Little Fifth Wheel

For some odd reason, I'm mesmerized by small fifth wheels. I took a picture of this one from the campground this past weekend.

Scamp makes an interesting molded fiberglass fifth wheel. See them occasionally. 19 feet.

Nah, the only call I would have considered making is, "Man, can I see it inside?".

I saw a similar one in Petit Jean SP in Arkansas last year. And I too found myself staring at it. My wife had to come get me one time because she said people were starting to talk....lol

We were leaving a state park last year and woke up to this little fella next to us.

Thanks, Terier - I honestly had no idea what Rugged Brown meant!

I guess I should crop that out- but I'd be awfully intrigued if you can get actual numbers off of what's in the picture. That card is so faded that I have to tilt it to catch the light to read the numbers with the card in my hand. And, it doesn't help that it's cracked a third of the way through it...

Geeze! I'd love to commission him to build one for our rig! I'm thinkin' (after checking out his build thread and how long it took) it'd be a tad cost prohibitive.

The detail is amazing, right down to the awnings and day/nite shades.

I remember spending a ton of time just reading his build thread- never mind actually building the thing!

Sorry - I see credit card and think "shopping!". Just kidding.

I didn't check but unless someone can see the numbers or there is more information that I noticed the pic should be harmless.
