Scamp 13' small travel trailer

If you like the idea of a small lightweight trailer without the inconvenient setup, then the Scamp 13' might be just right for you.  Scamp is a family owned business from central Minnesota which has been making compact travel trailers since 1971.

Scamp advises Roaming Times that they will produce about 450 travel trailers this year and waiting time is about 2 months from ordering directly from the factory.

Scamp trailers are very lightweight, and are designed to be easily towed by small cars and trucks. The aerodynamic design assures high fuel efficiency.  Virtually all Scamp trailers are custom made with the features desired by the new owners.  The Scamp Custom Shop allows an endless variety of design options.

Scamp says: "Compact and affordable, the Scamp 13' is great for couples or small families. The front sofa converts to bunk beds, and the rear dining area converts to a double bed, providing sleeping space for four people.

The interior is upholstered in brown or blue cushions, brown carpet and beige curtains. Fiberglass cabinets and wood panel doors complete the interior."

s loving :   If your looking to buy one check out fiberglassrv forum. they have a lot available.

S. Loving :   I bought a used 13' Scamp 5+ yrs ago and love it!! It has everything you need. I towed it with my 99 Kia Sportage. Never had any problems. It sleeps 4 comfortably, I think. If you need a little more space than the 16' might be for you. The 16' just has a little more space than the 13' but, still just as cute. If you find one, grab it. Their hard to find and definately worth every penny. Good luck!!

Thumper :   That sounds great. 2 BIG questions. What do you tow the trailer with? How much does the trailer weigh? Cheers!

2muchfreetime :   1999 Scamp 16' Just bought a used (less than 20 times) Scamp 16. Took it camping the next day. More than ample room for the 3 of us. Interior is in great shape, everything worked well. You can tell alot of thought went into the design of this camper. And with gas at $4 a gallon I enjoyed pulling it with my S-10 pickup. Bought it off a guy who got it from a friend who never used it. Got tons of positive comments and folks wanted to know if we wanted to sell it. I would love to get my hands on a couple more for a rehab and resell. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 5/5.

Byron :   Purchased a Scamp 13' about 2.5 years ago. I think this is one of the best purchases if not the best purchases I've ever made. Tows easily. Sets up in less than 10 minutes. More time for enjoying the outdoors. The furnace keeps us nice and warm in the winter. Plenty of ventilation in the summer. It's been just GREAT.

H and H :   To George. We need to but a very light weight travel trailer for just two people, with AC and with self contained toilet and water supply and dark water tanks... A microwave, dont need burners really. ARE there any with a generator? We would want one. thanks for any info you can give, anyone that can let us know , please do..

Gypcrose :   I didn't know that they still made these. Exactly what I'm looking for. Any dealers in the Rochester, NY area?

Didier :   I hear a lot of people in central to eastern Canada say that they wish there was a manufacturer of similar trailers to the Scamp Trillium and Boler in that area. I am in Ontario, have been a marine technician with a strong back ground in fiberglass and boat assembly and am thinking of starting a company that would build a similar trailer but each one would be custom built in ontario. I would also offer older fiberglass trailer refurbishing. I am trying to see what the demand would be for that. If anyone is interested in either this product and service or in investing please contact me at dcazorla@rogers.com Have a great day!

John A :   The reason they produced so few last year was because of a fire at the factory. They've rebuilt now and are back at full production. A great little trailer

George M Sutton :   I think these Scamps are great. The only problem I see is they produce so few. I know I tried to get a similar line from Canada called the Escape, I think, but they weren't taking on any Rv Dealers at the time. I try to specialist, and do carrying niche Rv products that are light-weight. I probably have the highest concentration of micro-light and ultra-light travel trailer in the nation. There is a strong trend towards fuel efficient towing with other products such as the TAB, TADA, Coyote Sports, Chalet, Takena, Hi-Lo, Airstream, TrailManor, and Bigfoot. That's my two cents, George
