"Wet weight" (trailer loaded with gear) would run around 1100 -1200 lbs. if the tongue weight isn't too much, it should pull fine behind a 4 cyl. Other considerations to take into account would be where you would be towing it...flat-land vs' hills, and if your Toad has stuff like a tow-package. Generally, a 4 cyl. pulls a 13' Scamp just fine.

I just got a 85 fixer-upper... any advice?

1.Get a cheap digital camera and take pictures before, during & after you've worked on it. Then make a simple slideshow and post it...It is a joy in itself just to see your work serve as an inspiration for others.

2. Keep all and all pieces of fiberglass you may saw off your trailer...it's reusable.

3. HAVE FUN!!!

Just strip out all those old cramping fiberglass cabinets down to just the shell, and start over like we did. Re-insulate the interior shell with carpet, build custom cabinets, then add a rear cargo door for handy scooter/motorcycle/atv access too.....NOTHING like a vintage 13' Scampin' Toybox.
