In my younger years and when I had my boy to accompany me, we made many MANY trips in our 78 Scamp cross country and back and had many adventures and I didn't mind the driving. Nowadays though he is all grown up with his own family so it's just me and the dog. Oh how times have changed!
Greetings Jaye, I will ditto what Greg just reported. I had my 16' Lil' Nut Scamp delivered here to Northern California in June. I found no problems on arrival and it arrived when they said it would. The couple who pulled it out here even spent time going over the important things to watch for. They even gave a demonstration on setting up the awning. In 2007 my brother and I traveled to Backus to pick up a 19' Scamp 5er. We got to see the new factory and observe how the trailers are constructed. I knew what I was getting this time so figured I didn't need another trip to Backus. I figured it would cost about the same by having it delivered as the expense of driving to Backus again. Oh yes, another welcome to the clubhouse. - - Earl A
Welcome aboard Jaye. We too have a Scamp, a 2008 16 and just love it. Our idea of a trailer starts with the bathroom/shower, and goes from there! We too would NEVER not have a bathroom/shower. Hope to see you at a gathering, or just meeting up some where in this great country.
We got our 13 footer in May. We spend the first nite at a lake campground just behind the Scamp factory. We met folks from Madison and Alaska in town pick to up their Scamps. The second nite we decided to spend the nite at Costco (upgrade from Walmart). It was not allowed but a wonderful lady who manages the bakery said we could camp on her 20 acre farm. We had a great evening - i cooked Colombian arepas and she opened a bottle of wine. In the morning she gave us fresh eggs. The trip back to Atlanta way great, especially along the Mississippi river from Red Wing south.
A hearty congratulations and welcome to the clubhouse! You shall find fine folks here, ready to share ideas, improvements, options, and new ideas for fun new additions to your Scamp. We personally have made many, as can be viewed on this Forum. We are excited for you and your new Scamp and anxious to read of your travels.
Well, how exciting to have a NEW Scamp and the travel season now. I realize you are a Scamp veteran so you know the ways and means of tiny camping. We look forward to your pictures and stories of your travels.
Hope everything went well with delivery. My husband and I went to backups and saw how they were made. Great and saw lots of scamps especially the 13 and 16 foot. Not too many 19 on the lot but they are a great trailer thru and thru.
I live in Scamp's delivery zone 3, and to save a little on delivery charges I met the delivery driver in the parking lot of Cabela's in Michigan, zone 2 near the line to zone 3.
The cost to drive out to Backus and back coupled with my wife's arthritis it was better the have delivered. The factory gave me the cell phone number of the delivery driver and we timed our meeting. Of course he went over everything with me and was quite knowledgeable.

For all of the info. I would LOVE to tour the factory sometime, but sometime else, when I am all set up in my new Scamp and better prepared!
