Almost every person who posts in this forum who is considering buying - or has already bought - a Scamp 19'.

Information is good. Lack of information is not so good, but misinformation is much worse. Check facts, and apply common sense liberally.

It shouldn't be; towing ball-hitch trailers with tow trucks is routine. It's pretty common for wheel-lift tow trucks to have a provision to mount a ball on the lift. As long as they can mount a 2" ball, they should have no problem towing a Scamp 19 with the goofy OEM 2" high-mounted coupler. They do have to lift it well off the ground to be level (or at least high enough to clear the landing gear feet), but that shouldn't be a problem.

The problem comes when a Scamp 19 owner calls a towing company and says something about a fifth-wheel, because it isn't one.

Privately owned trucks, of course, are highly unlikely to have a suitable hitch. Getting a friend to rescue your Scamp 19 would indeed be a PITA.
