01 What makes it unique
Scamp lists the 13' X at 1,986 lb dry, a GVWR of 3,500 lb and a tongue weight of 232 lb. Scamp prints no cargo carrying capacity for it, so none is given here; the federal label inside the trailer carries one.
It is 13′ X long and 8′ 2″ (Top of Roof Rack) high. Scamp prints its tanks as 12 gal fresh, 21 gal grey, 6 gal black.
Among the 4 Scamp floorplans Scamp’s model pages on scamptrailers.com (no model year stated on the spec tables) lists with a published dry weight, it is number 3 from the lightest, in a range from 1,600 lb (13') to 3,100 lb (19' 5th Wheel). Every figure in that comparison is Scamp’s, read from the same set of model pages.
Every number on this page was read on 6 Nov 2026 from Scamp’s own model pages on scamptrailers.com (no model year stated on the spec tables) for the 13' X, which names no model year; the figures are shown as the maker published them, and no year is claimed for them.
How the X differs from the other two Scamp travel trailers. Most distinctive first. How these ranks are worked out.
- Dry weight, 1,986 lb: heaviest of three; next is the 16' (1,900 lb).
- Tongue weight, 232 lb: heaviest of three; next is the 16' (200 lb).
- Tongue weight as a share of dry weight, 11.7%: largest of three; next is the 13' (11.2%).
- Exterior height, 8 ft 2 in: tallest of three; next is the 16' (7 ft 9 in).
Next to the 16', the nearest lighter floorplan by dry weight, the X is 86 lb heavier by dry weight, has a tongue weight 32 lb heavier, is 3 ft shorter and stands 5 in taller; the two publish the same GVWR, interior height, fresh tank, grey tank and black tank.

Towing it
Check your vehicle. Enter the ratings from your owner’s manual and the door-pillar placard.
Compares your figures with this page’s published GVWR (3,500 lb) and the upper loaded tongue estimate (525 lb, a rule of thumb). Your vehicle’s placard and the trailer’s own weight label govern.
Loaded range: 10–15% of GVWR on the tongue, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433).

04 Notes on this floorplan
What Scamp does not publish for the 13' X
Scamp prints no cargo carrying capacity, sleeping capacity for this model, so none is given. Nothing is filled from a sibling model, a different model year or a dealer listing.
Read the label on the trailer
Federal rules put a load-carrying label inside every RV trailer: its unloaded weight with full propane, its cargo carrying capacity and its GVWR (49 CFR 571.110 and 571.120). Those figures come from the trailer itself and govern the towing decision.
05 How it compares
1,900 lb dry and 3,500 lb GVWR, against this model’s 1,986 lb and 3,500 lb.
3,100 lb dry and 4,000 lb GVWR, against this model’s 1,986 lb and 3,500 lb.
