Cover Option

Some Scamp owners use the Calmark cover. Check: calmarkcovers.com They know the measurements for Scamp models even with various options added on the trailer roof. Their product is high quality, will cost about $600 with shipping, but will also stand up to the weather for many years. Our cover just went through its first winter and still looks brand new. A nice feature is its zippered door with easy access while your Scamp is in storage.

Antenna Concern

You may wish to speak to the people at Calmark personally. When I asked about an antenna they recommended setting a plastic laundry basket upside down under the cover but over the antenna. They said to put a sliced insulated foam pipe over the basket edges that touch the roof to prevent any potential scratching. It seems like they have heard many questions before about trailer top accessories and had inexpensive solutions.

Another option for Scamp 13' cover that fits nicely

Since I just went through the 'find a cover that fits' exercise, I thought I would update this thread. 
While the cover from elitemotoronline is still available on eBay ($150), another company (based in near-to-me Kent, WA) recently started selling this option:
https://classicaccessories.com/polypro-3-molded-fiberglass-travel-trailer-cover at a list price of $167.  I initially got one on Walmart.com for $90 with in-store pickup.  But had to return it (wrong size= see below) and found a correct sized 'open box' on Amazon for around $50!  (Only the outer box was opened; the inner box was still factory sealed.)
For the Scamp 13', you want the SMALL version (Model 1, 80294143101RT ) for 8'-10' molded fiberglass travel trailers.  This despite me asking the manufacturer which size to get and getting a response telling me to buy the bigger one (Model 2 for 10'-13' molded fiberglass travel trailers, 80295153101RT).  When I picked up the cover from Walmart, there's a diagram on the box showing both models and clearly the smaller one is the correct one for a Scamp 13'.
Anyway, after a return and reorder, the cover seems to be well made and fits nicely.  It almost stretches enough to cover the propane cylinder regulator on the front tongue, but doing so puts stress on the back corner of the sun canopy tube. Even I, at 5'4", can put it on by myself. cheeky  When you have it on correctly, the zippered door flap is in the correct place and the securing straps that run underneath the Scamp are easily accessible.  
Be aware that the entire cover is NOT waterproof.  In order to improve its breathability, only the top (white) part of the cover is waterproof.  The grey side panels are breathable.  In the rainy Seattle area, I plan to get the ShelterLogic 9x16 Monarc canopy to put over my little baby before the winter rains really set in.
I'll try to remember next spring to post about the cover's performance/durability.

Thanks for the tip...

Thanks for the tip...

Looking at the photo is appears that this cover has a flat top and would not work with a Scamp that has roof A/C.  Would you agree?

So would the larger size fit a Scamp 16 (maybe without roof A/C)?

winter covers in Pacific northwest?

We've had our Scamp 19 ft for a year and a half now, stored in an uncovered parking area next to our driveway in NW Oregon, and it came through the winter pretty mossy (and pollen residue, etc.). So we're thinking seriously about a cover, but I'm wondering if the cover will actually prevent moss or if it will cause other problems such as trapping moisture, which would add mildew to the problem. Anyone with experience with this? Or thoughts about best application of a cover? I was wondering about some kind of spacers to keep the cover from clinging to the trailer sides and allow air flow. Also wondering about circulating air between the cover and the trailer (we run a dehumidifier inside the trailer during the wet season).
