The Scamp is done!

So the Scamp is finished - more or less. We have a few things that we will be working on. The air conditioner window is one of them. Jay doesn't like his initial design and he is coming up with new ideas to make it better. We are going to redo the table because neither of us like the color (gray) and Jay wants to change the material and design. All of the other things that we want to do are just small finishing touches. She is ready to camp whenever we want to go! And we named her Marsha. Marsha Mallow, because she looks like a big marshmallow!!

We have our cushions now, straight from the Scamp dealership. They are awesome. 

Jay built a drawer under the bench/bunk bed. He also made the cabinet doors, installed the backsplash and the hinged cutting board over the fridge. He will be adding a storage compartment underneath the cutting board sometime soon. We have our curtains up, which I made but I do not like. I will either make some more or maybe order some. But for now, these will work.

You can see the window where the ac unit sits over the dinette. Jay doesn't like how it turned out, so that will be redone. You can also see the table that will be redone as well. 

We need to find a place to store the ac unit when the Scamp is not in use. But for now, it goes right here on the floor. Jay is going to trim out the bottom of the ensolite where it meets the floor and trim out the bottom of the benches. 

 Everything works great, the lights, power, water, air conditioner, fridge, etc. 

Now it is time to put some miles on this camper! I love it!

More progress - finally!!

We finally drug out the old camper. Jay has made tremendous progress in the renovations. We will be using the camper in a matter of days and we are so excited. So here is a list of tasks and projects that Jay has completed this week:

• All of the fiberglass cabinets and benches were primed and painted black
• Checked for and sealed any water leaks
• Ordered and partially installed the flooring (Allure: Light Bamboo)

Measure twice, cut once.

We ran out of flooring so the rest of the floor will have to be completed when it arrives - we had to special order it from Home Depot.  

• Installed the metal stair mold on floor transition 
• Removed the light fixture and its wiring from behind the sink
• Replaced 12 volt wiring for the lights on either side of the upper cabinet

This flooring is completely waterproof and lightweight.

We are going to add track lighting and a back-splash.

• Installed track lighting

I love these lights.  Jay installed a dimmer switch for them.

• Installed city water connections
• Completely rewired the camper and added four 120v outlets

•  Made and installed a backer board for the back splash

•  Installed the faucet

We found a great deal on this Moen faucet at Home Depot

• Installed the fridge and framed it in (he hadn't yet framed it in when I took the picture)
• Painted the cabinet support bracket
• Made the storage compartment covers for the benches

You can see the shiny support brackets to the left and one of the compartment covers on the right. I will paint the covers black to match the benches. 

Jay is still working on the camper as I am typing this entry. We plan on taking the Scamp on her maiden voyage in less than a week and we are so excited. There are still things to be done:

1. Make, stain, attach handles to and install the cabinet doors
2. Finish installing flooring and any floor trim
3. Hinge cutting board over the sink and create compartment underneath
4. Fix front door handle
5. Make curtains
6. Install curtain rods and curtains
7. Install the tail lights on the trailer
8. Install the back splash behind the sink
9. Make and install the table for the dinette

I am sure there are other things I am leaving out but that is all I can think of for now, and that's plenty!
We will be getting new cushions, but that is a big expense. We want to order them from Scamp and they will cost around $750 including shipping. So we are going to wait a while before we order those.
Jay has really done an amazing job and he has put a great deal of his free time trying to make this camper perfect. I am thoroughly impressed and I can not wait to go camping - in style!!
