Hmmm, pretty well described my Scamp, except it did have a clean in-state title!

I don't mind doing a lit of the work. I never count my labor with hobbies. I just don't want to blow 5k on one that needs a complete restore. The one I went to see was covered in moldly carpet, had a chunk of fiberglass missing, tires were shot, door didn't fit well. I'm not looking for new, but I don't want a pos either.

When someone says "it's not new, but it's a good trailer in great condition.", that's what I expect to see, not something that MUBAR.

MUBAR
Messed up beyond all recognition.

How I Found My Trailer

Word of mouth.

I was on the brink of buying a brand new Scamp when my husband came home from work and said he'd mentioned the purchase at the lunch table and someone said "Ya know, I think so-and-so has something like that he's looking to sell".

Called the fellow the next day, he said he had a Trillium 4500 for which he was asking $1400.00. I decided that if my Kia could tow it, I'd buy it. It could, and I did. This was back in 2005, but even then prices were overheated at specialty sites like this one. There are still "willing buyer/willing seller" deals out there...last year I tipped a seeker here off by P.M. about a Scamp I saw for sale over in Eastern Washington at a VERY reasonable price. Just as with my own deal, both parties walked away completely satisfied with the bargain.

Just tell everyone you know what you're looking for and you might be surprised what turns up.

Here's another one. This one is low priced but is a fixer upper.

Don't despair! I ended up finding one in my price range, actually some below, and in good shape. It took 2 years but finally found it on fb local swap and sell site (I live in TX but summer in WY and found it there). I was disappointed several times over those 2 years and my first hope was actually a scammer. The good thing is that those two years actually gave me time to do my research and I felt more confident in my purchase. Good luck!
