We have a 2020 and it has the USB ports, the frig, water heater, and heater are electronic ignition (just switch the units on and they do the rest). We did get the A/C and glad we did, the awning, and of course it's a layout 6. Happy Scamping

[@barbarabuford5795]

Highly informative. Check on insulated tanks and insulated blinds or even heavy plastic for windows, and get more lights- LED lighting? Haven't decided which 16ft Deluxe model to get, but definitely leaning towards this with the bath and gorgeous oak wood! The newer models have options for all the features I want. HAVE to have A/C, heat, a microwave, sleep for four, and an awning! I love that they keep their value, and I understand about the wait list, but believe, it's well worth the wait. Thanks for being honest, and keeping it Real! ❤️

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

The new scamps have some really nice features that solve some of the issues we have & if you can take the extra weight the deluxe is really nice looking 👍 I did add some LED lights on the ceiling and it really brightens it up inside. good luck with your search for a camper 😁

[@denisecaldwell771]

We have all the features you want and it’s worked well for us. I love our bright oak interior.

Thank you 😊 behind the scenes secret...I write out my talking points & tape them to the wall off camera so I remember what to say - otherwise there would be a lot more rambling 😂. check out RVshare- there may be a Scamp near you for rent, it really is a great way to experience the fun of camping without having to do all the maintenance & cleaning that goes with owning a camper

[@CelebrateEverything]

Love this video. Did you do anything to help maximize the storage space in the lower cupboard with the wheel well in it? For the storage under our Scamp bed I found 4 rectangular laundry bins that fit perfectly- 2 in front and 2 to the back. Just hook together the front and back bins so you can pull out the two at once to give easier access to the back bin.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

thats a great tip...right now we just throw things down there & then struggle to pull things out from the back so we could use a better system for sure- thanks for the idea 👍

[@chrishorst6993]

You really increased the cute vintage look when you painted the wood white with the yellow

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

thanks Chris- we wanted it to be a fun, cheerful space 😁

[@virginiaspeciale8641]

Good video. I was wondering why Scamp (and others) can’t figure out a way to hang a shower curtain, maybe a roundish shower rod, so you don’t have to dry the floor, toilet, sink and walls.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

that is a good idea- maybe we can come up with a modification to add in the future

[@dreed7312]

It would be like showering in a sleeping bag and the wet curtain would cling.

[@barbstevens6020]

Great information and cute update on the interior.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

Thanks Barb! We are happy with how it turned out

[@AlaskaErik]

When you go looking for a four season trailer, be sure it's 0°/100° certified. Some manufacturers will call their trailers a four season unit, but if it isn't 0°/100° certified it isn't a true four season trailer. These trailers do tend to be a bit heavier, so that's something to keep in mind if you plan on keeping the Cherokee.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

we will keep that in mind- thanks for the tip! It is a long term plan, but we would like to do some traveling in Canada & Alaska in the future and were thinking a good 4 season truck camper would be the best rig for that setting - but that is far off in the future

[@rickdejean4649]

Your paint job is holding up very well 😄

New subscriber. I'm redoing a 1987 fiberglass camper from Canada. Fiberglass is definitely a winner.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

Welcome to the channel! yes- fiberglass has so many benefits! after having a vintage 1975 camper that was leaking I knew my next camper had to be fiberglass 😁

[@erickamekonapeper4007]

🤔um….at 1:26 there’s a Sasquatch outside your window for a second! 🙈 😹 Nice 😊 job with your tour. I’m looking for a 5th wheel Scamp. (Right now we have a 1990 29 ft Holiday Rambler Aluma Lite and I love it but I need to get something smaller it’s difficult to find locations for renting a spot long term 😌.) I will be living full time in it and I want to have that floor plan I love the setup 😏. Thanks for taking the time to do this I appreciate it. God Bless. ❤️😏🖖🏼🇺🇸

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

gotta keep an eye out- you never know what is wandering around the pine barrens! the scamp 5th wheel is very hard to find! we looked for a long time to find this floor plan- we think it works the best for regular use- especially with some of the recent modifications we made (updated tour video coming soon!) - Thanks for watching Eric & enjoy the camping season!

Great job explaining the actual living functionality and issues encountered. loved the review I wish they were easier to get.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

Thanks Charlie, they are hard to get- only so many made each year and the factory seems to focus on quality- there are some other options for similar fiberglass trailers- keep an eye out, you never know when you may find one 👍

[@DavidMosby]

Great video. I am impressed with your follow up in comments. I found a Scamp for a super good price and wonder if it is a hoax. Motel rates have gone up! Hopefully we get it! We have a 26 foot trailer sailor and it is 7000 lbs. The truck will pull it but it is a pain. I would not feel 2000 lbs back there. We have so much stuff that would be interchangeable with the Scamp. I bet there is a video out there about winterizing it yourself. I bet throwing some moving blankets on top at night in the cold would help. Most heat escapes upward.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

we love to watch videos about RVs & we still agree that the Scamp is best for us right now given the weight & layout. We may eventually upgrade to something like an Oliver or Escape...or maybe just a newer model Scamp - but right now we are very happy to have this scamp & yes it has gotten very expensive to stay in hotels or even airbnb! makes us like camping even more 😁

[@mcdo0gal1985]

Nicely done video

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

thank you chris!

[@denisecaldwell771]

Very happy I found you! Three years ago we inherited the same year model, but the deluxe version with a microwave and air conditioner. We have the fan over the bed and we do use it more often than the air conditioner. Unfortunately my husband is on the taller side and frequently bumps his head on the air conditioner. Totally agree with you it would be nice to have outside access to the storage under the bed! I noticed you have lounge chair cushions on the side dinette chairs. We struggle with making these comfortable. Also, did you have a full cover over your shower drain in the bathroom? Thanks for your wonderful video. I subscribed and look forward to seeing your other videos. 😊

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

It is a fun little trailer, but it is a tricky setup for a taller person- not much headroom! I took a memory foam mattress and cut it to re-stuff the cushions. It is so much more comfortable now. The scamp foam is very firm- we never wanted to sit on it. (I did a video on that if you go back to last fall when we were doing some renovations in the tiny house & scamp). I made a plastic cover for the shower pan to try to keep the dirt out of the drain- it worked well for a while, but I am looking for a better option as that shower drain pump is very picky. I will have a few updated videos & projects on the Scamp in the next several weeks so stay tuned 😊👍 Enjoy your Scamp!!

[@denisecaldwell771]

Thanks!

[@Bostonbob3]

What brand and color of white paint did you use on the cabinets/doors/trim? Looks like a perfect match to the fiberglass.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

that was some left over bathroom paint that I had from a project in the tiny house- I cant remember the exact color I picked (maybe just a normal white?), but it was designed to stand up to high humidity environments so I thought it would be good in an RV 👍

[@thatmichigangirl90]

Check out The Egg Camper made in Michigan. They are not currently in production, but someone bought the mold and will be making them again. They have double fiberglass construction- no rat fur and the water tank is inside. They are also taller inside and the bed area is 7 feet wide.

[@thatmichigangirl90]

The downside is no propane- just battery and electric.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

that sounds very interesting! hopefully the get back into production 👍 thanks for the suggestion 😁

[@cheri6174]

Never buy from a company that closed and bought and opened again

[@sherrycapito6736]

I love your little Scamp.......let me know if u decide to ever sell !!

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

[@MJ-my9sg]

For interior lighting a lot of campers add Fairy lights across the ceiling. It’s surprising how much light some have. Walmart has several options.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

that is a great idea and it would look so nice 👍 i am going to look into that, thanks!

[@rictech1325]

Great video!!!

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

Thanks Ric- we love our Scamp 😁

[@micheleobrien64]

With these and I think escapes have the fuzzy walls. I imagine odors cling and the smell of damp fabric. How has that been?

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

we are very careful about airing out the camper after use, keeping things open when in storage & lots of moisture absorbing bags to keep the musty camper smell away- I also put peppermint oil around the camper regularly to keep insects & mice away so it smells pretty good!

[@donr6499]

I like your enthusiasm about your little camper :>) I noticed you said you said you couldn't tell if the refrigerator was lit... That era of Dometic should have an ignitor... is the 12v power hooked up to the refrigerator? Just a cheap thought... Those refrigerators can be the greatest thing since transparent windows :>) :>) :>)

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

Hi Don, we love our little camper- it has been so much fun working on it & traveling with it. The fridge is hooked up to the 12v, but most of the time we run it off the propane because it gets colder faster that way- having a fridge really is one of the best parts about having a camper 👍

[@donr6499]

@@LetNewAdventuresBegin Sorry for the confusion... the 12v power should make the little indicator on the front of the refrigerator blink if the flame goes out... so you can tell from inside when the flame goes out. And, they make little fans to circulate the air past the back of the refrigerator to help it cool too. Next time you have the access panel off the camper make sure it's all nice and open up to the upper/roof vent. The better air it can get in back, the better it cools :>) I saw the comment on the little fan for the inside. I haven't gotten one of those yet but I'm thinking I'll give it a try, but I always try to limit how much the door is open so mine stays plenty cool. Enjoy your camper!!!

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

@@donr6499 humm we dont have an indicator light on the front of the fridge- maybe because it is an older model. Ours just has a tiny little window that you peer into to see if the pilot is lit & it is very challenging to see in the daylight. I have a feeling there will be a fridge upgrade at some point in the future

[@donr6499]

@@LetNewAdventuresBegin Sounds like you're missing a cover in the back that shades the little tube so you can see the flame. More Cheap advice :>) I'd skip replacing your fridge for a little while. All the import stuff is goofed up right now (Tarrifs, etc.). There is a RV refrigerator replacement table and it makes your life much easier if you get the one that directly replaces your old one. It will only take minutes to pull out the old and slide in the new. Or, if you want to change size, make sure you get one with the EXACT same width (as listed on the table). If you have room above the fridge you can rebuild the hole for a taller model but it's important to get the same width and manufacturer. Rebuild the hole first so you know how tall you can go (with the table in hand so you know what model you can build for). Your camper has a curved in sides so you may not be able to go as tall as you'd like. Either way, you really have to go with the same make (Dometic, etc.) so it will fit. Each company has it's own dimensions and connections. Until then, you should be able to download the manual for your fridge and it will show the parts breakdown and see if you're missing a little metal cover piece surrounding the flame. You can make one out of sheet metal from the cheapest piece steel duct from the hardware store and a nail to punch the screw holes :>) There's nothing better than a camper with good working appliances :>)

[@micheleobrien64]

If you like 4 season you might like the escape trailers from Canada. Its Canada proof.😅

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

the escape is our front runner for the next rig!

[@squigglove]

Terrific!! What is the tow capacity of your Cherokee? I have a Hyundai Santa Fe with a 2,000 lb tow capacity, but I'm not sure if I want to press the limits by going with the 16' or if I should play it safe with the 13'.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

the jeep is rated to 2,000 lbs so we are challenging it a bit with the scamp, the first owner pulled with a Rav4

[@bertkelly7650]

1st! How did you make out renting your camper or is that in another video?

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

It went pretty well- no major issues, but I will put together a video with more details about the whole experience

[@jimsmith9819]

you can add or enlarge existing windows for better lighting

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

sounds like we would have to cut the fiberglass for that 😬- we just added overhead lights & it worked great to brighten up the interior space, thats in a newer video. sounds like we need to do an updated tour as we have made several changes since this video 👍

[@barbarabuford5795]

Have to see if Solar is available and a separate 2 door fridge!

[@barbarabuford5795]

Also, if a Convection microwave is available, ..love the storage, and maybe get a griddle! Hint:. Some trailer companies offer one as an incentive to buy! ☺️

Perfect. Looking for a used 16 mdl 6. Not feeling very lucky......😔

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

[@melissadavis2873]

Looks like this is an older one? Curious abut the weight? The 1,700 lbs you state seems a lot lighter than what I was quoted (2,400 k for a 16 foot). I think this does depend on options, though. Would you agree?

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

it is a 2012 with the lower trim package so it is lighter, they have an option for real wood that increases the weight, and I am sure they have changed the appliances a bit which may also have added weight to the newer models

[@Steffiespack2]

Ive been wanting a small rv to do a year or more travel and done so much research and i really want a 13’ or 16’ scamp I have a smaller truck that can tow up to 4000lbs so light weight rv was a must because ppl forget the added weight of the things they put in the rv to use and i really want to keep it to a min to be better on my truck plus the smaller the rv there r more off grid places u can camp for free after i made up my mind on a scamp i went looking for videos on how to make it more self sustainable and found a wonderful couple who got a 13” scamp and have lived full time off grid in it for i think 3 yrs now so ive gotten a really good idea and i found a website that has used scamps only all over the usa im hoping to find one soon and make videos revamping it to be fully off grid

[@sharliengreen7763]

What's the website?

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

Steffie- that sounds like an awesome plan! we are slowly working on making our tiny house & our scamp more self sufficient so longer trips are possible. One tricky part is that going off grid can be a rather expensive process! what website were you using? we have utilized fiberglassrv for different listings and forums related to the scamp

[@media333]

How do you connect your grey water exit which looks like a hose connection, to the larger septic drain hole at an RV park? They want things to fit tightly. Is there some kind of adapter? Thanks

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

the black and gray outlet are separate on the scamp, but we use the usual sewer hose with a clear camco adaptor to get a good fit and to "keep an eye" on things 😂 we also got a valve that allows us to back flush the tanks with water to get them extra clean Here is the sewer hose: amzn.to/3F9NmIr and you can find all the stuff we use in our Amazon Store: www.amazon.com/shop/letnewadventuresbegin

I did this nice ..I got to see one took a look inside a newer one 😁cost say 12000plus ,

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

Scamps are great & the newer ones have upgrades that address many of the little issues we have with ours, but they hold their value & can be tricky to find used

[@cathyann6835]

Can you attach anything to the rat fur lining? Like a rack to place cell phones, keys, flashlights etc? I keep seeing the empty space unused especially when there's so little counter space anyway.

[@hrodd2]

[@ruby055]

Really great review, is there a fan in the shower/bath or is an option. I am looking to loose the AC for the same reasons you mention as we are Spring and Fall campers and thinking 2 fantastic fans one intake and then other out take would be beneficial.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

Hi Mike - I forgot to talk about the bathroom (wet bath) as we dont really mind it, but I know some people cant stand a wet bath. It does not have a fan, but there is a ventilation window in there that seems to work well- we have not had any issues with mold yet

Lucky me is about to purchase a Scamp 16ft that my brother owned. He sold it to a family friend that I am purchasing it from. I'm moving up from my 1970s Burro 13ft. I'm wondering what LED bulbs you used to retrofit your lights. And a tip for you. My brother installed a very small fan inside the fridge. It is mounted at the cooling coils. It circulates the air inside the fridge over those coils and makes the fridge much more efficient. I'll be looking at more of your videos.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

David, that is very lucky- Scamps are hard to find! but the 1970 Burro sounds really cool too! the LED bulbs were ordered from Scamp- you can get any replacement parts you need from them & you know it will fit. That is a good idea with the fan 👍 we are always looking to do little upgrades like that- thanks for the idea!

[@amyxvideo]

Very good, and enlightening! We have a 2010 13' scamp and can identify with a lot of your pros and cons (I was laughing out loud at the end, when you spoke of the difficulty to see the pilot light during the day on the LP refrigerator ignitor) The 13' is a little small for us, and we may look to get a 16' like yours... wanna trade?

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

they are fun little campers! I guess that is one perk of getting to a campground after dark- easier to see the fridge pilot light 😂 Ive been told the newer models have an upgraded fridge that is easier to turn on 😁 we love the 16' layout, but wish the bed was a bit bigger because Mr. Redford likes to stretch out his legs (& does not even consider the idea of sleeping on the floor 🐶)

[@MrJoshuadh81]

Hi! Thanks for the video, very useful info:) Just one question.. You said the Scamp wouldn't really work for people over 6ft, but site says the interior height was 6"3'. Is that not accurate? Or is it a short 6"3'? haha. Thanks!

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

Hi Joshua, I wonder if they increased the interior height on the newer models as I know that was a concern for many people- ours is a 2012 and I dont think it would be super comfortable for a taller person because of the bed size, the bathroom ceiling and the door height, but I do know some taller people that make it work- they just have to watch the head room 👍

[@tfries72]

It is incredibly hard finding a used scamp for sale. Which tells me they are very durable and people that buy them tend to keep them for a long long time. That being said would buying a new one be worth it? I would be looking at a 16 foot

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

they are hard to find- we looked for years and had to make a quick decision when we found one. If you have the money to invest in a new one & are ok with a waiting period to get it I think buying new would be a good idea- they have upgraded many of the issues I talk about in this video in the new models (better fridge, usb outlets...) and with a little care it could be something you have for many years

[@davidbreen4727]

what is the capacity of the grey and black tanks? i like this trailer though. it would be perfect for 1 person, me!

nope i think it is closer to 2 years now 😳

[@Solarix07]

Where do you shower?? Do they come with a shower???

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

yes- it is a wet bath so the shower is in the front of the camper with the toilet

[@larrykramer6057]

Nobody's perfect. Things also.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

yup - there are pros & cons to everything & for some reason I really enjoy making a good pro/con list 😁

[@jennifermagee9131]

Do you have a furnace?

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

Yes it has a furnace- which was working very well until a couple of weeks ago...now we are trying to figure out what is wrong with it, will keep you updated on that in future videos

Where's the bathroom

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

in this layout the bathroom is in the front of the camper

Looks like it'd be an informative video, but did you really name your trailer??? I can't....

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

Yup...thats Doris named after Patrick's Grandmom 😊

@@LetNewAdventuresBegin I was making a joke about what pineapples and flamingos mean in the RV life. Sorry bad joke

[@lazaroisern8032]

Yeap, you should have gotten the air conditioner.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

I think Patrick would agree with you 😂 but we tend to like camping without hookups so AC wouldnt do much good on those trips - like dry camping at Assateague when it was 95' 😳

[@bambikiller338]

24 month wait right now.

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

wow- that is a long time!

Get a real RV made to order with better amenities!

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

considering this is our upgrade from tent camping it does have amenities to us 😂

[@shirleylake7738]

Maybe you could help them out with that?

[@drivin69]

i love these campers we have always enjoyed teardrop campers a litter trailer then you just grab a pop up shower room and throw a portable toilet inside... i look at the bed and think it would be better two sleep length wise that way you crawl out of bed rather than performing a crazy move two use the rest room then having two again perform the same move if you were sleeping in the back.. i think we would get one with no bathroom... i love your video thanks...and the air conditioning is a ahhhhhh thing on vacation but we enjoy getting out and seeing the world.. plus those aircontioners leak big time...

[@LetNewAdventuresBegin]

you are so right jason- we ended up switching the way we sleep because I got tired of climbing over patrick and it makes more space for the dog when he is with us - all part of the learning process of being newer RV owners 👍

[@drivin69]

@@LetNewAdventuresBegin ya its the little things that make camping enjoyable like sleeping if you sleep and your comtorble but it took 15 min and you have two jump over and climb around some one two get comfy ... IF you get and use the restroom... makes a big deal as far as enjoyment...i love your camper i really wanted one of these when we first decided two camp but there outrages buying used... so i built a teardrop camper and as technology moves forward we sell them and build new ones with the good stuff that makes camping fun like solar power and more room for storage....there are infinite ways two make your expirance more fun and enjoyable...but a good knight sleep is hard two get a grip on.. the teardrops we looked at there were ones with 1 door.. so we settled on 2 no exceptions for the very same reasons....
