Scamp Tour

Hi Everyone,

We've been considering/looking at a lightweight travel trailer.  Our tow vehicle rating is 3500#towing/280#hitch.  While there are a few out there (like r-pods) they get pretty heavy ptetty quickly and we'd rather not be right at our vehicle's max rating.  One day, on the 101, we saw a RAV4 towing the cutest little trailer. After a bit of research online,  wedetermined it was a scamp 13'.  After a bit more research on fiberglass "eggs" we determined that the scamp 13 with front wetbath would be perfect for us (on paper).... problem is we've never seen one on the inside and there are no dealers for new units and almost no used units on the market to look at.  The manufacturer suggested asking local owners for a tour of their scamp, so that's why we posted here... if there is anyone in the Los Angeles area with a 13' Scamp with wetbath who is willing to let us take a look (and maybe even give us your opinion of camping in the 13) please let us know.

Also, if anyone with the larger 16' unit (with bath) could chime in... are we correct in assuming a 16' when loaded with gear, propane, good, batteries, etc. will be too heavy for our tow vehicle (in particular the 280# tongue weight limit)? 

Thanks!

Scamp Tour

Hi John
A look at the SOI member directory shows about 2 dozen members in and around the Los Angeles area.  If you don’t  hear from any of them, you might consider a weekend trip to Quartzsite, Arizona in February.

The really BIG “egg” gathering will be held from February 6 - 12, 2017.  Last year there were 185+ eggs registered, with most brands, (including Scamps)  sizes, floor plans in attendance.  Most egg owners are more than happy to show off their trailers.  You can find complete information about Q in the forums (upcoming) section of this website.

Scamp Camp SW Tours

Hi John & Masami,

You should hear from some SOI members in your area, and as Earl mentions Quartzsite gathering is the grand daddy of Molded Fiberglass gatherings. You'll be able to see everything there. In the meantime, Scamp Camp SW is happening in December in Sedona, AZ and I believe we have every model of Scamp coming as well as a few others. Trailer tours there will be on Saturday morning.
