I voted, but I would have also voted for LED lighting, both interior and exterior, which was not an option.

I want a whole redo...A 20-22 ft dual axle 5th wheel with 6'2" interior height with a front to back queen bed. A little wider would be nice too.

What I really want is a Bigfoot!

Seriously it would be nice to have something big enough to full time in. Not everyone is D&L!

I pretty much like the way Scamps are made right now... My idea would be making it a little wider... they are all 6'8" wide.. which is pretty narrow... a little higher in height wouldn't hurt either.. I like the idea of 'dual' axles also..

I would ask for the only thing really missing in my present trailer: a queen or twin bed(s) oriented lengthwise so that getting in or out would not make it necessary to crawl over anyone.

Moving up from a 13 footer, I like the 17 Escape and not sure how I'd feel towing a 19 footer although I like the layout. Wish there were more of them here in Ont to look at.

We're with Per, it would be nice not to have to climb over the other person. I'd also add a generator(useful when it's necessary to run the generator so the AC will operate when boondocking)

We voted also!

Oh, that was fun. Do I get to pick my price, too? When do I pick it up?

PS Headed to pick up my actual trailer this weekend! Assuming all goes well, I will post about the trip and photos asap. :-)

I morphed my Fiber Stream into an imaginary 16' Escape, California Edition.

I still want to take advantage of the cheap $2 per year [b]PTI license plates.

Hmmm, In no particular order:

External cargo hatches to access the rear under-the-bench areas.

Fantastic Fan 3-speed with reverse.

Black-out window shades (reflective material to the outside).

Enclosed tongue box for the propane tank, battery and some storage.

Screen Door

Scissor-jacks on all four corners, hand crank (or cordless drill).

Reinforced "security locker" for those times when the lap-top, cameras, spotting scope & other valuables need to be left behind.

12V FM radio / stereo with IPod dock.

Corian counter-top

In-line water filter

Well thought out cabinets and drawers that use all of the precious cubic space available, with cubbys designed hold all the pots and pans, plates, bowls, utensils, etc. Under counter shelves built on drawer slides so that items at the back can be accessed.


So far I've managed to add most of these to our beloved Trail Mite and plan to do the rest in the future. Most of these would be great options to be able to factory order on a brand new egg.

Somehow I think my ideal Scamp would be an empty shell. I'd probably wind up replacing everything inside anyway.

For the basics, I'd like the settee/bed layout of the Casita Liberty (although the trailer would not have to be that long), and Ensolite (or other non-fuzzy or carpety) walls.

And the Boler taillights

While there is just room for this layout in a Boler 13 (with a front kitchen), the door placement prevents it as the passenger-side bed could only be about 5-1/2' long.
