Roadtrip Adventures Await! Experience the PNW courtside.

Host was friendly, supportive,, and flexible. The trailer was exactly as I expected it to be based on the listing details and the host’s tutorial video.

The purpose of this trip was to see if the 13' 1200 lb. Scamp could be towed by a KIA Niro EV with a 2000 lb/200 lb tow capacity ratings from North Bend to La Connor and back. I wanted to see if a Scamp could meet our needs and expectations for a trip. BTW, the top of the 2" hitch ball must be 17" off the ground for the trailer to sit level while being towed. It rained overnight, and I was thankful we were in a nice dry warm trailer. I was also trying to determine how comfortable a weekend in the Scamp might be, or how it might be used for a week away for business. Think of this as an R&D trip. Brendan asked knowledgeable questions about our trip. This was used to make gentle helpful suggestions to make our trip complete and comfortable. Brendan also provided a youtube link to a walkthrough video he made describing the trailer features and setup. It worked out well; Brendan is a great host! The Trailer was clean, and I was quite pleased with the full bed setup option I added for the 44" wide bed. The bed blanket was comfortable and warm, and allowed maximizing the available 44" wide shared bed space, as opposed to trying to make two sleeping bags work. I'm 5'10" 220 lbs and the trailer is wide enough that I was comfortable, not cramped, but also not spacious. The Scamp doesn't have a hot water heater, but this is easily remedied with a pot full of water heated on the built in propane stove, or in the electric coffee pot I brought along for my trip, powered by shore power. I brought along other things to make it more like home; Duxtop Induction cooktop, full sized coffee pot, small 850W microwave, and a BlueTTI AC200L power pack to reduce the 120V outlet power load requirements to 15A (1800W) while running; +900W(max) coffee pot, +1600W(max) induction stove top, and +850W microwave, sometimes all at nearly the same time at different power settings. From the TT-30 (120V 30A trailer circuit) this left 15A at the power pole to charge the car at 1.8 KW (Level1 - lowest power EV charging, takes ~2-days for a full charge). Surprisingly, it all worked! The car would have been fully charged if I hadn't made trips to Burlington and Mt Vernon for supplies and lunch. As it was, the car was at 8% charge when I arrived, and 75% when I left with the trailer. A 35-minute stop at a Tesla Level 3 charging station in Bothell gave me the 80% charge (for $11). I wanted to drop the trailer in North Bend and make it back to Bothell without range anxiety. The car normally gets ~3.7+ mi/KWH on the freeway without the trailer, and ~2mi/KWH while pulling the trailer at 60mph in the right lane. A similar drop in range will be experienced with a gas-powered tow vehicle. Great trip, and I learned a lot, and had a good time!

Brendan was an amazing host, super friendly, responsive, and made the whole rental experience smooth and easy. The RV was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. Communication was fast and clear from start to finish. We had a great trip and would definitely rent from Brendan again. Highly recommend! La

Our trip with Brendan's Scamp was excellent! I have limited experience when it comes to towing and Brendan took the time to answer several questions; both before our reservation and during pickup. Really, could not have asked for a better host. Towing the Scamp was also pleasant. We love our 2022 4Runner, but know that it is not the best tow vehicle. That said, this lightweight camper did not present any issues. Easy to get on the hitch, tow, and back into our campsite.

Brendan made the process easy, answered all our questions. The camper had everything we needed and was mechanically sound. Tows easily. Sleeping area is very cozy for two people. If you like a soft bed you might add a mattress topper. Would rent again!
