I'm glad to see more full timers in a 13ft. As of three weeks ago I and my two cats went full time in my 13ft. I have to say it has been awesome and liberating not to have a house. Everyone has their own and unique ways of storage I'm noticing. I'm also a campground host for the summer season to cut costs. I hope your travels are good ones. Thanks for putting your selves out there.
It's crazy to me how quick we were able to acclimate to leaving the house and living in approx. 60 sq. ft. of living space. I love my little space and the fact that we can park it in places that bigger rigs can't go!! And you're right! Isn't it so interesting to see how others renovate their Scamps (and other RVs as well!)?! The best part is learning from eachother, so we can all take the part we love and incorporate them into our own set-up.
Very cool video, I have a scamp 13 and always enjoy seeing what other people do to theirs. No matter how many scamps I see, there is always some little aspect that I see and think, "why didn't I think of that!"
Thank you! I actually have a video in the how-to playlist. I'll add the link below if you haven't already found it. ua-cam.com/video/qi9DIFOvBWM/v-deo.html
Nice job on your shelves, from the back upper cubby forward maybe three feet. Wondered how you attached, but I'll figure it out, thanks for the push. Carl
Honestly, it’s just screws going into the fiberglass. If you’re screwing into the actual shell of the camper, though, use rivets and silicone to secure it.
Really great video! 5.5 years of full time living in a 13 foot Boler (same as Scamp) and I'm still learning and figuring out new things to make it more enjoyable. The wood stove to stay toasty during cold Michigan winters was the best addition though. Looking forward to more of your videos!
Google sent me this as a suggestion and I love it!!! If I ever go nomad, I need a perm bathroom, I am forever impressed by the folks that can live like y'all. I prefer the scamps with the wet bath included, but I also love that you are sharing your life with us!
We needed the bunk beds and wanted the 13 ft size, so we could get into tighter spaces that bigger rigs can’t; this cut out the idea of having a bathroom. Honestly, though, it hasn’t been that bad. Cold nights are a struggle sometimes, but I still prefer it this way. 🤗
Awesome tour, you answered all our questions we didn’t ask you on your visit..lol. Would love to see your shower and bathroom setups. Uncle Mike is really excited about any outtake footage you may have🤣🤣. Love and miss you both and Percy already😢💕🥰
I was going to add "bloopers" at the end because we have several of them, but the video ended up being a lot longer than I anticipated. We've considered doing a "blooper" video every month just for laughs. 😅
The Solar!!! How did you attach the panel to the roof and feed the cords through the walls. . We're new to Scamp life, and I'd love to have solar for boondocking. Thanks, bunches for your channel. I'm looking forward to your next video.
Marshall is super giddy about our solar set-up, so he'll love to do a video about it soon! The solar panel on the roof is awesome too because he has it set up to charge our batteries while we're driving to our next campsite!
If you are familiar with butane single burner stoves, you know how expensive they are to run. GasOne came out with a dual butane/propane stove, but the hoses leaked. So they were on back order for over a year. Hallelujah - W*M now has cross over hoses to fit ALL brands of the butane stoves. Much cheaper to run a 1 pound can of propane. Or - I found a tiny 5 pound tank that i can get refilled at the Sinclair . . . dinosaur? Well my boler is a 73 and I am a 51
Seems the wait time has gotten longer. I had a 13’ Scamp on order, but we decided a little more space would be a better fit for us. At that point we decided on a Casita Travel Trailer. They don’t make 13’ anymore. I still enjoy watching all videos on 13’ Scamps.
Hey! We haven't actually made the video yet; Marshall has some raw footage from when he installed it, but there isn't an offical video yet. We'll definitely add that to our list of smaller videos to create, though!!
Thank you for sharing all of this! I’m especially interested in the slide out workspace under the drawer. You mentioned you got it on Amazon, but I can’t find anything like that.
No problem! I’ll actually be having an updated scamp tour video coming out hopefully within the next month or two. This one is about a year and a half old. I looked over the video at the part about the slide out drawer, and I’m not sure what you’re talking about when it comes to us buying something from Amazon. Could you give me the time stamp, and I can look really quick and let you know?
@@wanderess_sam Thank you for your reply! Sorry I wasn’t more specific plus I got it wrong that it was from from Amazon. I think it’s around 13:25 where he pulls out the first drawer he made, then directly under that there’s a pull-out where you can sit on the couch to have the laptop on the surface that pulls out. He said you got it from the internet lol, which really narrows it down! I’d love to have something like that.
@@annfath8729 Ooohhhh!! I know what you’re talking about now. He said that I saw someone else have that drawer on the internet (UA-cam) and I wanted one in my camper. He actually made the whole thing himself. He bought the rails from Lowe’s I think, measured the wood, and screwed it all in. He made sure to make the pull out table after the pull out drawer so he’d know how think the table could be. 😅 Sorry for the confusion.
Great video guys! I'm curious about the solar panels set up and the pump thingy for the water jugs, never heard of that, I'm thinking about some of this stuff could be really useful for my mom in PR when they lose power and water during hurricane season. Thanks!
Hey Aniat! I think our next "How To" video is going to go over solar and how we power the Scamp. As far as the pump, it works well to pump the water out of our jugs. It's just a rechargeable pump with an attached tube that sits in the water. We like it (though, I'm finding myself using the workout of lifting the jugs more often lately). 😅
Been looking at the scamps as well and your channel just poped up ,would like to learn more about the solar set up ,in and outs of it ,pro's cons etc ?
Hi. I’ve been thinking of this more and more... the whole going full time in our travel trailer. To break free from the “norm” which in my eyes is a trap. We have a Casita. It’s a molded fiberglass trailer as well. I’m surprised y’all opted for a no bathroom or plumbing option being that you’re full timing and all.
Marshall likes the Casita as well! We have ways around the no bathroom situation, and it allows for more room in the camper; although, Marshall misses a bathroom, and if he could have done it over again, he would have gone with a 16 ft Scamp. I love the 13 ft, though!
@@wanderess_sam I understand, being that it’s 13’. I use the bathroom, but not necessarily the black tank (most of the time) since we boondock a lot. 😉 Still, glad to have a private space of my own with a door for when needed. Yes, a 16 footer would be nice for 2 people vs a 13’. The good thing is, these campers sell quickly. So when/if you’re ready to upsize, it’ll be helpful. I’ve seen some add a composting toilet in their bathroom. That’s a big help as well. In the meantime, y’all keep enjoying the experience/life.
We leave the Scamp and drive around in the truck. That was one of our thoughts whenever we started thinking about this lifestyle (buslife and vanlife were on our mind at one point). I didn't like the idea of having to pack up my house everytime I wanted to go to town, though, so travel trailer it was!
Of course! I included a link below, and it is also in the video description. We also have an amazon influencer store with many of the things that you see in the video as well!

Hey! We actually have a small cargo trailer of some stuff that we didn't want to sell or couldn't let go of (tools, some clothes, etc.) that we keep at a family member's house until the time comes to get it. The funny thing is...I haven't even thought about what's in there since we left, though!
We put a full-size one in and had to cut it down a bit to fit, and it’s pretty snug. After a while sleeping on it with Marshall, though, we can barely tell it’s a full. However, I would bet a queen size would be too big.
We do now! It sits either outside or under the bench inside the Scamp; it depends on the weather. We didn’t in this video because the one we had was damaged by water. If you look in the description, we have a link to our updated fridge, so you can see which one it is. We love it and haven’t had a problem with it.

They truly are great little campers that have so much potential for individuality!
I'm watching this while relaxing in my 13' Scamp I live in. 🤙
Aren't those the best moments living in such a small space? So cozy!!
nice! do you have the bathroom layout or the front bench/bunk bed?
More on the shower set up please!! Thank you! I’m loving your channel!!! 😎
Thank you! We'll definitely talk about how we shower out here in one of our videos.
Great video. A total break down of the solar setup that you have would be great!
Thank you! I actually have a video in the how-to playlist. I'll add the link below if you haven't already found it.

Thank you for the video! Would love to see a video on how you installed the slide out drawer and table (13:35) in the kitchenette.
Nice job on your shelves, from the back upper cubby forward maybe three feet. Wondered how you attached, but I'll figure it out, thanks for the push. Carl

We thought about a wood stove but decided propane was a better option for us. I do love the aesthetic of a wood stove, though!!!
I'm impressed with Marshal's expertise in electronics and electrical stuff. I just subscribed and look forward to more great videos!
He does a great job at keeping us powered in the Scamp! 😊
Go in detail about rewiring and what all to buy! I am getting ready to do that to my little Uhaul camper
We can definitely do that for a shorter video!
Anything Truck has 7" red LED lights that fit boler and U-Haul campers

Very nice Scamp! We just ordered one and hopefully have it before the summer of 2024. So hard to find a person selling this little gems.
We had to drive a few hours to get our '01 Scamp the same day it went up for sale! Scamps definitely go fast!

Cozy 👍
Can you share the link for the Maxx Air Fan installation into the escape hatch?

Swipe a sliver of jalapeno pepper on that wood . . . Percy will go find something else to chew

Do yall follow Elsa Rhae and Barron? Y’all remind me of them! Really liked this video!
Love them both! 💚 Total inspirations and such rad, good people.
Been looking at the scamps as well and your channel just poped up ,would like to learn more about the solar set up ,in and outs of it ,pro's cons etc ?
We're hoping to get a solar "How To" video up soon!
How did you install the solar panel and generator plug? 🔌
Love your home. Maybe a door could be installed on your pantry.
Hey! Actually, in a later video, Marshall installed a door. He was getting tired of the number of steps it took to keep Percy out. 😄
How does the Tacoma do towing / hills etc ?

How do you use the bathroom ?
when you run errands like doing laundry or grocery shopping to you pack everything up or do you just take the truck and leave the scamp?
We leave the Scamp and drive around in the truck. That was one of our thoughts whenever we started thinking about this lifestyle (buslife and vanlife were on our mind at one point). I didn't like the idea of having to pack up my house everytime I wanted to go to town, though, so travel trailer it was!
Can you put a link for the fans? We’ve been looking for a small usb-c low wattage chargeable one but didn’t find any online. Thanks!
Of course! I included a link below, and it is also in the video description. We also have an amazon influencer store with many of the things that you see in the video as well! I'll include that below as well, just in case you're interested. =)

Is there a way to fit a queen size mattress in a 13 ft one?
We put a full-size one in and had to cut it down a bit to fit, and it’s pretty snug. After a while sleeping on it with Marshall, though, we can barely tell it’s a full. However, I would bet a queen size would be too big.
good video but it should have started at 1:24 almost stopped watching before that.
Do you have a fridge ?
We do now! It sits either outside or under the bench inside the Scamp; it depends on the weather. We didn’t in this video because the one we had was damaged by water. If you look in the description, we have a link to our updated fridge, so you can see which one it is. We love it and haven’t had a problem with it.
@TheWanderingWolfes
Thanks love the videos we are from Sydney Australia
U said kids do u guys have kids.
Marshall has two daughters (step-daughters for me) who are with us during their extended breaks from school. They were with us this past summer, and it was quite the experience for them not having indoor plumbing. 😅
