Scamp Travel Trailers & Fifth Wheels for Sale

Scamp has been building lightweight molded-fiberglass travel trailers in Backus, Minnesota since 1972 under family-owned Eveland's Inc., and the formula has barely changed because it works. Each Scamp is a smooth, two-piece fiberglass shell with no seams across the roof to leak, built to order and sold factory-direct rather than through a dealer network. The lineup is small and focused: a 13-foot trailer that starts around 1,600 pounds dry, a roomier 16-foot trailer (offered in a standard and a wood-trimmed Deluxe layout) that still stays under most half-ton and many SUV tow ratings, and a 19-foot fifth wheel that is widely called the smallest production fifth wheel you can buy. The honest appeal is real and easy to state: these trailers are genuinely light enough to tow behind small SUVs and even some cars, the molded shell shrugs off the water-intrusion problems that plague stick-and-aluminum trailers, and resale value is exceptional — clean used Scamps routinely sell for close to, and sometimes more than, what they cost new. The equally honest caveats: Scamps are the budget end of the molded-fiberglass world, so finishes are simple, interior space is tight, and owners do report occasional quality-control misses like missing hardware or leaks around rivets and seals on a new build. The no-leak reputation is also a bit of a myth — the seamless shell helps, but windows, vents, and fasteners still need maintenance. Below is the current Scamp range with real specs, real layouts, and a candid read on what owners love and what to watch — so you can shop a Scamp knowing exactly what you are getting.

Here's the part the lot won't tell you: the best Scamp deals are usually two to four years old. Let the first owner eat the steep early depreciation, then buy a trailer that's already been shaken down, with the bugs sorted and the records to prove it. That's exactly the kind of unit our RV buyer's agents hunt for, and we run an independent inspection on every one before you wire a dollar. Already own one and ready to move on? We'll list and sell it through our RV broker service for the retail number it's worth — not the wholesale gutting a dealer offers on trade.
