I bought it from elitemotoronline.

Thanks Tom for responding!

I have the same make as Tom and my experience is the same too. I'm in No. California and have pretty intense sun, quite a bit of winter rain, but no snow. Its held up well for the year I've had it. I don't use the zippered opening as much as Tom so don't need to replace the velcro. I give it a positive rating. It won't last as long as the sunbrella product, but for the money, I'm happy with it.

Yea, I was doing some projects inside when the weather was bad, so I clearly overused the Velcro. Under normal use, I'm sure that the Velcro is more than adequate. Just as a note, my version doesn't have the vent flap shown in other's photos, but it seems to breathe enough to avoid mildew growth while stored in a relatively humid climate.

I went to their site and they only make one for a 16 ft now. I'll see if I can find a quality one for my 13 ft near this price. I expect my climate to be similar to yours Linda, I hope the sunbrella one is not my only alternative!

I see a 16 foot cover listed : Deluxe Scamp 16' Travel Trailer camper Cover | eBay

[Hman66]

That's right but I need a 13 foot cover.

This? Deluxe Scamp 13' Travel Trailer camper Cover w Zipper Door Access | eBay

[Hman66]

Thanks for the link Tom. I saw the 16 ft but am not sure why my search on that site didn't find a 13 ft. I thought I searched the manufacturer as well...very strange. Your first link was for the 16 ft so...thank you. Ill order it today!!

[Hman66]

Yup, I'm not going crazy. When you go directly to "elitemotoronline" then put in the search bar " 13 ft travel trailer cover" only larger ones come up. Again, thanks for getting me to the right spot.

Since I just went through the 'find a cover that fits' exercise, I thought I would update this thread.
While the cover from elitemotoronline is still available on eBay ($150), another company (based in near-to-me Kent, WA) recently started selling this option:
https://classicaccessories.com/polyp...-trailer-cover at a list price of $167. I initially got one on Walmart.com for $90 with in-store pickup. But had to return it (wrong size= see below) and found a correct sized 'open box' on Amazon for around $50! (Only the outer box was opened; the inner box was still factory sealed.)
For the Scamp 13', you want the SMALL version (Model 1, 80294143101RT ) for 8'-10' molded fiberglass travel trailers. This despite me asking the manufacturer which size to get and getting a response telling me to buy the bigger one (Model 2 for 10'-13' molded fiberglass travel trailers, 80295153101RT). When I picked up the cover from Walmart, there's a diagram on the box showing both models and clearly the smaller one is the correct one for a Scamp 13'.
Anyway, after a return and reorder, the cover seems to be well made and fits nicely. It almost stretches enough to cover the propane cylinder regulator on the front tongue, but doing so puts stress on the back corner of the sun canopy tube. Even I, at 5'4", can put it on by myself. When you have it on correctly, the zippered door flap is in the correct place and the securing straps that run underneath the Scamp are easily accessible.
Be aware that the entire cover is NOT waterproof. In order to improve its breathability, only the top (white) part of the cover is waterproof. The grey side panels are breathable. In the rainy Seattle area, I plan to get the ShelterLogic 9x16 Monarc canopy to put over my little baby before the winter rains really set in.
I'll try to remember next spring to post about the cover's performance/durability.

I was unsure which size to get for my 13. Thanks for confirming this. I didn't want an extra three feet of fabric flapping in the breeze. I was going to order from Scamp, but it was $150 + $53 shipping. Sorry guys! Found it on the Walmart site for $98. (Calmark quoted me $630. I'm sure it's really purty!)

I'll be interested to hear how it holds up. I've heard stories that some of the economy covers only lasted a season. Since the Calmark typically lasts many seasons, it may end up being a better deal than it appears. Better finishing of seams on the underside means it should be kinder to the fiberglass.

A lot depends on your local conditions, so try and see. Hope you'll post a follow-up next year.
