tailgate (ramp style) as a sealed / weatherproof 6 x 6 bedroom giving us 7 x 20ft overall. 7 x 14 is a good size to get into the smaller campsites. Look forward to following you're journey on this!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

We would like to do a 6x14 cargo trailer because my truck is just a toyota tacoma so i have to watch the weight doesn't get too heavy.

[@frank_III]

We viewers vote that you build a bigger camper using a larger cargo trailer....

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Frank, we are kind of leaning that way on building another one , that way we can do what we want with it.

[@frank_III]

@@Robinson-Homestead If you do, cant wait for the content. The first video of yours I watched was when you installed a black tank in your existing camper. Been a sub since.

[@MrSTOUT73]

I would definitely pass on that one. You might also consider Casita, similar to the Scamp.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yeah we also thought about the casita, we are also thinking about doing another cargo trailer only a little bigger one this time.

[@frankcarrerejr]

That definitely be a lot of work to get it in good shape.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I think we're going to build.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Cargo trailer.

[@donaldscoville2749]

agree let it go. Door is terrible, floor is bad. It is clear this person didn't properly take care of it.

[@BigBonesBB]

There's One in Wendell Massachusetts that's Western Mass on Craigslist Kevin

[@Robinson-Homestead]

How much for that one ? I think we are going to build another cargo trailer but bigger.

[@BigBonesBB]

@Robinson-Homestead The Gentlemen was asking $10,500.00 in his craigslist ad

[@williamhaywood1610]

I bought a 1984 Burro very similar to the scamp. It had been somewhat restored had a salvage title got into it for 4500 took it across country from Georgia to Idaho and back through the lower south west I had visions of restoring it however it became a money pit and I sold it, my opinion if you are already familiar with converting our building travel Camper from cargo or travel trailers I would do that again. Also, the mounting of the air conditioner is the best for those fiberglass campers. I had one mount of all the top and they are very unstable and dangerous as they are not designed to hold them. At least the older ones aren’t. Stay Away!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thanks for sharing William.

[@TheWoodHaven]

Any one of those issues by itself is not that bad, but there are a lot of issues with that camper. Good to see the size and layout though.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yeah Daryl it was nice to see one in person but way to many issues for me.

[@johnlarch5300]

I sold one a little smaller but in better shape than that for $300.00.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Oh man that sounds like a good deal someone got lucky.

[@withLulimakesthree]

Yeah guys. Keep searching for another one.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

We are for sure thanks for watching.

[@280zone]

Agree with the others, this isn't the right one. The overall structure of the fiberglass tub is compromised.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yeah it was too far gone and i think it would take too much money and time to get it back to good condition.

[@davek6630]

The damage you see, is probably twice as bad after you tear into it!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Yeah i agree we don't mind some work but that one needed more than we were willing to put int to it.

[@johnlarch5300]

I'd give him $100.00 for it.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

We didn't want to offend anyone so we didn't even make an offer.

[@patrickkamer3924]

Run away from that, floors bad, roofs bad, and in between has lipstick.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

After checking out the scamp i think we will build another cargo trailer so it will have what we want and need.

[@RubenFletcher]

Run away Kevin. It's not worth it.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Lol i did
