Your Trusted Source for Lightweight Travel Trailers
Since 1971, Scamp Trailers has been synonymous with innovation and quality in the travel trailer industry. Founded by Duane Eveland and now led by third-generation president Micah Eveland, our family-owned business has overcome significant challenges, including a devastating factory fire in 2006 that spurred the creation of our state-of-the-art 37,000 sq ft facility in Backus, Minnesota. Our expertise in fiberglass engineering has produced three distinct trailer sizes (13', 16', and 19') that combine aerodynamic efficiency with remarkable durability, achieving industry-leading fuel economy while maintaining structural integrity across millions of miles.With the 2024 opening of our Phoenix, Arizona depot, we've expanded our commitment to customer support through dedicated sales, parts, and service departments. Our proprietary manufacturing processes incorporate advanced materials like composite floors and insulated windows, while maintaining the craftsmanship that has kept original 1970s models operational today. This combination of heritage and innovation positions Scamp Trailers as a trusted leader in lightweight travel solutions, serving both recreational adventurers and serious outdoor enthusiasts.
