Our New Scamp

Starting anew.
After selling our Motor Home, we have a place to park a trailer.   Have been looking for a small trailer for a while now.  
When this one appeared it was perfect.   A 2002, in great condition and price.
A few minor repairs were necessary, but never fear I have to go through it any way.
The AC Converter (converts 110 vac to 12 vdc), was not working. There was no battery or cushions on the Dinette. One of the propane tanks, not here.
The first step was to deal with the DC system.  New battery, then run down all the wiring and make repairs.  Purchase a new Converter and install.  The 110 AC cord was fed through the outer wall, a very poor method, it allowed critters to enter the trailer.   The squirrels had been storing acorns in there.   Had to change that. Installed a 30amp bulkhead connector, that did it.
Next job was the water tank, it was located in the middle of the storage compartment. There was no room for any thing else.  I was able to move the tank and remount it. Then install a water pump, so now you get water automatly when turning on the faucet.
