  Jerry, My wife and I have owned a 00' Freedom Deluxe for several years. The only drawback which we have experienced, and it is more a reflection on our ages, is having to crawl over the bed partner to use the "facilities" in the middle of the night. This is a design which many manufacturers use, so we "groan & bear it". Since you refer to camping in Forest Service campgrounds, and not all of them have paved access, I'd order the high lift option. We have done extensive summer camping where having a generator to power the air conditioner has been a real blessing. We have the Fantastic Fan option and this also has proven to be a very useful option. The original equipment such as refrigerator, stove, water pump, water heater, A/C unit with heat strip, etc., have all performed flawlessly. We have had a problem breaking the shelves in the refer door, but this seems to be because we persist in trying to stuff them full of cold drinks when on the road and the weight is too much. The Casita is hard to even "nit-pick". They are solidly built with quality materials and have a history of longevity and better than average resale value. Ours is equipt with a weight distribution hitch and sway bar and also has of course electric brakes. It tows like a dream and feels one with the tow vehicle. We've had no surprises when encountering a blow out or emergency maneuvers in traffic. Ours was purchased used, and I also was unsure whether it was useful to have the WDH and sway control, but since they came with it they were put to use. Once experiencing towing with them, they would be part of any tow package in the future. IMHO, experiencing security sure beats ignorance I believe the majority of those who make use of this forum have had prior experience with other RV's (or felt insecure in tents) and have gravitated to FGRV's as a result. Your Ford may be a "bit much", but I'd try it first before purchasing another tug. You might be pleasantly surprised that mileage may not change much and in fact be an improvement over towing the stock trailer. I hope our observations have helped,Kurt & Ann K.  Our first FiberglassRV was 00' Freedom Deluxe. I replaced the axle with the high lift axle. We used the trailer to to go off road with our 0 x 0. We found it to be very well built, but like Kurt said, iot was a bit of an issue with crawling over each other. Also, the seating and the kitchen seem to place us both in the same space making it ackward at times.  We replaced it with a New 00' Casita, Liberty Deluxe. We love this model, but have found it to be not quite as strong a trailer.  I would say get ALL the options. We have found that our trailer tows very well without a WDH. We tow with a 000-V0 0X0 Chevy Tahoe.  Hi Jerry, and welcome! It sounds like you are just getting started in your search. Your tow rig is more than enough for this size of camp trailers. Plus don't stop with just Casita and Scamp there are more out there Escape just started making a fifth wheel And Bigfoot I think also make one someone correct me if I'm wrong. As for the quality of the trailers I think compared to conventional stick builts 00 yearsa down the road is when you will reallysee the difference. Any way finding the RV that catches your fancy is half the fun of getting one so enjoy the trip. Jerry Elven  Jerry, My wife and I have owned a 00' Freedom Deluxe for several years.

Hi Jerry I own a 0th wheeland tow with a 00 f000 and found that I need to put a lift in my 0er to tow level. I do not know if you can tow a Scamp 0er with the new Fords, The bed rails are so high. We love our Scamp, we camp off grid for a week at a time. We are installing another battery this winter and have a Honda to recharge Batteries. It all depends on what you want. We have the Deluxe and found when it is cool <below 00> it is hard to get warm air into the Bed area because of the front bath. We only have 00 Gal fresh water capacity but I do not find this to be a problem. All of the Fiberglass trailers are nice, I find towing with the small V0 I do not even feel the trailer behind me. My fuel costs have improved a lot over the old sticky as well. Good Luck  Our first FiberglassRV was 00' Freedom Deluxe. I replaced the axle with the high lift axle.
