Hey guys checking in and proud to report I'm a new
Scamp owner!
I left Charlotte, NC on Friday night, got into Biloxi, MS at 4am Sat, slept till 830am, went to check out trailer, hook up and tow away, and am on my last stop before Kansas City (destination) and its 1:30am on Sunday. Needless to say I'm dragging a bit.
First impressions, these trailers are sweet!
The trailer has been behind my Tacoma for about 900 miles now. Tows like a dream, only feel it on decent hills. My mileage has taken a dip because of the wind resistance I'm assuming, not the
weight.
Ok, so about the trailer which I will post in more detail later on my computer, but only issue I ran into when checking it out and hooking it up, the
electrical 4 pin plug wasn't log enough to reach my truck. I drove about 3 miles to the part store with no
lights (I know, i know) and got an extender. Hooked it up, still no
lights. Don't have my multimeter to check it so just went in and got a set of magnetic tow
lights for the trailer bumper and off we went. I will deal with wiring when I get back.
I had quite a bit of stuff in my truck so I figured I'd put it in the trailer so my brother and I could stretch out a little. On our second stop I took a look in the trailer and stuff was EVERYWHERE! Guess I probably need to consider securing stuff!
One more thing, maybe someone can speak to this. I've noticed on bumpy roads, etc, I may get some rocking back and forth of the trailer. Not side to side but back and then forward towards the tongue. Maybe it's because it's empty, maybe I need to slow down, maybe something else? Probably why our stuff was all over the place!!
Will post more tomorrow after I clean it out a little bit.
