Bonnie, one of the really cool things that Scamp owners do for prospective owners is to volunteer to allow folks to come and look at their trailer if they re nearby. A database of owners is maintained by the Scamp factory, and a call to them might find you a Scamp 19 nearby that you can see in person.

I bought a used Ford Ranger 3.0L V6 Automatic to pull my 19 Scamp 5th Wheel. Except for the big white thing hanging out in my rear-view, towing car rental in san diego the Scamp on a level road is almost like driving the Ranger alone. You just have to allow for extra space to merge and turn. Gas mileage without car rental in san diego the trailer is about 20, with about 15 mpg highway. The guy I bought the trailer from had a Tacoma V6 and said the same thing
One Gotcha on the Scamp 5W is the height of the sides of the pickup bed -- Full sized pickups in 4x4 with large tires may require a spacer welded between the axle and frame or may not even be towable with spacer -- Check with Scamp for the limitations.
Buddy, on Yahoo Scampers, has a used Scamp 5W for sale in Eastern Tennessee that he has gone thru and refurbished, including replacing all the rivets and screws (It s the Deluxe model with the real wood cabinets and they are fastened with wood screws, not rivets) -- He s a fussy guy, so I d expect car rental in san diego that rig to be in very good shape.
We have a Scamp5th and paid $11,000 2 years ago for a used 2002. It is in great shape and has the front bath. The front bath makes the upstairs very private as there is a wall there. The front bath is the deluxe which means it has wood cabinets and even though that looks good, it adds allot of weight and Scamp Skimped car rental in san diego on the glue assembling these cabinets and I have had to remove and re-glue several doors.
As far as the hitch: It is home made at the factory and any reputable welding car rental in san diego company could make you one for your pick-up. It bolts to the bed (4 bolts) and to the wheel well (4 bolts) on each side with a really heavy steel bar going between the 2 outside bolted braces where the 2 inch ball is bolted in the center. We pull ours with a 6 cyl Chevy S10 (2003 Automatic).
The selling price for used units seam to go up instead of down. Search the internet and be sure to look at www.nada.com even though the �Experts� say nada don�t know squat. car rental in san diego Not knowing car rental in san diego squat will give you some figure to start with and may be a good negotiating tool should you find a used one.
Yes: There is an air cooling situation with the upstairs but not a heat because heat rises and cool air remains low so it is best to have some sort of fan to move the cool air up. We clip one to the cook top and it forces the cold air up. As far as heat, you can regulate the amount of heat by just adjusting the thermostat to a much lower temp.
I can tow my 1986 Scamp 5th wheel with ease behind our Ranger / Mazda 2001 PU. It is white, so we are all Egg. I found it 250 miles away and across a Mountain Pass last fall . Due to a wireing mistake on the trailer jack by the previous owner , I had no brakes on the trip back. Rain, wind, heavy traffic, no problems even without the brakes , not that I would recomend that, but it was that stable. The hitch came with the trailer. The previous car rental in san diego owner had passed car rental in san diego away, but his relative and I switched it over in about 4 hours. It took us that long because we decided to anchor it to the frame rather than just the bed. My milage on I 90 Hwy 18 and I 5 etc was 17 mpg.

prior to the hack, we had pictures of a 5th wheel Scamp Deluxe with the bathroom all the way across the BACK of the trailer....it came from the factory that way. I have a 1988 16 Scamp Deluxe with sidebath. All the wood cabinets in my Scamp, are Maple. But, yes I do have the front goucho...or I should say...did. I ve changed that over to all storage and a bunk.
But, I ll concede Scamp may have changed to only building the deluxe with front bath NOW. If that s the case, that s too bad. The draw of ordering a deluxe was having the interior placement exactly the way a person wanted it, which isn t possible when having fiberglass cabinets.
