Our new Trailer 1975 Scamper

Hello,

Here are some pictures of our new trailer that we have done a little bit of work getting it ready for this season.
I have just took out the old water pump to see if it was the reason why the water does not work on 12v. I tried this pump with direct 12v from the battery with nothing at all.....
Where and what should i be looking at to get a new little pump? It has a really small little tank so im not into spending alot of money on a massive pump.


Anyways here are some pictures of our trailer. Let me know what you think

    Thinking about it, I wouldn't want a dark interior. Seeing your photos, it is a very classy and calming look. I like the interior look a lot !

    Hey, you need a 1 ton dually to pull that...lol...figured I would beat someone to the punch. It reminds me of the trailer I used to go camping in with my grandparents. Even through high school. Great memories were made with that trailer.

    Thanks for the advice how are you using the small tanks for gravity feed? Up high in the cabinets? Just a valve and a hose?

    I just really dont wana screw around with the water tank we have to take water to the sink to wash up and what not.

    Where should i buy one? Are they automatic when the tap turns on?

    Sweet!

    Sounds like the pump is toast...no big deal, they're cheap. You can buy one for less than a hundred bucks if you want to keep using an electric-operated system. I say that because after years of bigger rigs I now have a little trailer, too, and the hand pump supplied with its 14 gallon tank worked just fine until I eventually decided to just go with a gravity-flow system based on two gallon containers. Took out the water tank and am now using the space I got back for extra storage.

    Works for me!
