Hi Gillian...Wow, I made a post today with some issues with Scamp from our order this week. We too will be having it delivered a long way to the Gulf coast. I learned some things from your post like to make sure it comes on a flat bed trailer. If you have any other suggestions, and if you get the time to read my post, please send them to me. We are newbies and I have been hearing about problems to watch out for...thanks. H
