Thank you all for the input!

We looked at some of the hybrid trailers, like KZ Sportsmen. It would have been okay weight-wise, but even harder than Scamp to tow in the wind. Right now we are...

Yes, the older models are lighter. Camplite 11 (14.5' long) were 1800-2000# dry, 2700# GVWR. Camplite 13 (16.5' long) that I'm looking at were 2250# dry, 3000# GVWR.

I still have a fascination...

Wow, those Casita options would be clearer if they said "Side Couch/Bunk Beds"! I imagine the kids will want to go out in a tent at some point (maybe 8-10yo), but we aren't there yet.

We really,...

Per the manual, our current towing limit is 3050# with 5 passengers (150# ea + 15# cargo). With 6 it is 2900# but then it drops off after that (hits GAWR and/or GCVW, I imagine). We hope to get...

Thanks for the discussion! :)

We very seriously considered whether we could just get an "instant" tent, plus some disc-o-bed bunk cots, and then we'd use the tailgate of the minivan like a...

That's very true. I think part of the problem, since we didn't pick the features from the factory, is that it's loaded in some ways that we don't use, but not in other ways (i.e. refrigerator) that...

We've had chances to boondock, but for some reason I just shy away from using the propane. Maybe if I had auto-switch auto-ignition appliances I would use it more? That's part of what I'm trying to...

Question Brainstorm Scamp update / alternative

We've had a 2013 16' Scamp (layout 4, with side bathroom) for a few seasons now. We bought it lightly used, so it wasn't necessarily our choices of options. Now that we know how we do (and don't) use...
