    1986 Skamper 080S Truck Camper

    Congrats! I picked up one last fall and will begin repairs shortly. Search for Skamper in this forum and you will find a few goo rebuild posts/pictures. I "Believe" you can remove the canvas without taking the top off.... however it may be overall easier to remove the top. If I was going...

    Since this thread is discussing the older Skamper. Does anyone have the Electrical Schematic for this (or close style) Skamper?? I need to do some electrical work on my camper this Spring and before try to recreate this info I'd thought I'd ask. The Wiring should be fairly straight...

    My new truck camper

    Ok, I'm jealous! Nice find. I spent approx. 6 mo looking for a small popup truck last fall in NE and visited a half dozen "really" rough campers and finally settled on a 86 Skamper in decent shape. Yours looks great!

    unknown wire

    Ok I'll take a guess and I am not familiar with your Camper - Some trucks may have trailer/slide in camper wiring just under the drivers seat. Could it be for hooking up one of the following? - going to camper top edge Running lights - Third brake light wire ??? - any...

    On Mine as well - 2012 Base I4 4WD. Only hauled it home in the fall. Fits fine (with tailgate down It's a few inches from the end of the tailgate), Ride OK with Stock Suspension fairly level and not on the bump stops. I'll add torkins in the Spring so I can not worry about adding a few...

    As My Skamper has almost a foot of snow on it - I'm jealous that I still need to wait until Spring before I begin working on my Torsion bar system. Looks Like you are making good progress !!

    Thanks for the Update - I was waiting for your next post. All this looks GREAT. In summary, IMO, you have an old camper that needs a lot of TLC. You have fixed/repaired and cleaned it all - and it all looks great. I'm sure you will get great pride in using this - and I'm my opinion -...

    Your Repair looks great! Keep up the good work. I have a "couple" small rips in my screens that I'm going to try to stick up using a fine thread and needle ( Sewing Mesh to mesh only). I have looked for a few cheap tools that I'll probably pick up to help. Besides some upholstery...

    Thanks Much for the Pics !! Those answer a number of questions I had. My Comments (and it does not mean I'm right on any of these ..) - I wondered of the "swing up" seat was added on by a previous owner .. I can now see that is was not. - I "Think" IMO that this in not the original...

    IF you look at your picture of the right rear you can see on the back just over the ply you changes a square tape glue spot. I have the exact same mark on my camper - so I think this was the exterior location for the Mfg label/serial number. There is a board that "I assume" fits next to the...

    I believe I have a copy of the heater docs if interested.... that's what mine does.... there is a start sequence with the thermostat to get the fan to work.
