Mine came with a bike rack upfront (I took it off), but you could fit two mountain bikes in the storage area if you took off the wheels. I snapped a pic to give you an idea. I have some stuff in the storage area, and the bike is not pushed in all the way either.

Thanks!! That helps in my shopping. Only ones I have seen in person were on the highway and difficult to tell if that door is big enough. Now, can the prices get back to normal!!!

Been towing the fat pig 20' V8 powered old 93 boat this year on 37's. I can't really tell the difference from the 35's I had on it last summer.

My 19 was a Deluxe with 14" wheels. Someday I hope to add 1-1/2" lift to the 16' Scamp and put 14 or 15" wheels under it.

Light work, pretty impressed actually. These things have great brakes.

This just feels so unnecessary…why even make it a 5th wheel…..its so small i could pull it with a golf cart as a traditional trailer :CWL:

they’re neat but why make it a 5th wheel? I have to be missing something

The 5th wheel version has an extra bed in the top. Sometimes I need the extra room. I also have a 13ft Scamp when it's just me and the wife!

Google will also lay out the pros and cons 5th wheel vs. rear hitch.

To each their own and all. Just seems youd get more bang for you buck with a traditional pull behind in the same weight range and not loose functionality of your bed.
Not trying to be an ass or anything. It just seems inefficient

I get the differences between the fifth wheel and a traditional hook up but I just can’t see how it makes sense for such a small travel trailer… Not trying to start a big thing here it’s just baffling to me
