Suggestions wanted for small travel trailer
I am considering getting a small travel trailer such as a Scamper to tow with my 2007 diesel Jetta Sportswagon. I have seen the Scamper and Casita brands and was wondering if there are others and what...

Fiberglassrv.com is another forum you may like to visit, as the vast majority of owners there have such trailers. I'm on there, too.
Unless you want to go to a place like Can-Am in Ontario and get a custom hitch fabricated & installed, you probably want to stick to a 13' egg. A 16 footer will weigh more like 2500 loaded, and 250-350 on the tongue; you'd need a beefier hitch receiver and a weight distribution hitch as well. And frankly, if your dogs are very big, a 13 will be pretty crowded.
On the plus side, you'd probably be able to expect around 30 mpg with such a rig.
Scamp, Casita, Trillium, Boler (the latter no longer made) are all possibilities. If you do go larger than 13 footers, add in Parkliner and Li'l Snoozy as candidates.
