Did you buy this new or used?
2011: Broken water filter attachment due to sloppy installation.
Should have been spotted during PDI (pre-delivery inspection)
2011: Particle board counter top by sink began to swell. Fixed under warranty but still a hassle.
All laminate counter tops are made of particle board, if you let it get wet it will swell. How did it get wet?
2011: Leaking toilet, took many hours to diagnose and fix.
Did you fix or have it fixed? Where was it leaking? What caused the leak? What was the fix?
2012: Heater doesn't work---hours to diagnose and fix
Did you fix or have it fixed? How was it not working? What was the fix?
2013: Propane tank hose leaking. Not fixed yet.
So a hose leaked after 3 years of use. Where is it leaking? Do you really think that Scamp is to blame for a leaking hose? 3 years after they built the trailer!
2013: Roof leaking around fan. A Screw was tightened too much in assembly and had broken off inside the fan frame. Also, all the caulk had lost its adhesion and peeled off. Not fixed yet.
The broken off screw is a screw up on their part. The person putting the screw in should not have left it like that. Caulk should be checked at PDI and at least every year after. Every fall and spring, I get up on my roof and check all the seams and caulking. And if you think that there is a lot of caulk to inspect on your Scamp, my Puma is 40 feet long, feet long, has 5 skylights/fans, 3 doors, 4 slide outs, and 12 windows and I still do the inspection.
2013: Heater not working again. Not fixed yet.
How is it not working? The same as last time or different?
