What to Expect
This is a vintage camper, which means it’s full of charm and a few quirks. It’s not perfect—but that’s part of its personality. If you’re after a shiny luxury RV, this isn’t the one. But if you want something cozy, practical, and full of old-school camping spirit, you’ll love it.
Sleeping Arrangements
• Front sofa converts into bunk beds (best for kids or smaller adults).
• Rear dining area transforms into a double bed.
• Comfortably sleeps up to 4 adventurers.
Why You’ll Love It
• Ultra-light fiberglass build—easy to tow with most vehicles.
• Compact size = easy maneuvering and parking.
• Warm, dry, and snug in any Alaska season.
• Comes stocked with the basics to cook a meal: pot, pan, can opener, spoon and spatula. Please provide your own bedding and pillows or message me and we can work something out if bedding is needed.

A Note From Me
My passion is helping travelers experience the beauty of Alaska warmly and comfortably. This Scamp isn’t about luxury—it’s about fun, simplicity, and making memories. If you’re interested, send me a message with your towing experience and a little bit about your trip plans (general location). I’ll happily answer any questions and help you get ready for the road.
Thanks for reading—and happy Scamping!

Host rules
• 🚭 No smoking or vaping inside – the Scamp is tiny, and smells love to linger.
• 🐾 Pets by request only – I adore animals, but please ask first to make sure it’s a good fit.
• 🛻 Stick to maintained roads – She’s vintage and likes smoother paths.
• ⏱️ Take it slow – please keep your towing speed under 65 mph. It keeps you, your passengers, and the Scamp safer (and happier).
• ✨ Leave it tidy – wash the dishes, wipe things down, and take out the trash. Think “campsite clean.”
• 🚫 No climbing on the roof – she may be fiberglass, but she’s not a jungle gym.
• 💕 Handle with care – the Scamp is vintage, which means a little quirky. Please go gentle on doors, windows, and latches.
• 🔥 Propane refills – if you use propane, return it with the same amount you started with.
• ⏰ Respect pickup and drop-off times – if you need extra flexibility, just message me and we’ll work it out.
