Comments on Burro~

[Donna D.]

I never thought I would switch to anything but an Airstream but I am more excited about this Burro than I ever was about the Airstream.

Good Choice! We love converts

In regards to the bed size, we do not have cushions for ours yet, so we took the spare bedroom's full size mattress and used it in our egg. Because of the curvature of the dinette/bed space in the egg we had about 6" on either end, and about the same under the back window.

I bought a king size foam mattress from IKEA and will be making the dinette/bed cushions with it...eventually.

[D Shubel]

And in regards to choice... we were looking for either a Burro or Uhaul because of their fiberglass walls and the convenince of cleaning off labrador mud puddle spray from walls. When we camp, Moose is in a constant state of wetness.

It will be nice to have a lot of room in the Burro. I am only 5'2" so I don't have to worry about bumping my head. In our Serro Scotty my husbands head wanted to hit the ceiling so I know he will be happy with the Burro. Did the older scamps or casitas ever have the inside fiberglass walls without carpet? I saw a picture of a 2002 Oxygen trailer(believe that was the name)I loved the inside of it but I believe they are no longer made just like the Burro. Is casita and scamp lone survivors of the only ones being around a long time and still in buisness?

[Denise M.]

Does anyone know where I can find more information or pictures of the Burro. I would like to see more pictures, and information on the history of the trailer. Thanks!

OK, Gina... it's YOUR turn to do the "History of Burro"... I think I recited it last time!

I hope it was better than your History of the Trail Mite.

[Mary F]

Okay, I think I found it (Roger's synopsis of the Burro history), in this Burro Trailer Company topic.

[Gina D.]

I think I got it wrong last time.

You are the master!

[Roger H]

I hope it was better than your History of the Trail Mite.

And I swear... every word of it was true!

I have read Burro has been out of buisness a few years. There is still a Burro website. I wonder what happened?? Scamp and Casita are still going strong.

[Denise M.]

I am wondering what the Burro's sold new for. Does anyone know what the 1999 17 foot model would have cost brand new? They seem to have a very good resale value.

[Nancy Reeves]

Denise, If you do not like it, I will take it off your hands. I live in KY and would love to visit your camper when you get it. My husband and I are looking for a 13ft. We like the burro or U-Haul, but will be happy with a Scamp.

All molded lightweight fiberglass RV's that are well maintained have a high resale value (in comparison to stickies)

[CindyL]

Nancy,

There is a 13' UHaul on ebay right now.

I have the original paperwork on mine. (I am the second owner)

With all the bells and whistles, it was 11k.

[Nancy Reeves]

We are checking on 2 uhauls that are on Ebay right now. Does anyone know who made them? They look like they were made by Burro

[Roger H]

Nancy, they are similar in construction, but UHaul was built in a half-dozen factories by various manufacturers for the UHaul company as a line of rental campers. Burro has been built by three different companies in three locations. The three companies who built Burro have no connection to one another, and so far as I know, none of them were connected with UHaul.

Can't wait to get the Burro. Does anyone know any great campgrounds to visit on the eastcoast.
