Ha ha!!...Like a dream, even on black ice going down and 30 mph wind coming home. Glad I had the electric brakes though!!

Do you know what YOUR Scamp weighs?
I'm familiar with the dry weights posted on the Scamp website. Would like to know if you have an exact weight from a scale with the options and fully loaded. Exact weight is an issue for me.
Thanks.

Hi Vince...no, I do not have"exact weights". I've only used the Scamp 3 times and it pulls great fully loaded. Never a concern for me. Our last trip, I filled the tank with water, clothes and supplies for 10 days, big bikes on the back, etc. and it pulled great behind my 6 cyl jeep Wrangler. Check out "trailer weights in the real world" thread on this site for some good info.

You headed the wrong way Harry. I notice your Tenn pillows. That is where I want to go. I am in Florida now but waiting on the wife (job).
Florida was nice at first but I don't want to be here any longer than I have to be.

Ha Ha Shawn...that, my friend, is a matter of perspective. I grew up in Syracuse, college in Virginia, then Ky, then Tennessee, now Gulf Shores, All The years of playing sports necessitate (bones) that I get to a climate where I can wear shorts year round. Best of luck getting to where you want to be!!

Harry, I have lived all over the the USA. Your right, it is a matter of personal likes ect ect. And yes I do wear shorts year around. But I found after the years in Florida I miss the good home town people and the hills. Florida is flat as it is long. Nothing but pine or palm trees. Never saw so many snakes in my life! Seems like everyone around me is from NY.
I was born in St Louis and found the South is where I should be. I like Florida but rather be in the KY or Ten area. Good on ya and the best of luck
