Smile Anyone near Nashville? Just want to SEE a Casita, scamp or similar in person...

Hi there
I am in the market (I think!) for a fiberglass travel trailer. The only issue is, I can't seem to find any to even see in person. I live near Nashville, TN. If anyone has a Casita, Scamp or the like and would be willing for me to come by and just take a look at it, I would really appreciate it.

We have had a "regular" (aluminum siding etc.) TT for about a year and love it. The only issue is that it is too large for us at this point.

We are seriously considering a fiberglass travel trailer and the Scamps and Casitas are highest on the list. We just want to get to see one and step inside one before we pull the trigger and (potentially) drive half way across the country to pick it up

Thanks so much in advance for considering. I look forward to hearing from you.l

How about an Escape? We live about 45 minutes south of Nashville, if you would be interested in seeing our 19.

Or, if you want to see several different fiberglass campers at one place, we will be having a small egg gathering at Henry Horton State park May 16th - the 19th. I know for sure there will be a Casita or two there. Probably a scamp too.

The Oliver factory is about an hour and a half away from you in Hohenwald. Don’t decide on a brand until you’ve seen one of them. They will take you through the factory to see the ultimate fiberglass trailer being built.

Welcome to the forum. You can also contact the manufacture's to get referrals for owners that are close to you and willing to show you their TTs. As others have said, a rally is really the place to go to get a good look/info on many brands & layouts, one trip instead many. Good luck in your search .

I'll be at the Townsend rally with a 2017 Escape 21, friends will be there with a 2010 Scamp 16. I'm sure there will be many other examples...

I live in Columbia, TN. and own a 13' Scamp. Not sure what size you're looking for. You dont have to attend a rally to see this one. Just PM me and we'll go from there if you're interested.

I live in Lebanon, TN near the Nashville Super speedway off 840 and Couchville Pike. I have a 2013 Casita Spirit Deluxe 17', it has a lot of modifications. You can come to see it. I just bought a 2019 Big Foot 25RQ, you can look at that also. Just email me to set a time up.

The various brands are not very similar. Scamp is different than Cadita which is different than Escape and so on. Rallies are the best way to see several brands at one time.

We made the mistake of buying the trailer first then going to a rally. There we found the brand and size we should have bought. Oops!!

Hi Michael,

We live in Bowling Green, KY about an hour north of Nashville. We will also attend the Townsend Eggursion Gathering from April 10 to 16. We have a modified ‘05 Casita 17’ Freedom Deluxe. Let me know if you are ever up this way.

Take care,

Dean
