We have a Scamp 13 and a larger tug than an Escape. It allows us to carry all the stuff that we enjoy while camping. With a small tug I would buy a 16 foot trailer especially if you have to have a bathroom and a shower. I don't want a Bathroom in a 13 foot trailer. We use campground facilities and use a portapotty when there are no facilities. I live in SoCal where the weather is mostly dry during the camping season. I would not want to be camping in a 13 foot trailer with a full bathroom during a 3 day rainy spell. Having to make the bed just to have a place to sit. Our bunk beds have been removed and the front couch can be a bed or a small dining table for 2. Rear table stays down as a bed 24/7.

Why would you have to make the bed to have a place to sit? We use ours as a couch, bed, a lounge area etc.
Before I would get rid of the bathroom I would get rid of the kitchen since most folks would rather see me COOK outside!
We do have an awning for rainy spells and we don't have to don raingear to make a trip to the bathroom or shower.
I'm real sure that it would take more time preparing to go both ways to the showerhouse than to convert the bed.
We always travel with the bed ready for sleep and have spent countless hours watching television and snacking on the bed, with our backs comfortably against the wall.

Evidently you have never seen / toured Floyd's 13 ft Scamp Deluxe !
I have had the honor and I will admit he has made what appears to be a small trailer into something that feels much larger , and far roomier. We also use the bathroom in our trailer far more than we use the kitchen . Personally , I would rather cook outside and my wife agrees.
