Scamp travel trailers are great option for people who are looking for small, lightweight campers that can be towed by small vehicles. They are a cute, fun RV option that is also quite practical.
Models of Scamp Travel Trailers
Scamp travel trailers are available in three different sizes. Each size is lightweight and designed for maximum aerodynamic effectiveness. They do not require large tow vehicles, are easy to pull and do not pose the same storage challenges as larger units.
13-Foot Unit
One of the smallest available recreational vehicles, the 13-foot Scamp model is a popular with individuals, couples and small families who want to enjoy the fun of camping without the hassle of towing a large RV. Thanks to a wise use of available space, this tiny travel trailer can sleep as many as four people.
The unit is outfitted with fiberglass cabinets, an upholstered sofa that transitions to a set of bunk beds, and a dining area that can easily be changed to a double bed. Complete specifications can be viewed on the manufacturer's website. Two standard floor plans are available, as well as two deluxe options.
16-Foot Model
The 16-foot Scamp model offers the convenience of the smaller unit with additional space for greater comfort. Like the 13-foot model, this unit is designed to accommodate up to four people.
