During the past six weeks we finally took a big step resigning from our jobs in Cincinnati and relocating.. Our new home base is Buffalo, NY where we both have family, friends and will reside post traveling across the country with the Scamp! Steve and I grew up in Western New York so the territory and weather are very familiar to us. We have continued to work on final preparations on the Scamp: sanitizing the 12 gallon onboard water tank, replacing the cracked water intake spout, adding a 12V rechargeable water pump, connecting the propane to the refrigerator, caulking more window leaks, organizing the interior cabinets for storage, fixing the pealing Scamp decals, and adding a few safety features.
We added a few indoor safety features such as a smoke detector and carbon monoxide monitor. Both devices are battery operated and mounted above the tall closet. There is also a small fire extinguisher attached to the wall. In the event of indoor fire for escape routes, the side windows do slide open as well as the the rooftop vent exit. So happy to have these safety features on board :-)
Adding the final touches on the Scamp interior has made the tiny trailer a sweet and comfy home. Although there is still some cosmetic exterior work to be done we will be able to enjoy traveling with the Scamp without completing those projects at this time. She has turned out just as expected, maybe even better. Thank you all for being so patient with the blog so far focusing on the Scamp restoration. My next post we will be on the road and sharing our travel adventures across America, but not before some final Buffalo snow!
