e appreciate your decision to own a Scamp. We believe you will enjoy many years of

camping in your Scamp as so many of our customers have for over 50 years.

In writing this guide, we have done our best to include everything you need to

get started on your next camping adventure. Further information and helpful videos

can be found at scamptrailers.com.

This manual is written to cover all features and equipment available in the Scamp line-up.

Some of these items may not pertain to your specific layout or selected options.

New Trailer Break In

Re-torque your lug nuts after the first 50 to 100 miles.

Torque to 90 ft lbs.

Check bearings at 200 miles.

Trailer bearings can be slightly warm or very hot depending on speed and ambient temperatures.

A temperature exceeding 200°F can indicate high friction and a potential failure. This is most easily

tested with an infrared thermometer. If a thermometer is not available, pour water droplets on the

dust cover. If the droplets evaporate or roll off, the temperature is likely fine. If they boil and sizzle,

the temperature is likely too high.

Sanitize your plumbing

Before using the freshwater system, it is recommended that you sanitize the tank and

lines. DO NOT DRINK FROM THE PLUMBING UNTIL THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN SANITIZED.

See sanitizing instructions on page 27 for this procedure.

Preparing for Travel

Packing Your Trailer

When packing the trailer, weight distribution should always be kept in mind.

Improper distribution may cause the trailer to sway or bounce.

Pack items so that they will not migrate or slide around while on the road. Breakable items should

be packed securely where they cannot fall or shift. Heavy items should be placed on the floor, over

the axle or slightly forward of the axle. It can sometimes be helpful to move the weight further

forward and/or drain the rear water tanks.

An old rule of thumb is 40% behind the axle and 60% in front. IF MOVING WEIGHT FURTHER

FORWARD, BE AWARE THAT THIS MAY INCREASE THE OVERALL TONGUE WEIGHT OF THE TRAILER.

Pre-chill refrigerator

We recommend starting the refrigerator Three hours or more before you pack your food. This will

ensure that your food will not get warm before the refrigerator reaches temperature.

Before You Tow:

• Close and lock all windows

• Close all interior doors

• Lock the refrigerator door

• Close glass cook top cover

• Check that all caps and vent covers are closed and secure

• Lower tables into the bed positions

• Close the entry door and lock the dead bolt

• Lift the entry door step into the travel position

• Raise the rear stabilizers until completely retracted

• Check Tire Pressure (Set 6 ply tires to 50 psi., 8 ply tires to 68 psi.)

(varies by configuration)

Trailer Hitch Hook Up

1. Lift the latch lever and lower the coupler onto the ball. While closing

the latch, check that the locking under-jaw clamps securely beneath

the ball. If the under-jaw is sliding over the ball, raise the coupler

and try again. Once secure, raise the tongue jack or landing gear

until completely retracted.

2. Attach the tow chains to the hitch eyelets. Ensure the chains will not drag on the ground.

3. Attach the break away switch cable to the tow vehicle. Verify that the plunger is securely

installed in the trailer side receptacle. Ensure the cable will not drag on the ground.

4. Plug the 7-Way electrical connector into the tow vehicle receptacle.

5. The trailer should ideally be level once hooked up. If it is not level you

may need to install a drop hitch.

NOTE:

When unhooking, sometimes the trailer is too far forward or backward for

the coupler to release. If this happens, move the vehicle slightly forward or back.

Anti-Sway Control Bar

An Anti-Sway Bar will help alleviate trailer sway.

If installed: Attach the arm coupler to the 1-1/4” ball on your tow vehicle

and insert the pin. Adjust by turning the tension lever clockwise.

Start with low tension and increase as needed.

Check Your Trailer Lights

Verify all driving lights are functioning.

Check right signal, left signal, brake and

side markers.

Set Your Brake Controller

If installed: The trailer mounted controller has been pre-calibrated for

your trailer and will automatically brake when needed. The brake power

can be adjusted using the remote fob. When you come to a stop, with your

foot on the brake, press the up or down buttons to increase or decrease

the braking power. During travel you can press any button on the fob to

temporarily engage the trailer brakes.

If your tow vehicle has a dash mounted controller, follow the instructions

for that controller. We recommend starting at level 2

and increase or decrease as needed.

NOTE:

If there is a conflict with your

dash mount controller you can disable the

trailer mount by removing the fuse.

Setting Up Your Campsite

Assess the Site

Before you pull in and unhook, you may want to walk around and plot out your

campsite. Ideally the trailer should be set up on level ground. Locate any hookups

(electrical, water, sewer, etc.) and determine the best place to position the trailer and

your camping gear. Look for any posts, trees or other objects that might obstruct the

trailer entry door, windows or awning. Planning ahead will save time and make your

camping experience more enjoyable.

Level the Trailer

Once the trailer is in position, check that it is level. You can level side to side by

placing blocks under one tire. In the case of the 19’, you may also need to adjust or

block one of the landing gear legs.

After you unhook the trailer and pull the tow vehicle forward, adjust the front jack

until the trailer is level front to back. Lower the rear stabilizers until they make firm

contact with the ground and chock the tires.

Utility Hookups

Hook up any available utilities. These will vary depending on the campsite.

Additional Gear to Consider

• Potable/Fresh Water Hose

• Water Pressure Regulator

• City Water Filter

• Bubble Levels

• Jack Pads

• Wheel Chocks

• Spare Fuses (ATO/ATC)

• 30 amp Surge Protector

• 30 amp to 50 amp adapter (use in conjunction with 30 amp fuse or

30 amp surge protector)

• Entry Door Boot Mat or Patio Mat

• Toilet Tank Treatment

Battery Charging

Your trailer has an onboard volt meter to aid in determining the battery state of charge.

A fully charged battery will have a resting voltage of 12.6V to 12.8V. If there is a load on the

battery, it is normal that the volt meter may display a lower voltage. The battery is generally

considered discharged when it reaches 10.5V. Fully discharging may reduce the service life of

the battery. For maximum service life, keep the battery topped up as often as possible. If the

voltage drops below 10.8V, some onboard equipment such as the furnace, roof fan or

refrigerator may cease to function properly. When charging the battery via Shore Power, the

onboard charger will deliver between 13.6V and 14.4V. Once the battery is fully charged,

the charger will dial down to a 13.2V float voltage.

When charging from your tow vehicle or other external sources, the voltage should be at least

13.6V to provide a sufficient charge to the battery.

Battery Disconnect

The battery disconnect switch can be used to isolate the battery from the rest

of the electrical system. This is convenient if you are storing the trailer for a

few weeks as it will prevent the onboard utilities from drawing down your battery.

The disconnect must be in the ON position when charging the battery with your

onboard charger. The disconnect does not interrupt power coming from

the tow vehicle or solar charger.

Shore Power

Your trailer is equipped with a 30 amp RV plug called the “Shore Power” hook-up.

This can be plugged into a 120V AC, 30 amp service (available at most campsites) or an

appropriately sized generator.

You can also plug the shore power into a household 15 amp outlet, using the included adapter,

but be aware that the roof air conditioner requires a full 30 amp service.

Running the air conditioner through the 15 amp adapter is NOT recommended.

The 12V DC system and House Battery

Most electrical utilities on your trailer are designed to run on 12V DC. The 12V

system is versatile but can only provide power to smaller fixtures and appliances. It will not

power the roof air conditioner, microwave or electric water heater and it will not provide power

to the interior household style outlets.

The benefit of this system is that each of the 12V fixtures and appliances can be powered by the

onboard house battery as well as a number of different sources including:

• Your Shore Power hook-up

• Solar array*

• Tow vehicle**

• 12V generator/charger

• 120V generator via shore power hook up

When any of the of these sources are connected, they will also begin charging your house battery.

*Dependent on power consumption, size of solar array and available sunlight.

**Dependent on the tow vehicle wiring and how much power the specific tow vehicle is able to produce.

7. 10a – Furnace

20 amp Battery Fuse

This is a separate battery fuse from the one in your panel, it is located inline at the positive

battery terminal.

Open your battery box cover to access this fuse.

30 amp Converter Fuses

These two fuses are located on the side of the converter housing. The converter is

mounted inside the driver side rear bench.

All 12V fuses are standard ATO/ATC fuses.

Fuses can blow for a variety of reasons including wiring faults, load spikes (generally

from connecting or disconnecting a power source) or defective fuses. Always have spare

fuses available.

To see if a fuse is good or bad, look at the filament between the contacts. If this filament is burnt

or broken, the fuse has blown and needs to be replaced. A fuse can sometimes appear good and

still be faulty. If there is any question, try swapping the fuse out to verify that it is

indeed working.

Since fuses are considered regular maintenance items, the trailer warranty does not cover

fuses or service charges that determine a bad or blown fuse to be source of a failure.

LP System

Your trailer may be equipped with either single or dual propane tanks. These tanks

are 20lb liquid propane cylinders. We selected this tank style because it is the most

readily available and most easily exchanged or refilled.

To use the propane system, the gas must first be turned on at the tank. Initially, the

lines may still be filled with air. Lighting the cook-top can help get the gas moving

through the lines and push out the air.

Propane Tank Gauge

The optional single tank gauge can help you in determining how full your cylinder is.

The gauge is based on a pressure differential which can fluctuate with the climate.

There are markings to assist when reading in different temperature conditions.

Dual Tanks

If you purchased the dual tank system there will be an switchover regulator.

This regulator draws from one tank at a time. There is a green indicator on this regulator that

will turn red as the last tank begins to run empty. You will then know to switch over to the

other tank.

All Scamp models have a CO2/PROPANE GAS DETECTOR to alert you of a dangerous situation.

It is normal to briefly smell the propane when you first light an appliance. Apart from this

exception, you should never be able to smell propane gas inside the trailer.

Plumbing System

Water System Terminology

• FRESH WATER – This is the water that comes out of your faucets, shower etc. This water

is clean and potable (safe to drink).

• GREY WATER – This is the dirty wash water from your sink or shower drains. This water

is not clean but it is not considered to be hazardous either.

• BLACK WATER – This is the waste water from your toilet. This is considered hazardous

and must be disposed of properly.

The Fresh Water System

Your fresh water fixtures can be supplied by either the Fresh Water Holding Tank or

the City Water Connection.

Using the Fresh Water Holding Tank and Pump

Fill the fresh water holding tank. The port is located at the back corner of the trailer

and labeled: FRESH WATER TANK FILL.

When using water from the holding tank you will need to use the pump.

If you have the manual pump:

Pump the faucet handle back and

forth to pull water through the line.

Using the City Water Connection

To use the city water you will need to have a water spigot available at the campsite.

Run a clean, fresh water hose from the spigot to the water inlet port. This port is

located on the side of the trailer and is labeled: CITY WATER CONNECTION.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON CITY WATER USE: Campground water pressure can vary and in some cases

exceed the rated pressure of the trailer. Water from campgrounds or garden spigots can also

contain silt or other particulates. Either of these issues can damage your pumps, valves and

faucets. It is recommend that a water pressure regulator be used inline with the city water

connection to keep incoming water under 60 psi and protect the trailer plumbing.

If you have the electric demand pump:

Turn the pump on by activating the rocker switch

labeled: FRESH WATER PUMP located on the side

of the sink counter. The pump has a pressure

switch and will automatically turn on and off

when the faucet is opened and closed. Turn off

the pump switch if you do not plan to use the

water. Do not turn the pump on if you are

connected to city water.

If you have the manual pump:

The city water is a separate system

with a separate faucet. Use the

separate faucet when on city water.

The Grey Water System

Depending on the options ordered with your trailer, you may have either a Drain

Outlet or Grey Water Tank system.

If you have the drain outlet:

The drain outlet is located on the side of the trailer and is labeled as such. This fitting

has a standard male garden hose connection. Hook up a hose to direct drain water

into a separate storage container for later disposal.

If you have the grey water tank:

The grey water holding tank is drained by use of a dump valve. To empty the grey

water tank, drive to the RV dump station. Attach one end of the sewer hose to the

tank fitting and place the other end in the dump station tank. Pull the termination

valve lever to let the water exit the holding tank.

If you have a shower, you will need to use the drain

pump to move the drain water into this tank.

The drain pump rocker switch is located on the side

of the shower wall (labeled: DRAIN PUMP).

This pump does not have an auto shut-off feature.

Turn the pump on when using the shower or

bathroom sink. Turn off the pump once all water

has drained. Do not run dry.

The Black Water System

The black water sewage holding tank is drained by use of a dump valve. The valve is

located on the side of the trailer under the toilet (if applicable). To empty the black

water tank, drive to the RV dump station. Attach one end of the sewer hose to the

tank fitting and place the other end in the dump station tank. Pull the termination

valve lever to let the water exit the holding tank.

If you have the electric demand pump:

The city water is integrated into the system.

Use the same faucet and fixtures.

Both the city water connection and the fresh

water pump have built in check valves to

prevent water from exiting out the trailer or

back-filling into the holding tank.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Battery Upkeep

The house battery is a wet cell and the water level will need to be maintained periodically. How often

will depend on battery use and ambient temperatures. Proper safety precautions must be taken

when working with the battery. It is recommended that this service be performed by a qualified

service technician.

Terminals and Connectors

Regularly inspect all electrical contacts, eyelets, terminals and connectors for corrosion or wear

which may degrade the electrical connection and lead to electrical malfunctions.

Axle Bearings

Bearings should be lubed every 5000 miles and visually inspected every 10,000 miles.

Lubrication:

Remove the rubber cap from the middle of the grease cover on the end of the spindle. Attach your

grease gun fitting to the zerk and add grease. Two or three pumps is generally sufficient. It is

recommended that the grease be added slowly while rotating the tire. This will reduce the risk of

pushing through the grease seal.

Visual Inspection:

Remove dust cap, cotter key, and castle nut. Slowly slide the hub from the spindle. Clean the interior

cavity of the hub. Remove bearings from spindle clean and remove old grease from bearings.

Visually inspect hub cavity and bearings for discoloration, damage, pitting, or flat spots, and check

rolling functionality. Replace parts if needed. Hand pack new grease into the bearings and

re-assemble. Add 5 extra pumps (for manual grease gun) or about a thimble sized amount of

grease into the chamber.

Water Heater Anode (for the Suburban model only)

The water heater tank contains an anode

which protects the tank from corrosion.

While in use, the anode should be

inspected every 3 months and

replaced if necessary. Always drain

the water heater tank when the

trailer is not in use.

Tank-less, On-demand water heaters

do not have an anode.

BUTTONS

Water Filters

The fresh water and gray water pumps are equipped with stainless steel re-usable

debris filters. The fresh water pump filter is located in the passenger side rear bench.

The gray water filter is located beneath the trailer under the shower pan. Remove the

filter by turning the clear cover counter clockwise. Clean and re-install.

Air Conditioner Filter

The roof air conditioner has a re-usable fine mesh filter. To remove, gently pry the

tabs from the air cover and pop the filter from the housing.

Window Drain Openings

Most RV windows have drainage openings or “weep holes” in the bottom frame.

Check these openings monthly and clean if necessary. If they clog with pollen, leaves

or other debris, water may build up in the track and seep into the trailer cabin.

Cabinet Door Catch

The cabinet door roller catches may occasionally shift due to use or vibration.

To adjust: Loosen the screws, reposition the catch and tighten screws.

General Cleaning Information

Windows Window and glass cleaners.

Fiberglass Window cleaners or multi purpose cleaners.

Auto or marine polish and body wax.

Wood Cabinetry Furniture cleaners or furniture polish.

Cushions Upholstery cleaners/fresheners.

Cushion covers can be removed and machine

washed. Wash on cold/delicate. Dry on low heat.

Headliner Fabric and upholstery cleaners.

Storage and Winterization

Suspension

When storing for prolonged periods, it is a good practice to block up the trailer and relieve

stress on the suspension.

To do this jack up the trailer slightly and slide blocks or jack stands under the frame directly

behind the axle. The idea is not to lift the trailer completely off the ground but to take the

majority of weight off the axle torsion arms. When finished, lower the rear stabilizers to keep

the trailer steady. Use blocks under the stabilizer pads if needed.

Moisture Levels

Humidity can be an important factor depending on your climate. Left unchecked, humid air

inside the trailer can condense resulting in water damage and mold. In humid areas, the use

of either an absorbent or powered dehumidifier is recommended.

Battery Storage

The trailer battery should not be left outside in freezing weather for a prolonged period.

Doing so may freeze the electrolyte and destroy the battery. Store the battery in a heated space

or use a battery maintainer/trickle charger to keep the battery charged and prevent freezing.

Winterizing the Water System

To prepare for freezing conditions you will need to drain all water from the trailer and run

antifreeze through the water system.

Empty all Tanks

1. First you will need to go to the RV dump station and empty the black water and gray water

tanks. Rinse the tanks with clean water.

2. On the outside, passenger-side of the trailer, there is

the fresh water tank petcock valve on the bottom.

Turn the valve to let water drain from the tank

(this water will drain out the bottom of the trailer).

3. Open your hot water faucet taps (leave the pump off).

If you have a tankless water heater, skip step 3.

Lift the access cover on your rear dinette driver

side bench. At the back of the water heater, locate the

bypass valves, turn valve to the bypass configuration with

all handles aligned vertically (see image).

WATER HEATER (side view)

Shown in Bypass Configuration

(levers vertical)

Shown in Hot Water Configuration

(levers horizontal)

4. Outside the trailer: open the water heater maintenance panel and remove the anode plug to

let any water drain from the heater tank.

5. Close hot water taps.

Run Anti-freeze Through the Water Lines and Fixtures

1. Add RV anti-freeze to the fresh water holding tank. Most trailer layouts use 2-3 gallons.

2. Turn on your fresh water pump switch.

3. Go to each fixture and run the cold water side until you see only antifreeze (the anti-freeze is

typically colored pink or red)

• Kitchen sink

• Bathroom sink

• Bath shower head

• Toilet

• Outside shower head

• If you have a tankless water heater, run anti-freeze through the hot side

4. Turn off the fresh water pump

5. Go to the city water connection fitting and gently remove the mesh screen. Push the small

button-like protrusion to let water flow out the fitting until you see anti-freeze.

NOTE: If there is pressure in the line, water and anti-freeze may spray out with force.

Add Anti-freeze to the Drains

Pump or directly pour anti-freeze down the sink and shower drains.

1. Turn on the shower drain pump.

2. Look under the trailer to visually verify that the anti-freeze has passed the pump and is

traveling down the clear line leading back to the gray water tank.

3. Turn off the shower drain pump.

4. Open the dump valves and drain any excess water and antifreeze.

Re-install water heater anode.

Close all covers and caps.

De-winterization

Remove Anti-freeze from Lines and Fixtures

1. On the outside rear, passenger-side of the trailer, there is the fresh water tank petcock valve

on the bottom. Turn the valve to let anti-freeze drain from the tank (this will drain out the

bottom of the trailer, place a bucket underneath to catch the old anti-freeze).

2. Add water to the fresh water holding tank.

3. Turn on your fresh water pump switch.

4. Go to each fixture and run water through until you see only clear water and no color

(the antifreeze is typically colored pink or red).

• Kitchen sink

• Bathroom sink

• Bath shower head

• Outside shower head

5. Turn off the fresh water pump.

6. Go to the city water connection fitting and gently remove the mesh screen. Push the small

button-like protrusion to let water flow out the fitting until you see clear water.

NOTE: If there is pressure in the line, water and anti-freeze may spray out with force.

7. Drain any remaining water from the tank (this water will drain out the bottom of the trailer).

Sanitize Lines and Fixtures

1. Fill the fresh water holding tank with bleach sanitizing solution.

2. Turn on your fresh water pump switch.

3. Go to each fixture and run water through until you smell bleach.

• Kitchen sink

• Bathroom sink

• Bath shower head

• Outside shower head

4. Turn off the fresh water pump

5. Let sanitizer sit in the tank and lines for 4 hours then drain.

6. Remove fresh water filter and rinse.

Rinse Lines and Fixtures

(skip this step if you have a tankless waterheater)

1. Lift the access cover on your rear dinette driver-side bench. Go to the back of the water

heater and locate the bypass valves, turn to hot water configuration.

Outside the trailer: Open the water heater maintenance panel and verify the anode plug

is installed and snug.
