Dear Travel Trailer Owners,
I am a Newbie to buying and owning a Travel Trailer and would like some feedback, so I can be confident and proud of making good decisions!
I want the freedom to choose were, my small dog and I can go for minimal costs while camping near my relations in California, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and experiencing travel trailer living. I have been in Texas since 1981.
Deciding which brand to buy has taken up many weeks of due diligence, comparing and searching! After seeing the thousands of travel trailers for sale, I find myself in a dilemma of indecision!
I don't want to make a costly mistake. Does anyone have any motivating good feedback?
Are Scamp Travel Trailers the best all around buy?
Thank you, Dan
That is very difficult to answer as we do not have enough information as to your wants, needs, limitations of your tow vehicle, how long will you be staying in it at any one time, your height, and what your budget is. We have had two 13’ Scamps (one standard model, and one Deluxe), and both were great for that particular time of life (first one was with two kids, the second without). Now that we are retired our wants/needs changed and we now have a Lil Snoozy (highly modified) because the floor plan really works for us. What ever all molded fiberglass trailer that you end up with should give you good service and have great resale value should you like to try some other brand or model. Best of luck with your search for the perfect trailer.

If you are looking at price only the answer is No. There are far more things to consider though.If it's just you and your dog and plan on using it primarily as a bedroom while, and are fine cooking outside a teardrop is a cheap way to go. You still can get AC a television etc. Scamps big plus is they are low maintaince compared to aluminum and high resale
What kept me away from a teardrop is the common setup of wall-to-wall mattress and imagining getting out of the rain with muddy boots on. Plus the chuck wagon style kitchen, which likewise is for sunny days.
That, and few trailers are light enough to be pulled with a 2000# capacity Jeep Wrangler.
Another consideration is the old maxim that you never buy your final rv the first time. If that turns out to be true for me, Scamps are very highly thought of and have a high resale value....just look at the monstrous class A rv's going for $10k used, when they cost $100k+ new!
If not now, when?
