Will I be dis-membered?

Postby sagebrush » Sun Apr 06, 2014 8:10 pm

Dis-owned :NC Dis-enfranchised :NC Dis-teardroped?????

Lovely Assistant and I wanted something larger for longer trips. I thought about building a Widget or enlarging a teardrop profile to make it standy sized. Then Lovely Assistant gave me that "LOOK" and stated :thumbdown: "YOU HAVE ENOUGH PROJECTS"

Soooo............
We found a 1979 Scamp 16' (13 'body) 'bout 10 minutes from our house ( right place, right time , right price)

Around these parts anything less than 35' is considered a "small" trailer.
How about in TnTTT land? :thinking: Am I going to be dis-membered? :frightened: Will Slow let us attend Walk the Winds 2014 ?

It's OK Will. As long as you keep your teardrop for those times you camp alone you should be fine.

Nice find! Have fun making it your own. Slow will understand.....

You're safe; no one will force you to Scamp-er off.
Took me a few minutes to realize that someone didn't do a weird patch job on the roof: it is SNOW.
DH is currently lusting for a Casita.
Enjoy your new project!

Nice score. And no, this forum is about all "Micro Campers", you are always welcome here! Another great site for those is fiberglassrv.com

Will, welcome to the dark side and it looks like a great acquisition. We changed from a teardrop to a 13 ft (10 ft box) Serro Scotty. It's kinda nice putting clothes on standing up and having somewhere to go when the weather is less than sunny. Have Fun!

We bought a CT13 Uhaul fiberglass camper a couple years ago. We took it south for the winter the last two years. Looked at a Scamp 16 last year but it was too heavy for our tow vehicle. Still own and use our teardrop, won't ever part with it. fiberglassrv.com is a site devoted to all fiberglass trailers. Not as friendly as here, seems to be a lot of controversy there, but also some good info if you can pick it out.

Nice, My dream trailer is either a 13 or 16 foot Scamp with the bathroom. I just really like their trailers.

A 13 with a bathroom would be real small inside. Parkliner makes a nice 15' fiberglass camper. They've had some design issues and communication problems but they may have been worked out by now.

Congratulations on your new project, Will. :thumbsup:
Now, maybe you and your lovely assistant will travel more and come out to Calyfornya for a gathering and a visit! :D

Tiny is up to interpretation.

I wanted something a bit bigger, so I got my Cricket. A great decision as it turns out.

Good luck with your Scamp, they are pretty cool and have a cult following.
