Ready to paint my popup. Question is what paint would be best for the roof? And for the sides?

Oh I have found my people among people lol

I have a 2001 Skamper Sport 17XS made by Thor

I have been trying to find the manual for this camper since I bought her in August of 2021 and have yet to come across it.

Got the manual? I have the 2002 Skamper 17xs.

thanks
Steve

I have a 2001 17XS and am still looking for the manual lol

I am looking for the corners as well without any luck here in Ontario, Canada

Hey fellow skamper people! I need some help. I bought my skamper last year and the awning needs some serious help. The poles that were in there look to be a random gathering of a bunch of poles and none of it make sense! Can someone please take a picture of their poles so i can see what i am needing to find or where to get them if they know?

I just got my hands on a pretty well taken care of 1987 Skamper 210.
No leaks ever and canvas and screens is in great almost new shape.
Had tiny mice issue 1 time but owner replaced the mats.
It has the stove and sink along with water tank parts removed.
I would like to redo these items.
Anyone have photos or ideas on how to redo them?
Looking for budget friendly revamp ideas.

Also how do you get the heater to work?

I can post some photos tomorrow.

Hi everyone!!
We bought a 1999 Skamper Sport 17B a few months ago and taking it out this weekend! SUPER EXCITED. My fiancé said he can’t seem to locate the water reservoir? Not sure if these have them? It’s our first camper and don’t think much works on it but also not sure how to test anything to figure it all out.

Any thoughts or feedback is appreciated.

Heading out on Friday with our 5year old, 7 month old and our golden doodle! 🏕

I believe i have the same one as you and in mine, the tank for the water was under the small bench. I took mine out as i wont use it and that could have been done to yours.

Different Skamper model here, but our tank is also located under one of the dinette benches.

Welcome, hope you all have a great first trip!

1998 Skamper 23L. Renovations and pics coming in future. I have redone several Apache pop-ups but my first venture into canvas pop-ups. Inherited it and has been on the to-do list since we took possession but life has gotten in the way. LOL Time to get it done and live life !!! If anyone has tire/wheel specs, it would be appreciated. Previous owner put new wheels and tires on it but they seem a little narrow compared to what I have used in the past. Thanks in advance.

Welcome!
99 Skamper Vision 23L here, this is what came on mine when we bought it last Spring. She's taken us a few thousand miles so far, so I'm hoping this is the right size!

1991 Skamper M 170c, it was free, the roof is in good shape having the canvas redone. Looking for ideas to redo the roof corner caps because I can't find any, if anyone has suggestions or ideas please let me know.

Thanks so much for the info. Looks like mine are a lil smaller. There might have been a size change. At one time, I found a spec sheet/brochure online but for the life of me I can't find it but will keep trying. When I do I'll let you know.
