I am so glad I came across your video. I have a 1964 scotty in my driveway. Shes beautiful (her name is Wanda)& i can't wait to give her a new life. After all, she and I are the same age. At least one of us deserves a facelift! Thank you so much for the information!❤
Very cool. Thank you for watching.
Rob, you had mentioned in the first video about this Scotty, that the walls were shorter than the ones built at the Irwin plant. Maybe that's why they made the dropdown floor deeper, to compensate for the wall height. I have a 15ft gaucho model built at the Ashburn plant, but there is no difference in the height of the walls than any other Scotty I've owned. That's an interesting trailer for sure. Thanks for the videos. I enjoy them all.
I think you're right.
This stage if the build is really interesting, because we are seeing literally the soul of this camper. That Scotty actually has a very solid well made frame under it. It looks like it was designed and purposely built for long term strength and durability. That and the floor structure are very good. That was not a flimsy chintzy quickie cheap trailer build. It’s pretty darn stout. I am really looking forward to see what that frame looks like once it’s cleaned up and painted.
The plywood used on the floor looks like it was some really good stuff! How thick is it and how many layers of veneers does it have?
I agree about the frame.
Great video! That's so weird/interesting about the deep drop-down. I wonder if that makes it even more difficult to deal with on uneven ground.
It seems like it would.
When I see you with just the frame I start thinking of possible modifications that could be done at that point. Things like making it longer, wider, or taller. Then I wonder how that would effect the rest of the camper. Would it need a beefer axel or a stronger frame?
If someone brought you a camper to restore and asked for modifications, would you do them?
I would take it to a welder. Welders are very pricey
Hi Rob.
Just curious. What is the ground clearance under that 11 inch drop floor to the ground? It looks a bit tight there.
That coil torsion spring trailer suspension is quite interesting. A very compact design. It’s actually a pretty cool feature on these trailers.
I'll have to measure but it is not much.
Were the sidewalls of that trailer made from a single sheet of 5/8ths plywood? That is some spendy stuff if it was!
Yes! Hard to believe
My local lumber yards laughed at me when I asked about sourcing 5'x10' plywood which I know they exist in the construction industry. I can only imagine what they would have said if I was looking for a bigger piece yet..

I’ve got a question Rob I’m rebuilding a 1971 Scotty Highlander do you think that I could put a deck on the very back of it so that I can tow my four wheeler do you think the frame is strong enough for a 400 pound four wheeler
You don't want the back end heavy. Could cause problem in towing.
Due to the Scotty’s weight and very short wheelbase along with its weight distribution, building an extension or deck on the back of it to carry a 300 plus pound 4 wheeler. Or even a motorcycle is a bad idea. A Scotty sportsman class probably weighs between 1500 and 1900 pounds per the specs I looked up. With a tongue weight of 175 to 300 pounds. You toss on a 4 wheeler behind the bumper, no more tongue weight. Your into tongue lift territory. And trailer wig wag.
