I own a 13' molded fiberglass trailer. I've read posts every day for the last 4 years on fiberglassrv.com, both Casita sites, and the Scamp Yahoo group. I've been inside fiberglass trailers made by 18 different companies. I've never seen or heard of a molded fiberglass trailer that had a cassette toilet. They either have a black water tank and plumbing or they have no toilet.

Maybe I missed it but how many will be sleeping in the camper?
We have a 2004 Rockwood 21' and it will sleep 3, 2 on the queen bed and 1 on the dinnett once it is folded down.
It is very light weight, 3200lbs, with a GVWR of about 4500lbs.
When we bought it we did alot of local camping and used a Ford Ranger to tow it. Once we started to go a little farther from home we decided to upgarde the tow vehicle to an Expedition.
Anyway, we love the little camper, but we have to part with it because our famly is out growing it. To bad you live so far away.
Remember Rockwood and Flagstaff are the same.

The new TADA, made by the same company as the TAB, may have a cassette toilet. It is not a molded fiberglass trailer, though. They look real cute and seem fairly well built.

The biggest issue with the TADA is that it comes with a very small 12 volt fridge rather than the 3 way fridges most other trailers come with. Someone showed me their TADA and that was the first thing they said they would change.
If you want more sleep room and still want the molded fiberglass shell you might consider a 5th wheel. Escape makes one and I think Scamp does as well.

We just downsized from a 32ft 5th wheel and one ton diesel pickup to an 18 ft Eco by Skamper and a half ton Toyota Tundra. We just spent 3 weeks in it and I absolutely LOVE it! Yes, it is cozy and yes, we had to get used to the smaller space. We learned to spend more time outside, which is the purpose of camping anyway.
It has a full bathroom and shower. The shower is cozy and we mostly used the campsite shower, but both my hubby and I took a shower in it when we needed to.
It came with an outdoor table, cooking counter, and gas grill. Thus, you can move your kitchen outdoors and that is a wonderful thing to be able to do!
Also, we can pull it with our Toyota FJ Cruiser if we want. We were in the mountains on this trip so we took the Tundra - but we love that we can pull it with the cruiser.
It performed great, I would highly recommend it!
Here's the website.

P.S. We looked at the TADA and it is adorable and looks to be very well made - BUT my hubby is only 6 ft. tall, and he could not stand up in it.

Hey, that Eco looks pretty neat!
Which 18 foot model did you get?
