Nice but a lack of storage and a shower/head. These can be made in this size with a curtain around a portapotty, etc.
And under the shelf/table should be storage.
Good ideas!
Nice looking metal roof and walnut slab. However, I don’t see any insulation? and I do see lots of plywood? It appears as though water intrusion might occur where the wall meets the trailer frame? I believe that one could purchase a more more complete and useful camper trailer for half that price!
You wouldn’t see insulation unless the wall was open and the space between the interior and exterior was exposed… Though they don’t mention it on their site whether it is insulated, it just can be, but they do mention options as they offer some customization, you’d just have to contact them to be sure… However, it does have conventional framing, so has studs and thus there is a space between the interior plywood panels and exterior wood siding. What you see on the interior is just trim and not the actual framing, just to make it look like timber framed…
While these are the specs they list for it…
Built on a Brand New Steel Welded Box Frame Trailer
Bed Frame with Drawers Converts to a Double Bed with Mattresses Included
4 Sliding, Tempered, and Insulated Dual Pane Windows
Spare Tire
Leveling Jacks
High Quality Metal Roofing and Snow & Ice Shield
Waterproof Flooring
High Quality Treated Cedar Siding and Outdoor Countertop
Black Walnut Live Edge Foldaway Interior Countertop
Lockable Utility Box
Note the waterproof flooring… The trailer frame is also powder coated… So it should take more than a little water intrusion to be a issue…
While they can build these to order, which you wouldn’t be able to get for a camper trailer for half that price but these cater to those seeking a particular look and feel of a cabin, which if that doesn’t interest you then there are of course alternatives…
The current average price for a used “Scamp” ’13 is
$5,489.00 The interior dimensions of the 13′ are 120″l x 78″w x 78″ h.
The average (unloaded) weight is approx 1000lb. and the tongue wt is 85 lb.
As someone who has traveled, camped, and lived in converted vans, and sailboats I can say
that comfort and “livability” are directly related the amount and access of storage and the
amenities one has available. Being warm or cool and dry is paramount. I once spent 3 months
and 11,000+ miles in a VW Karmen Ghia (Northern Ca to Chicago to East coast to Key West Fl to
LA to Seattle). With bicycle on the roof and a good tent it was not a comfortable road-trip. I couldn’t even look at celery, hummus or peanut butter for years thereafter. The ability to store and prepare food impacts the comfort and cost of travel, “camping” or off-grid living. I lived for years on a farm in the frozen north in a geodesic dome which I built – with a wood-stove, composting toilet, and outdoor shower. I’ve lived in FL for nearly twenty years (32′ sailboat, 10×20 tiny house, 400′ cottage, and
2000′ green home) and insects, heat, wind, and water are ever-present threats. I have found that the longer one resides in a dwelling of any sort the less important the “granola factor” seems.
Like I said, there are of course alternatives. They won’t be custom, they won’t be new, they most likely won’t even remotely look like a cabin and will be even built more minimally but there are always trade offs…
The thicker framing of this means less interior space and heavier weight, 1480 lbs on a 5′ x 8′ (2000lb GVWR) 2020 Karavan Trailer, but that also makes it more durable and could actually have some insulation because it has room for it… The Metal Roofing and Snow & Ice Shield means it can handle a snow load, which is not something you would really want to do with most scampers and is another contributing factor towards its durability advantage… The 4 Sliding, Tempered, and Insulated Dual Pane Windows at the very least will reduce moisture issues and give this a better insulation value than most scampers… There’s a fair amount of bed storage that many needs for an outing can be stored in but it’s not meant for long trips and thus depends on how one wants to use it… Being a custom builder they do cost more but they can also add electrical, shelves, sink, etc. and means you’re not limited to just what they are showing, which can allow it to be improved for longer periods of use…
So, a bit more than just the “granola factor”, but still not for everyone… Again, always trade offs…
I think the key word here is camping, having a small, affordable, easy to tow camper to hang out for a few days while you cook on a fire, or set up your stovetop on a picnic table, be with family or friends together outside, take it easy for a few days. It is like tent camping only better, dryer, and warmer in the winter, and cooler in the summer. When you go to a campground for a few days, you can use the showers and bathrooms there, and you don’t take a large wardrobe, just enough clothes to get by, so storage is not an issue. Most campgrounds (even at tent sites) usually have an electrical hookup (I noticed it has a string of cute lights around the top), or you can have a solar setup, and campgrounds always have places to fill up water jugs. It is a great little camper not built with full time living in mind (though I think I could easily live in it full time). It’s a dry camper, and a darn good one at that!
Well put, it’s a camper.
Exactly! Without some kind of water or solar set-up it would be quite tough to live here full-time.
It’s cute.
I for one really like the looks of it with the whole cabin vibe. One could very easily put in a wood stove and it would be quite comfortable even without insulation. I love the wood mountain scene, adds an awesome touch.
Very true. A tiny wood stove would be a great touch.
I live in a 54″×144″×75″ Tiny Framed House in the Mountains of Western North Carolina, year round.
All this cant this and that is bunk.. It can be whatever they want and it has alot of issues resolved for people who want something small and different…
Love this perspective!
