I would disagree somewhat, Robert. Fully encased floors can rot. Screw holes, cracks, and other openings can create openings for water to enter. Once in, there's no way out. I have seen threads...

Similar in concept and price (comparably equipped), but different in many details. Both are riveted. If you do a "Site Search/Google" (bottom of the search menu) on "Scamp vs. Casita" you should...

Yes. I just replaced the gravel guard hardware on my 9-year-old Scamp as it was starting to rust. Guessing it would rust faster in a more humid climate. I found out after I had installed the new...

The rivets used at the factory are aluminum, so they won't rust. However, some of the body hardware (gravel guard, door holdback, hinge bolts, for example) is low-grade steel, so that's where the...

Same experience here- condensation on windows, but none on the headliner.

But the referenced post was about Casitas, which use foam-backed carpet, not marine headliner ("rat fur") over foil...

Armadillo pricing appears comparable to Happier Camper after you factor in the exchange rate. Both are high end 13'ers, though very different in concept. I agree, though- I'd rather have a large...

There's a balance out there somewhere, different for each person and travel style, between style and function, pride of ownership and ostentation. Lots of trailers look beautiful when they're empty...

You won't have to stick around long before you'll be watching re-runs. Kind of like Gone With the Wind, except it plays quarterly instead of annually. :D

That's really nice, Raspy. Is that a single piece of stainless that turns up at the back and wraps down in front?

Reminds me of this 13' Scamp that sold a while back:

Pretty much, except I see little need for 12V operation of a fridge. Absorption fridges are battery hogs on 12V, and you can do everything you need on LP or 110V. If you plan 12V operation of a...

For me the problem with most dinettes is not so much the foam as the bolt upright angle of the backrest. The front sofa of our Scamp has an angled backrest, and oh, the difference it makes.

I would have a really hard time paying that kind of money for the smaller Oliver. It has pretty much the same layout as a Casita 17 Spirit Deluxe and shares its limitations- crawl-over bed, limited...

The Scamp 19 is a fifth wheel style, and Paul's comment had to do with total rig length- trailer and tug. Truck plus 16' bumper pull is about the same total length as truck plus 19' fifth wheel.

What trailer to buy?

I will also suggest taking a look at Parkliner. Their new model has a sleek, all-molded interior and retro-styled shape that might appease your wife. It's only 15-16' long, so it should be an easy...

What trailer to buy?

The limitations of the Scamp side dinette are (1) the main dinette bed is only 45" wide, so tight for 2, and (2) no counter space in the galley. The floor has not been a problem for me.
