Expensive Electrical Problems - Would Not Honor Warranty
The 120 volt electrical system would not work on our first night of camping in our brand new 2018 13' Scamp camping trailer. We drove 200 miles back to the factory n Backus, MN for repairs.
They discovered the problem to be an interior outlet that was shorting out the system.
5 days later on the same trip the 12 volt electrical system completely failed. After discussion with Scamp (Eveland's Inc.) we took the trailer to a local camping trailer dealer for repairs. They had to replace the power converter and the battery to fix the problems.
Scamp disavowed any responsibility for the issue and we we were stuck with an expensive repair bill on a brand new camper.
Scamp's customer service is terrible and their warranty is worthless. We are extremely dissatisfied customers!
Preferred solution: Full refund
I bet that the shorted outlet caused the problem with the converter.

"97 Scamp 16' Standard Far from Pissed
- Parts availability shipping and touring the factory
I've had a 1999 Scamp for three years now. Love it, especially compared to all the horror stories I've heard from other RV brands.I took the trailer back to the factory to have additional equipment installed.
They got me in quick, did the installs while I waited, were very reasonably priced, and even through in a new door curtain for me when I asked to buy one. GREAT service department.I now have on order a brand new 16 foot with additional features in prep for the possibility of going full time.While few products are perfect and totally without defects of one form or another, Scamps are very durable with MUCH fewer opportunities for leaking water to destroy the trailer in a short time, like happens with many other RVs.
Scamp has a long track record of producing very long-lasting, basic travel trailers. They are not cutting edge, but they are dependable and durable.

Don't buy a Scamp 5th wheel
I bought a Scamp 5th wheel trailer in January of 2008. Never again. Prior to this I always had truck campers since I live in Alaska.
I decided to get something that I could unload so I could get into difficult areas where all the good fishing was. I read the reviews and thought the Scamp was a good choice. It wasn't.
The thing is falling apart already. The water tank fill port leaked all over the trailer and it wasn't until I pulled it apart that I could find it. There are other issues as well, such as the drawers all falling out once you are moving. The refrigerator doors popped open and broke off due to a real lousy suspension.
The sink in the bathroom is a flimsy plastic contraption that is one jump up from a paper plate. The water that leaked has damaged the plywood sink cabinet as well as the cabinet with drawers on the other side and dry rot will probably be the result.
I know I am a certified building inspector. This was supposed to be the deluxe model and I drove down from Fairbanks, Alaska to pick it up. What a mistake. If this is an example of American craftsmanship, buy Chinese, on second thought don't buy anything and watch these clowns starve to death.
I bought my Scamp in 2015 and found some-things that could have been better assembled but ALWAYS found a way to fix or make it better. As time went on, I found it normal for something (anybody that owns an RV, not just Scamp owners) to have been built or assembled better with their RV.
Over time I’ve camped with groups to find that MANY, and I do mean MANY that owned $100,000 to $150,000 to have lots of problems too (electrical, pump, structural).
FYI: I’ve been on a few Scamp sites on FaceBook that have had good dealings with Scamp and almost everytime got Satisfactory service even including sending out parts free for the newbie Scamper. Go on FaceBook and insert “Scamp” in Facebook’s search bar and find out for yourself.
Plus you will find those that dealt with the same problems you are dealing with and most likely have fixed etc…
