Hi Folks,
Been lurking awhile and wanted to come into the
light to say hello and introduce myself. I’m Jennifer. My partner, Drea, and I are in the market for a FG trailer. We have a 13-year-old daughter who will be camping with us for the next five years or so until she’s off in college. We were (and still are!) very drawn to the 13 foot Scamps, but suspect the three of us wouldn’t be happy in such a small space for long periods of time. We were fortunate enough to be able to stop by the New England Spring Fling in NH a few weeks ago, and we met some great folks and toured many fine trailers. We left there feeling like a 16 foot
Scamp would meet our needs nicely. We don’t feel like we need a bathroom. We’ve been tent campers and went cross country in a 1971 VW camper (though this was pre-kid) and feel like most of the places we’d be camping have toilets and showers that we don’t mind making the trek to. That said, we haven’t totally ruled it out, especially after meeting some folks at the
rally and hearing about how much they LOVED their bathrooms. We’re planning to do a lot of short weekend to one week trips around New England (lots of great spots here in Vermont and we love Maine, Cape Cod and anything near a beach!) and I have a fantasy of doing a much longer road trip next summer to some national parks out west for my 50th birthday. I’ve been in touch with Wayne, a salesman at
Scamp, and thinking about pulling the trigger and ordering a 16 foot, leaning toward layout 3, but considering 4. As I understand it, we can put down a deposit and place the order, and if a used trailer comes up before they start building, I can cancel and get a full refund. We’re currently shopping for a tow vehicle (which will make running out and picking up a used trailer much more feasible!) Anyway, that’s us and where we’re at. So thrilled to be a part of this community. I’ve been learning a lot already and we really enjoyed meeting so many great folks at the
rally in NH!
