Hey Nick. I'm from Hattiesburg. I remember when you used to do the weather on WDAM. Just discovered your UA-cam. I love Scamps. Thanks for the tour video. Hope to see more videos from you!
Hi Jerald. Thanks for the kind words! We loved our Scamp. But we did end up switching to a different camper during the pandemic. We wanted something with a separate shower/toilet.
You bet, I actually made this several months ago for potential buyers. I’ve had the video unlisted for months. Then I realized there may be people out there that would appreciate a tour.
This is the best video I have seen anyone do on a Scamp. Your rig is uncluttered so we can see everything. Great job! Did you buy another rig? What did you buy?
I wanted to look at this camper, but as soon as I saw that it has only one axle, I was done. Sorry, but I would never buy a camper with only one axle. Right now I have an 18 foot camper, but it has 2 axles. Had a blow out a while back and was glad that the camper had a second wheel to hold it up…..
So is this version called the “Bunk House” ? 🤔 Other 5th Wheel Scamps have a bathroom where the bench bunk is. Just wanted to know because I’m looking for the one with the bathroom and I was wondering so I can specify my searches 😌. Thank you for your efforts! God Bless you and your Family! ❤️😏🇺🇸🖖🏼
Hi Eric, Sorry, but I am not sure if it’s referred to as the “bunk house.” I can’t say I’ve heard anyone call it that before? Wish I could be of more help.
*I wonder how many times I could 'bash my head' on that hitch* *I also wonder why anyone really wants a 'giant egg with fur' inside'* *This 'Camper' would do well in Montana/Oregon/Washington and other 'Forest-y' States, anywhere else it would instantly become a 'Kenner Easy-Bake Oven' the moment the Sun's up in summer*
We have had our "furry egg" Scamp 5th wheel for 11 seasons. We have camped in 45F weather to 103F weather. Any camper is going to be an Easy Bake Oven in hot temperatures. Scamps are actually quite well insulated. That being said I would never get any type of camper w/o air conditioning. The nice thing about "egg" campers is they warm up fast and cool off fast. My roasting and freezing tent days are over. I like comfort now. The best thing about fiberglass egg campers is they hold their value, are easy to repair if damaged, and are light and easy to tow.
@@christineburchill2784 *Anyone telling me they were camping in a 'Scamp' at 103F. is 'stretching the truth' into a 'low Earth orbit'* *Any human inside that 'Egg w/Fur' without A/C or even a 'Maxx-Air' ceiling-fan would be 'praying for death ' while writing-out their 'Last Will And Testament' or the person involved is a 'human beef-jerky' that looks like they were born with cancer and weigh all of 86lbs.!* __________ *Uh...guess what?* *At 67 I've been 'around the block' so many times I wore a groove in the sidewalk, and telling me you 'dry-camped' anywhere in extreme temps without shore-power is a FANTASY!* ---------------- *I've seen several videos from 'Scamp' that shows exactly 'How It's Made' and there is no dedicated materials for insulation other than the 'R'-value of the given construction material(s)*
@@christineburchill2784 don't worry about him, haters are going to hate. I'm 67 and I just got back from car/tent camping at Ft Pickens National Park on Pensacola and Magnolia Beach in Texas in a Prius, (left 1 week before Hurricane Ida hit lol) It was 101 with 90% humidity, so I know you can do it. Besides that's what awnings and fans are for. Can be a bit of adventure! I live in SW missouri and I don't use AC in the house or car. On purpose and not for environmental reasons either, I just don't like AC except in extreme cases. Been looking at teardrops, Casitas and Scamps, but I really like tent camping, when I get to old for that then maybe! I've put over 30k miles on camping trips this year, almost enough! Enjoy your journeys! Ps- maybe someone should tell him about Solar Panels and solar power generators, 12v portable refrigerators and rechargeable Li battery fans!
This is a stupid question but I need to know. Is that a standard fifth wheel hitch or something different it looks smaller. What does it take to pull this will a half ton pick up work or do you need something bigger?
Hi Diane, That's not a stupid question. I did not install the original hitch, because I purchased the Scamp and my Tundra in a package deal. But I think it was a standard fifth wheel hitch modified with a regular 2-inch ball. You may need to explore some Scamp forums to learn all the hitch options. I know people do pull this camper with Toyota Tacomas and similar-sized trucks. Lightweight is a benefit of fiberglass.
I thought I would add to Nick's response - we have the Scamp 19' Deluxe (wood interior) We used to pull it with a 6 cylinder Ford Ranger. We pulled it in the mountains in CO with no problems. We then switched to a Ford F-150. It actually pulled better with the Ranger. We ended up changing out the tires and axle to raise it up for the F-150 so it pulled more level. Anyway they pull great with the small pickups, if you have a bigger truck get the different axle and tires.
What year and what is the length on this? Nice! Did, and I hope you got the cat out of the bathroom, saw kitty go into the shower, then heard the door shut. Just checking, I'm a cat mum. Hee
@@nickortego imagine how hard it is to clean! not like you can just wipe off the cieling or door! doors get really dirty, hand prints are always a problem! so who wants carpet on a door? that's gonna get awfully filthy and then need a SHAMPOOER to get it clean! what a ridiculous idea!
@@loyacehansen1510 We have used our 5th wheel Scamp for 11 seasons and it is still like new. While I realize the fabric on the walls isn't for everyone it really doesn't get dirty like you think it would. It really helps with sound and insulation. I have found the durability of a Scamp/Casita style fiberglass camper outweighs a traditional camper with panelling type walls. To hang things up we just velcro them on! I suppose if you did a lot of greasy cooking inside the camper it could be a problem but hey it is camping, cook outside :-D
Hi Laura, it sold, last year, but thank you for the selling/cleaning advice. The camper was 17 years old. The fridge would probably need to be replaced if those stains were a concern. Not sure what the new owners did?
Nice review but those bubs hanging from your ears are Very distracting ,Time to step up your game and get a wireless mike , the audio will be miles better 😉
Hi Phillip, I appreciate the guidance. I actually just did this real quick for some potential buyers, but I kept it online because there was some interest in the 19ft Scamp. I’m willing to take the embarrassment of the “bubs” if it helps someone out. Kind regards.
If there are any engineers watching this, I have a question : Could you set up the hitch system so a 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz SEL Premium w/2.5turbo all wheel drive could pull this unit ? Note, I know the cooler space in this truck would be unusable while pulling it and a 90 degree turn "may" be close
Am I the only one who expected to see a cat when he opened the oven?!? 😆
I did too! 🐈 at 12:50
no lol
Yes, I wondered that myself. 😂
@Daisy Fields the cat appears as he's showing the bathroom and then he closed it in the bathroom!😳
@Daisy Fields did you see that too?😳
I’ve never seen over head bed. Great presentation.
Thank you!
I love the Scamp 19" camper!!! Love the design and layout...I just think I would go for the Deluxe model.
We have the deluxe model - I would highly recommend it.
What are the differences?
Thank you for keeping the video up, have been interested in a 5TH wheel scamp. Nice thorough walkthrough.
Great tour and explanation of the Scamp.
Love to have one.
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for video, not many scamp 19th video online, cant wait to have my new one next year :D !!

@@nickortego Thanks again :D
This is the best video I have seen anyone do on a Scamp. Your rig is uncluttered so we can see everything. Great job! Did you buy another rig? What did you buy?
Hi Kelly. Thank you! Yes, we purchased a 25ft FC Airstream. We love it as well.
What a great video, thank you for keeping it up.
Thanks Joy!
Thank you! Great show!
Thanks Karen!
Love the scamp 19.
I love all the cubbie holes in these travelers!
I love that you call them travelers!!
Best scamp walk through ever!
Thanks Craig! Glad it was helpful.
Great video Nick. Thank's for a good tour
Thank you. You’re welcome.
Love the cat!!
Thanks!
Nice sink. Like how big it is
You said “I have a cat in here” as you opened the oven door!!!! Yikes. I like the “Tiffany Blue” accents!
I wanted to look at this camper, but as soon as I saw that it has only one axle, I was done. Sorry, but I would never buy a camper with only one axle. Right now I have an 18 foot camper, but it has 2 axles. Had a blow out a while back and was glad that the camper had a second wheel to hold it up…..
I thought you had your cat in oven.....ewwwe. Glad you clarified that. Lol
Was wondering where is the shelving & outlets for capsule, lamp, outlits for phones & other plugins needed at the bed?
Looks great
Thank you
Scamps are made in my home town.
I never seen a goose neck camper before Usually a fifth wheel that’s neet
So is this version called the “Bunk House” ? 🤔 Other 5th Wheel Scamps have a bathroom where the bench bunk is. Just wanted to know because I’m looking for the one with the bathroom and I was wondering so I can specify my searches 😌. Thank you for your efforts! God Bless you and your Family! ❤️😏🇺🇸🖖🏼

Did you leave the cat in the bathroom I didn't see it come out
What model year is this? Great tour. I read in the comments you are a TV weatherman. That explains the professional-sounding walk-through! 👍
Thank you Jody. It was a 2003 19ft Scamp. I'm not sure on the exact model.
Maybe next time you could show mre of the camper like maybe not get so close. Love your ho.e
This is such a great video, thank you for the thorough tour! Just curious, what did it sell for?
Like it as larger than the 13’ one which is cramped.
Nice.👍
Awesome Job
Thanks Jay
Great walk thru vid Nick. What year was this model ? I know it's sold. I might go with an Alaskan 10' cabover. thx.
Hi, This was a 2003.
Did you as the hitch receiver for yours if you know the measurements from the center of the ball to the back of the bumper
Go Nick!
What year? We have a 16 Deluxe with same refrigerator, have a few questions. Ours seems to run only on gas or 120v shore power. Ours is 1996
How old is your scamp??

nice tour..how easy is it to hook up to a truck bed mount? good luck with sale.
Thank you. I could hook it on my own, but it helps to have someone lower and raise the tailgate as you line up the ball with the hitch
I wouldn’t run the ac on an extension cord that could start a fire. Don’t ask how I know. I’ve been in the rv industry for 6 years.
nice bathrm...
Nice!
If you decide to sell I’d buy on the spot

How much? How old. Do you keep all mechanics in working order,brakes, tuneup system etc. wipers, tires rotated, etc...? Thank you.
Hi Babs, it was a 2003. It sold already.
so cool
What year and what is the length on this? Nice! Did, and I hope you got the cat out of the bathroom, saw kitty go into the shower, then heard the door shut. Just checking, I'm a cat mum. Hee
Hi Sandra, It was a 2003, 19ft Scamp. Yes, Olive, the cat was ok.
@@nickortego Thanks much Nick!
Nice camper. Did u accidently lock your cat in the bathroom while doing the tour ? 🚐🐈⭐
It’s not a hot water heater, it’s a water heater!
You’re right Darl. Thank you for taking the time correct the record on this.
Did you shut the cat In The bathroom ?’ Nice unit, weight, and price, please,
Hi Mildred, It had a dry weight of about 2400lbs. We actually sold this camper about a year ago.
how much?
Scamps are good for one person and their small dog. Couldn’t stand wall to wall people.
How much did it sell for ?
It was around 12k I think?
@@nickortego thank you nick! how tall are you? what is the headroom like?
Why do they use that hairy material on the inside? After a little while it just looks dingy and dirty
Yeah, it does. I think it’s just an inexpensive way to insulate.
What year is your Scamp?
how much you sold it for . nice
How much are you asking for it.
Is that like carpet all over the walls? ? ? looks dingy/dirty . .(sorta like the freezer) Anyone know how much he was asking?
Yes, the carpet on the walls is standard on Scamps. Clearly, it’s not for everyone. 😂
Do they make a 19 ft travel trailer?
Hi Michael, I don’t believe. There is a 16 foot version.
What’s the price?
Hi Cheryl, it sold over a year ago. I just kept this up if people need to see a walkthrough.
@@nickortego thank you!
you locked the cat in the bathroom.
As a single person, I have thought about living in a small tailer. Downsize my life.
Is this for sale? Did it sell?
Hi Jennifer, Yes, it already sold. Good luck in your search!
@@nickortego good for you, glad you found some one to buy. It’s really nice.
sold??
Yes, it sold.
How much $$?
Hi Lala, it sold last year.
Hot water heater? If the water is hot why would you heat it?
You got me.
I hope you let the cat out of the shower
EEEEWWWW... carpeting on the inside of the whole door & the whole cieling too? why?😳🤮
Hi Loyace, That’s more of a question for Scamp. It’s probably just an affordable option for insulation and sound dampening?
@@nickortego imagine how hard it is to clean! not like you can just wipe off the cieling or door! doors get really dirty, hand prints are always a problem! so who wants carpet on a door? that's gonna get awfully filthy and then need a SHAMPOOER to get it clean! what a ridiculous idea!

Ill give you 3k....thats it...its just a sweat box hunting trailer
