Originally, the only trailer made by Scamp was the 13 foot trailer. The 16 foot Scamp was developed in 1978. Three years later the  19 foot fifth wheel was added. Now, you have a choice of  floor plans and options for 13 foot, 16 foot and 19 foot trailers.

All three sizes of Scamp trailers have been designed to be towed by the small cars, SUVs, vans, and trucks of today. The aerodynamic design assures high fuel efficiency. The trailer is lightweight and easy to maneuver. The hard shell fiberglass means it is well insulated for all season traveling.  The 16 foot Scamp weighs approximately 1750 pounds, with a hitch weight of approximately 165 pounds.

The Scamp has a full sized air conditioner as well as a bathroom module (one piece toilet, shower and sink with drain in floor).  The large dinette makes into a large bed.

The 19-foot 5th-wheel trailer adds a queen-sized loft bed and bunks. The inside of your Scamp may be customized and upgraded. If you want to get more information, to see other other floor plans, or to get a quote, visit ScampTrailers.com

Heartland created the MPG micro-lightweight travel trailer. There are four floorplans from which to choose  and four different exterior graphics colors and themes to suit you.  Can be towed by many of today’s popular crossover vehicles and smaller SUVs.  Below are just two floorplans and specifications for the MPG 181 and MPG 185.  For other plans and specs, please visit Heartland.

We had a wonderful time and will be writing up posts and posting pictures soon. Here is a picture of our new travel trailer: 21 feet long, one slide, full bath and walk around bed.

We just spent 3 weeks on a shakedown trip and we will be taking it back to the dealer to get some things examined.

The shakedown trip will be a saga . . . with the tale of the slide, the tale of the inside dripping A/C, the tale of the always full black water tank, the tale of the spare tire drop and the tale of the almost self-wreck.

Help Us Name Our New Trailer

Our last trailer was named Beauty (84 Prowler Regal) and she was pulled by the Beast (85 Ford Club Van XL). The truck we have now is named BBT (Big Black Truck), but we do not have a name for the Edge yet.

Please leave your suggestion in the comments.  If your suggestion is chosen, you will win $20 cash, paid through PayPal. If you do not have PayPal, we will work it out.  Contest open until May 31, 2009 at midnight, CST.

Name Our Edge M21 and Win $20

r•pod by Forest River

RP-175 Floor Plan

• Forest River started production of r-pod lightweight travel trailers in October 2008.
• The walls on the r-pod are 2-inch gel-coated fiberglass.
• Only the rear window seals, A/C and TV antenna penetrate the seamless fiberglass barrier.
• The r-pods are manufactured with low formaldehyde panels that comply to F-Four Star emissions.
• The inside height is 78 inches.

I really like the r-pod 175 with the slide and queen bed.  They have just started to manufacture these, so they are selling like the proverbial hotcakes.
